Remote Station Guide Jul82

This document, the "TOPS-10 Remote Station Guide (AA-D783B-TB)," published July 1982, is intended for users and remote station operators of PDP-11-based remote stations that connect to a TOPS-10 host system. It provides comprehensive information covering both hardware and software aspects.

Specifically, this manual:

• Target Audience: Guides users and remote station operators.
• Hardware Covered: Details the DN80-series (PDP-11/40 based, including DN80 and DN82 models) and DN200 (PDP-11/34 based) remote stations and concentrators.
• Key Topics:
  • Operator Procedures: Covers startup, restarting, logging in, managing station devices, starting printer and card reader scheduling, and using the OPSER program. It also describes available equipment like the LA36 console, card readers, printers, and terminals.
  • User Procedures: Explains user facilities, using the NETWORK command, printing output, and submitting batch jobs.
  • Troubleshooting: Provides guidance for normal operation and addressing various problems that may occur.
  • Appendices: Includes descriptions of ROM switches, NETLDR command strings and loading examples, punched card codes (ASCII character sets), a glossary of terms, remote station OPR commands, and using special print forms.

This manual (AA-D783B-TB) supersedes the previous "TOPS-10 DN200 Remote Station Guide (AA-D783A-TB)." Major updates include the transition from TOPS-10 Version 6.03A to 7.01, along with corresponding software updates (e.g., CHK11, DN82/DN200, NETLDR, OPR, GLXLIB, GALAXY). New features covered are the "Operator Interface" (a GALAXY system feature) and new appendices on "Glossary," "Remote Station OPR Command," and "Using Special Print Forms." The "Reading Dump Files" appendix from the previous version has been eliminated, and information on the GALAXY batch and spooling system has been updated from Version 2 to 4.1.
