Software Product Description
PRODUCT NAME: DN64, Version 1, DECSYSTEM-20 2780/3780 Emulator/Terminator

SPD 23.1.1

DESCRIPTION:
The DN64 emulates and/or terminates Model 76 DATA 100 units, or equivalent with the 2780/3780 features described below. It enables a DECSYSTEM-20
equipped with a DN20 communications front-end to:
• submit 2780/3780 remote entry jobs to an IBM
360/370
• process jobs submitted from 2780/3780 terminals

of 19.2K baud. The lines can interface to:
• Bell System 301 C modems at 2.4K baud
• Bell System 208A or 208B modems at 4.8K baud
• Bell System 209A modems at 9.6K baud
• ICC COM LINK II modems at 19.2K baud
Equivalent modems can also be used. It is the user's
responsibility to demonstrate equivalency.

Emulation Mode:
In emulation mode, the DN64 connects a DECSYSTEM-20 to an IBM 360 or 370. The DECSYSTEM-20
appears to the IBM system to be a DATA 100 emulating an IBM 2780 or 3780 remote job entry station.
The IBM 360 or 370 systems must be running one of
the fo~lowing:
• OS/VS2 (SVS) HASP II Version 4
• OS/VS2 (MVS) with JES2
• OS/MVT HASP II Version 3.1
• OS/MVT ASP Version 3.1
• OS/VS2 (SVS) ASP 3.2
A DECSYSTEM-20 user can submit a disk file containing IBM JCL and ASCII data to the IBM system as
a batch job. The DN64 translates the data to EBCDIC
before transmitting the job to the IBM system. Any
output data retu rned to the DECSYSTEM-20 is translated into ASCII and printed. In emulation mode, the
DN64 does not handle special forms.

MINIMUM HARDWARE REQUIRED:
Any ~~lid DECSYSTEM-20 configuration running
TOPS-20 and GALAXY batch and spooling system
that includes a DN20 front end with at least one synchronous line interface.

When connected to an OS/VS2 (SVS) HASP II
Version 4 or OS/VS2 (MVS) with JES2 system, the
DN64 allows the DECSYSTEM-20 user to route output
from the IBM system to a given disk area on the
DECSYSTEM-20.
Termination Mode:
In termination mode, the DN64 connects a DECSYSTEM-20 to a DATA 100 unit with 2780/3780 (or equivalent) terminals. (It is the user's responsibility to demonstrate 2780/3780 equivalency.) The 2780/3780 remote station user submits a DECSYSTEM-20 batch
control file from the remote station's card reader. The
DN64 returns any job output to the remote station for
printing on its printer.

The
DN64
supports a maximum aggregate
termination rate of 40K baud from up to 6 synchronous communication lines. The lines can range in
speed from a minimum of 2.4K baud to a maximum

and spooling system.

ADDENDUM
SOFTWARE SUPPORT CATEGORIES
Each software product (hereinafter 'SOFTWARE') with a designated Support Category A or B in the applicable Software Product
Description (SPD) existing at the time of order will be the current release at the time of delivery and will conform to the SPD.
DIGITAL's sole obligation shall be to correct defects (nonconformance of the SOFTWARE to the SPD) as described below. Any
SOFTWARE with a designated Support Category C will be furnished on an 'as is' basis.
For SOFTWARE with a designated Support Category A or B, DIGITAL will provide the services set forth below without additional
charge.
CATEGORY A
1. Upon notification by customer to the nearest DIGITAL office that the computer system, including all required prerequisite
hardware and software, is ready for the installation of the SOFTWARE, DIGITAL will install such SOFTWARE in any location
within the contigl.lous forty-eight (48) United States, the District of Columbia, or a country in which DIGITAL or a subsidiary
of DIGITAL has a software service facility. The notification must be received by DIGITAL and the system must be ready for
