OpenTP1 supports the TCP/IP and OSI TP communication protocols for client/server communications. This section provides an overview of use of OSI TP as the communication protocol. To use the OSI TP communication protocol, you must have TP1/NET/Library, TP1/NET/OSI-TP-Extended, and an OSI TP communication management product. An OpenTP1 system service (XATMI communication service) is also required.

The following figure shows the client/server communications mode when OSI TP is used.
