Software Product Description
PRODUCT NAME: CTS 300 DICAM II, Version 1
DESCRIPTION:
CTS 300 OICAM \I (Datasystem Interactive Communications Access Method) is a communications option
that executes under the CTS 300 operating system. It
permits a user-written DlBOl application program executing on a Datasystem 350 to communicate with a
user-written application program executing on an
IBM/360 or 370 system running CICS. With the
360/370, OICAM \I uses the same interactive communications facilities as a 3271 remote keyboard display controller. DICAM \I does not interpret or execute any 3271 commands. All commands are passed
directly to the addressed DlBOl program for interpretation and response at the user application level.

To the 360/370 application program, each display or
printer which is normally on the 3271 controller is a
DIBOl application program or programs in the
Datasystem. In the Datasystem, the OIBOl application
program or programs communicate with the 360/370
via OICAM \I in the same manner they would with any
other peripheral device on the Datasystem.
DICAM \I permits ful\ use of the Datasystem 350 commercial data processing capabilities. The DIBOl application program presents information to DICAM for
transmission to the 360/370 system. DICAM receives
data from the 360/370 system and presents it to the
DIBOl application program. The information transmitted between the two systems is limited to the EBCDIC
alphanumeric and 3271 control codes. OICAM II can
operate on a communications line with other types of
terminals that can transmit and receive in transparent
mode.
DICAM \I relieves the DIBOl application program of
message format and error control considerations. 01CAM \I handles data errors between the Oatasystem
and the 360/370 automatically. If the communications
link to the 360/370 is not operating or is operating
poorly, DICAM \I notifies the DIBOl program and the
program can treat the link as a malfunctioning
peripheral.
OICAM \I will operate on communications links at
speeds up to 9600 baud. The throughput of OICAM 1\
is a function of response from the 360/370 host system and the rate at which the DIBOl application program can process data. Assuming immediate response from both the host and the applications program, DICAM \I will use less than 50 percent of the
Datasystem's available processing time when actively
transmitting or receiving data at 4800 baud. On multi-

drop lines when DICAM \I is not transmitting or
receiving, DICAM 1\ will use less than 10 percent of
available processing time.
Summary characteristics of DICAM \I Version 1 are:
• supports private or leased full- or half-duplex communications facilities
• operates in multidrop line configurations
• uses BISYNC protocol (non-contention only)
• transmits and receives EBCDIC coded data over
communication line
• supports up to eight logical data paths
• Memory managed D350 system support
MINIMUM HARDWARE REQUIRED:
• D352, 0354 or D356 system (includes CTS-300)
• DS3CE DICAM \I communications package
• At least 8K bytes of memory available for DICAM \I
and at least 500 bytes of memory available for one
buffer
• A master host 360/370 configuration which must include a 2701 data adapter, a 2703 transmission
control unit, a 3704 or 3705 transmission controller,
or a system 370 model 135 integrated communications adapter
OPTIONAL HARDWARE:
KG11-A communications arithmetic option
PREREQUISITE SOFTWARE:
• CTS 300, Version 4 (included with all Datasystem
350 systems)
• The IBM 360/370 host system must be running
CICS using an access method that supports 3271
OPTIONAL SOFTWARE:
DICAM \I T

Users of DICAM \I who wish to send and receive data
in the standard BISYN transparent-text mode can do
so by ordering DICAM \I T. DICAM \I is a prerequisite.
DICAM \I T is discussed in a seperate SPD.

-2CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES:
Before installation of the Software, the Customer
must:
1. Obtain, install, and demonstrate operational to
DIGITAL'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 any and all IBM systems that will be
communicating with DICAM to DIGITAL's satisfaction.
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. Provide an IBM applicalivn program to provide
proper response to the test program defined in
DICAM II V1 documentation.
7. If necessary, edit the DICAM II V1 test program
(PDP-11 based) to include the correct message
to be sent to the IBM system (or supply DIGITAL
personnel with this message).
Delays caused by any failure to meet these responsibilities will be charged at the then prevailing rate for
time and materials.

UPDATE POLICY:
Software Updates, if any, released by DIGITAL during
the one (1) year period following installation, will be
provided to the customer for a media charge
(includes no installation). After the first year, updates,
if any, will be made available according to then prevailing DIGITAL policies.
