Software Product Description
PRODUCT NAME: RT -11 2780/3780 Protocol Emulator, Version 4.0

SPD 10.16.0

DESCRIPTION:

MINIMUM HARDWARE REQUIRED:

The RT-11 2780/3780 Protocol Emulator (PE) provides
suitably configured PDP-11 systems running RT-11,
Version 4.0 with communications capabilities similar
to IBM 2780 and 3780 remote batch terminals.

Any valid RT-11 Operating System, Version 4.0 FB or
XM configuration with at least 32K bytes of memory
and one of the following devices:

The emulator runs under the RT-11 Version 4.0 Foreground/Background (FB) or Extended Memory (XM)
monitor as either a foreground or background job. The
emulator accepts commands interactively or from indirect command files. Commands are provided for
operation in unattended environments. The emulator
supports operation of a single full- or half-duplex synchronous point-to-point line at transmission speeds up
to 9600 bits per second on an otherwise idle system
(maximum line speed on PDT-11 is 4800 bits per
second). Support for automatic answer to incoming
calls is a-Iso available for use with those modems that
provide this capability.
The communications discipline implemented by the
RT-11 2780/3780 PE is a subset of IBM's Binary Synchronous Communications (BSC) protocol that uses
the EBCDIC transmission code. Horizontal format control records can be received and processed. A
subset of vertical format control escape sequences is
supported, specifically single, double, and triple
space, form feed, and space suppress. Any block
addressable storage device supported by RT -11,
Version 4.0 can be used as a source of transmission
files. Both fixed length (80 character card image) and
variable length transmitted as either EBCDIC (automatically translated from ASCII) or binary data (no
translation). BSC control characters are automatically
added to the data before transmission and stripped
upon reception. Any block addressable storage device
or I ine printer supported by RT -11, Version 4.0 can be
used to receive files.
The following 2780/3780 remote batch terminal features are supported:
•
•
•
•
•

2780 multiple record transmission option
Transparent mode
3780 space compression
Variable horizontal forms control
Print and punch component selection on receive

• On PDP-11 - DU11 or DUP11
·OnLSI-11-DUV11
• On PDT-11/130 or PDT-11/150 - SCI

OPTIONAL HARDWARE:
KG11 CRC arithmetic unit
(The KG11 will not be supported in future releases.)

PREREQUISITE SOFTWARE:
RT -11 Operating System, Version 4.0 with FB or XM
monitor. The RT -11, Version 4.0 FB monitor is suitable,
as distributed, for RT-11 2780/3780 PE operation. Certain optional RT -11 2780/3780 PE features will require
an RT-11 sysgen.

OPTIONAL SOFTWARE:
None

TRAINING CREDITS:
None

to be provided. It includes descriptions of the DIGITAL
and IBM systems, the physical communications
link(s), the application, the expected data traffic, the
required level of support, and recommendations for
additional support service.

CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES:
Before installation of the software, the customer must:
• Previously have installed all requisite hardware including terminals
• Obtain, install, and demonstrate as operational any
modems and other equipment and facilities necessary to interface to DIGITAL's communication
equipment
• Demonstrate equivalency of operation for modems
other than Bell 201 C and 208, or in Europe, PTT
approved synchronous modems
• Provide a know working relevant file or job that can
be submitted to the remote system to facilitate
installation verification of the software
• Make available for a reasonable period of time, as
mutually agreed by DIGITAL and the customer, all
hardware, communication facilities terminals, and
relevant remote system personnel that are to be
used during installation.
• Accept responsibility for the proper operation of
equipment or software not provided by DIGITAL
and conformance of such equipment or software to
