  NAME

    hosts.ftam - ISO/OSI application address database

  DESCRIPTION

    The /etc/hosts.ftam file maps names to application entity titles and names
    to presentation addresses.  The application entity name with a maximum of
    39 characters uniquely identifies each OSI system.

    The presentation address of an application entity is defined as a PSAP-
    selector (presentation service access point), SSAP-selector (session
    service access point), TSAP-selector (transport service access point), and
    NSAP-address (network service access point).

    Communication between the ISO/OSI layers is through these service access
    points (SAPs).  An application entity (AE) can access the services of a
    particular presentation entity (PE) through a PSAP.  A PSAP is identified
    by a PSAP-selector, which is used by the PE to identify the particular AE.
    An SSAP-selector is used by the session entity (SE) to identify the
    particular PE.  A TSAP-selector is used by the transport entity (TE) to
    identify the particular SE.

    Refer to the ISO/OSI Product Overview in the Intergraph ISO/OSI
    Administrator's Guide for a detailed description of an NSAP.

    The network service access point (NSAP) address and application entity
    title adhere to the standard ISO 6523.  This file requires the system
    administrator to assign the subnetwork point of attachment (SNPA) for each
    name in the file.

    Information is written to the hosts.ftam file when you use the osiconfig
    command to configure ftam.

  EXAMPLE

    In the following example of an /etc/hosts.ftam file, lines that begin with
    a number sign (#) are comments.
