mDmDomo Software Product Description PRODUCT NAME: COS-310/2780, Version 7.0, Remote Data Communication Package (RDCP) SPD 6.11.3 SECTION A: COS-31 0/2780 SPECIFIC INFORMATION DESCRIPTION: COS-310/27BO Remote Data Communications Package (RDCP) enables a DS310 system running COS310 to act as a remote job entry (RJE) terminal. COS310/27BO users can transmit data and/or job control files to another COS-310/27BO system, to a DIGITAL system running a 27BO emulator, or to an IBM 360/370 system running OS/RJE, DOS/POWER, HASP/RJE, or ASP/RJE. COS-310/27BO operates at line speeds of up to 9600 bits per second over switched or private facilities using Bell System series 201, 20B, or 209 modems. COS-310/27BO appears as an IBM 27BO Model 2 (with data routed to a disk file instead of a card punch) data transmission terminal in a pOint-to-point synchronous data link operating in a standard 2780 format. It transmits logical records of BO or fewer characters and receives logical records of up to 132-characters. COS-310/27BO can also transmit a nonstandard 132 character length record. Blocks oan be up to 400 characters long. Data can be transmitted from disk or card reader. Received data can be stored on disk or printed on the line printer. Features: • 400-character buffer • multiple record transmission and reception • short record (EM) detection for card reader transmission • vertical and horizontal print format control • automatic retransmission and retry feature • conversion of COS-310 file format to EBCDIC for transmission • full text transparency available for transmission • use of the DS310 for business applications when COS-310/27BO is not running • maximum line speeds of 9600 bits per second with disk pack based DS310 systems, 4BOO bits per second with floppy disk based DS310 systems • unattended batch operation • automatic restart capability for interrupted dial-up data links July 1978 In addition to providing 2780 emulation, COS310/27BO can transmit and receive program files stored on disk to and from another COS-31 0/2780.

SPD 6.11.3 COS-310/2780, Version 2 -3SECTION B: COS-310/2780, Version 7.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION 2780 Emulator is the collective name for the set of software products that allows various DIGITAL operating systems to emulate the operation of an IBM 2780 Model 1 or 2 Data Transmission Terminal with the multiple record option. Emulation of the 2780 permits communication between such DIGITAL 2780 emulators and the following IBM Remote Job Entry programs supporting the device: OS/HASP, OS/ ASP, DOS-POWER and OS/RJE. The 2780 Emulator can also be used to implement communications between DIGITAL systems, each with the appropriate emulator. The following DIGITAL operating systems support the emulator for the 2780 Model 2: RSTS/E (CTS-SOO), RSX-11 D, RSX-11 M, RT -11, DECsystem-10, and COS-310 (with data routed to the disk file instead of a card punch). In addition, a COS-310 based emulator and a LSI-11 based RT-11 (CTS-300) 2780 are available (Model 1 2780 only). Section A gives the distinguishing features of the particular 2780 emulator described by this SPD. The remainder of this section describes items common to all PDP-11 2780 emulators. OPERATION: After the system operator starts the 2780 Emulator, it solicits and responds to console command input. Transmission: All 2780 emulators can transmit data from card readers, if they are present in the system, and transmit data files from disk storage devices. The RSTS/E 2780 Emulator has the added capability of spooling or queuing transmission requests from timesharing users. All 2780 emulators transmit EBCDIC and binary data. Since the host systems use the ASCII character set, however, they accept ASCII characters for transmission and then perform automatic character conversion. No conversion is performed on binary data. The physical units of data that are transmitted are called blocks. Blocks are divided into logical units called records. Maximum block size is 400 characters; maximum record size when transmitting to IBM operating systems is 80 characters. When communicating with other 2780's or 2780 emulators, the record size is variable up to 132 characters. Records that are less than the maximum allowable are either extended to the maximum by blank filling, or transmitted as is, at the user's option. Up to seven (7) records can be transmitted per block. NOTE: Limited to 2780 mode only for PDP-11 communication. Reception: All 2780 emulators can print received character data on a line printer if one is present in the system. In most cases, the software simulates limitedfunction vertical format control (VFC) by providing Top of Form (Skip to Channel 1), Print-and-Space-1, -2, or -3 line(s) functions, and Skip to Channels 2 through 8, all of which cause modulo 8 line space operation-i.e., skip to the next line which is an even multiple of 8 from top-of-form. Both 64- and 96-char- acter line printers are supported. However, support of line printers which are too slow to keep up with the speed of the communications link (i.e., LS11 and L V11) is limited to "off-line" or DIGITAL-to-DIGIT AL usage, because their speed can cause timeout errors in an IBM system. All emulators write files onto disk storage devices. In such cases, a separate file is created for each received file. All 2780 emulators receive EBCDIC or binary data. They can automatically convert EBCDIC data to ASCII upon reception, or EBCDIC data can be written to a file by use of the binary mode. Maximum receive block size is 400 characters. The maximum receive record size is a two-character escape code, plus 132 data characters. Up to seven (7) records can be received per block. All emulators provide automatic answer to dial-in rings. Modems and Data Links: All 2780 emulators support operation over synchronous data links, in point-topoint contention mode only, at speeds up to 4800 bits per second (except the LSI-11 based RT -11 2780, which runs up to 2400 bits per second). Bell 201 or 208 modems or equivalent are specified. Operation with other modems is not precluded, but warranted support does not apply in these cases. Data link control characters are supplied automatically by the emulators. On transmission error, the emulators will re-try up to seven (7) times before declaring the link dead. Configuring PDP-11 2780 Emulator Systems: Configuration requirements for each emulator are defined in Section A. Briefly, the PDP-11 2780 Emulators require the following hardware beyond the standard operating system configurations: • DP11, DU11, DUP11, or DUV11 Synchronous Line Interface Communications Arithmetic Element • KG11-A (except the LSI-11 based RT-11 2780) • KW11-L or KW11-P clock (except the LSI-11 based RT -11 2780) • 8K words of additional memory beyond the minimum may be required. (Refer to Section A.) TRAINING CREDITS: No training credits are included in the 2780 Emulator Software License charges. Training courses are not required in order to operate the product. SUPPORT CATEGORY: The initial binary package carries Category A support. Sources have Category C support. Installation will be deemed complete in the case of connection with IBM when: COS-310/2780, Version 2 SPO 6.11.3 -4- • The customer's 360/370 configuration includes a 2701 Data Adapter, a 2703 Transmission Control Unit, a 3704 or 3705 Transmission Controller, or a System/370 Model 135 Integrated Communications Adapter. • A DIGITAL sample procedure included with the software has been successfully executed. 4. Make available to DIGITAL personnel all hardware, including communications facilities and terminals, to be used during installation and acceptance testing for a reasonable period of time each day as mutually agreed upon by DIGITAL and customer, until acceptance criteria are satisfied. 5. Provide access privileges and machine time on any and all IBM systems on which the installation is to be performed. 6. When communicating with IBM, make available to DIGITAL personnel an IBM 360/370 job stream with data, to run via the 2780 Emulator on-line to a 360/370 in accordance with the configuration specifications outlined above. Installation in DIGITAL-to-DIGITAL operation will be deemed complete when DIGITAL supplied files can be successfully transmitted in both directions. CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES: Before installation of the software, the customer must: 1. Obtain, install, and demonstrate operational to DIG IT AL's satisfaction any modems and other equipment and facilities necessary to interface to DIGITAL's communications line interfaces and terminals. 2. Install or have installed all hardware, including terminals, to be used on the system. 3. Generate for terminal support any and all IBM systems that will be communicating with the Emulator, to DIGITAL's satisfaction. Delays caused by any failure to meet these responsibilites will be charged at the then prevailing rate for time and materials.
