CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCfION
1.1 SCOPE
This chapter contains introductory information about the DPVIl. It includes a general description,
and a brief overview of the DPVII operation, features, general specifications, and configurations.

1.2 DPVII GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DPVII is a serial synchron.ous line interface for connecting an LSI-II bus to a serial synchronous
modem that is compatible with EIA RS-232-C interface standards and EIA RS-423-A and RS-422-A
electrical standards. EIA RS-422-A compatibility is provided for use in local communications only
(timing and data leads only). The DPVll is intended for character-oriented protocols such as BISYNC,
byte count-orieated protocols such as DDCMP, or bit-oriented data communication protocols such as
SDLC. The DPVII does not provide automatic error generating and checking for BISYNC.
The DPVll consists of one double-height module and may be connected to an EIA RS-232-C modem
by a BC26L-25 (RS-232-C) cable.
The DPVII is a bus request device only and must rely on the system software for service. Interrupt
control logic generates requests for the transfer of data between the DPVll and the LSI-II memory by
means of the LSI-II bus. (Figure 1-1 shows the DPVII system.)

1.3 DPVIIOPERATION
The DPV 11 is a double-buffered program interrupt interface that provides parallel-to-serial conversion
of data to be transmitted and serial-ta-parallel conversion of received data. The DPV II can operate at
speeds up to 56K b/s. * It has five 16-bit registers which can be accessed in word or byte mode. These
registers are assigned a block of four contiguous LSI-II bus word addresses that start on a boundary
with the low-order three bits being zeros. This block of addresses is jumper-selectable and may be
located anywhere between 1600008 and 1777768. Two of these registers share the same address. One is
accessed during a read from the address, the other during a write to the address. For a detailed description of each of the five registers, refer to Chapter 3. These registers are used for status and control
information as well as data buffers for both the transmitter and receiver portions of the DPV 11.

1.4

1.7 EIA STANDARDS OVERVIEW (RS-449jRS-232-C)
The most common interface standard used in recent years has been the RS-232-C. However, this standard has serious limitations for use in modern data communication systems. The most critical limitations
are in speed and distance.

1-3

For this reason, RS-449 standard has been developed to replace RS-232-C; It maintains a degree of
compatibility with RS-232-C to accommodate an upward transition to RS-449.
The most significant difference between RS-232-C and RS-449 is in the electrical characteristics of
signals used between the data communication equipment (DCE) and the data terminal equipment
(DTE). The RS-232-C standard uses only unbalanced circuits, while the RS-449 uses both balanced
and unbalanced electrical circuits. The specifications for the types of electrical circuits supported by
RS-449 are contained in EIA standards RS-422-A for balanced circuits and RS-423-A for unbalanced
circuits. These new standards permit much greater transmission speed and will allow greater distance
between DTE and DCE. The maximum transmission speeds supported by RS-422-A and RS-423-A
circuits vary with cable length; the normal speed limits are 20K bls for RS-423-A and 2M bls for RS422-A, both at 61 m (200 feet).
Another major difference between RS-232-C and RS-449 is that additional leads are needed to support
the balanced interface circuits and some new circuit functions. Two new connectors have been specified
to accommodate these new leads. One connector is a 37-pin Cinch used in applications requiring secondary channel functions. Some of the new circuits added in RS-449 support local and remote loopback
testing, and stand-by channel selection.

NOTE
Vector address to be asserted is daisy-chain jumpered to W46.
NOTE
Table 2-1 shows the recommended normal and alternate jumpering schemes. Any deviation from these
will cause diagnostics to fail and require restrapping
for full testing and verification. It is recommended
that customer configurations that vary from this
scheme not be contractually supported.
Prior to installing the DPV 11, perform the following tasks.
1.

Verify that the following modem interface wire-wrap jumpers are installed (Figure 2-1).
W26 to W25 to W24 to W28 to W27
W22 to W23 and WI9 to W2I
WI8 to W20

WI to W2
This is the normal/RS-423-A shipped configuration. Some of these jumpers may be changed
. when the module is connected to external equipment for a specific application. The NULL
MODEM eLK is set to 2 kHz as shipped.

Based on the LSI-II bus floating vector scheme or user requirements, determine the vector
address for the specific DPVII module being installed and configure W40 through W46
accordingly (Table 2-2).

Based on the LSI-II bus floating address scheme or user requirements, determine the device
address range for the DPVll module and configure W30 through W39 accordingly (Table
2-3). Devices may be physically addressed starting at 160000 and continuing through
177776; however, there may be some software restrictions. The normal addressing convention is as shown in Table 2-3.

2.4 INSTALLATION
The DPVII can be installed in any LSI-II bus-compatible backplane such as H9270. LSI-II configuring rules must be followed. Proceed with the installation as follows. For additional information
refer to PDP-II/03 User Manual ~!<-LSIII-TM or LSI-II Installation Guide EK-LSIII-IG.
1.

Configure the address and vector jumpers at this time if they have not been previously done
(Paragraph 2.3).
WARNING
Turn all power OFF.

2-6

Connect the female Berg connector on the BC26L-25 cable to J 1 on the M8020 module t
and plug the module into a dual LSI-II bus slot of the backplane.

CAUTION
Insert and remove modules slowly and carefully to
avoid snagging module components on the card
guides.
3.

Connect the H3259t turn-around connector to the EIA connection on the BC26L-25 cable.
The jumper WI on the H3259 turn-around connector must be removed.

Perform resistance checks from backplane pin AA2 (+ 5 Y) to ground and from AD2 (+ 12
Y) to ground to ensure that there are no shorts on the M8020 module or backplane.

Turn system power on.

Check the voltages to ensure that they are within the specified tolerances (Table 2-4). If
voltages are not within specified tolerances, replace the associated regulator (H780 P.S.)

2.4.1 Verification of Hardware Operation
The M8020 module is now ready to be tested by running the CYDPY* diagnostic. Additional information on the DPVII diagnostics is contained in Appendix A. Proceed as follows.

NOTE
The • represents the revision level of the diagnostic.
1.

Load and run CVDPV·. Three consecutive error-free passes of this test is the minimum requirement for a successful run. If this cannot be achieved, check the following.
Board seating
Jumper connections
Cable connection
Test connector
If a successful run is still unachievable, corrective maintenance is required.

Load and run the DEC/XII System Exerciser configured to test the number of DPYlis in
the system.
Each DEC/XII CXDPV module will test up to eight consecutively addressed DPYlls.
CXDPY uses a software switch register. Refer to the DEC/Xii Cross-Reference (ASF055e-MC) for switch register utilization.

t If a BC26L-25 cable and H3259 tum-around connector are not available, an on-board test connector (H3260) can be ordered separately. See Paragraph 2.5.

2-7

The DEC/X 11 System Exerciser is designed to achieve maximum contention with all devices that make up the system configuration. It is within this environment that the CXDPY
module runs. Its intent is to isolate DPY 11 s which adversely affect the system operation.
For information on configuring and running the DEC/X 11 System Exerciser, refer to
DEC/X}} User Manual (AS-F0503B-MC) and DEC-X}} Cross Reference (AS-F055CMC).

2.4.2

Connection to External Equipment/Link Testing

The DPY 11 is now ready for connection to external equipment.

If the DPY 11 is being connected to a synchronous modem, remove the H3259 connector and install the
EIA connection of the BC26L-25 cable into the connector on the modem.
Configure jumpers WI-W28 in accordance with operating requirements (Table 2-1).
Load and run DCLT (CYCLH*) if a full link is available. This will check the final configuration and
isolate failures to the CPU, the communications link, or the modem.

If the connection to external equipment uses RS-422-A, the user must provide the cable and test support.

2.5

TEST CONNECfORS

The only test connector provided with the DPY 11 is the H3259 turn-around connector (Figure 2-2).
Table 2-5 and Figure 2-3 show the relationship between pin numbers, signal names and register bits
when the H3259 is connected by means of the BC26L-26 cable to the M8020 module.

CHAPTER 3
REGISTER DESCRIPTIONS
AND PROGRAMMING INFORMATION
3.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the bit assignments and programming considerations for the DPVll. Some typical start and receive sequences for both bit- and character-oriented protocols are included.
3.2 DPVll REGISTERS AND DEVICE ADDRESSFS
The five registers used in the DPVll are shown in Table 3-1. Note that two of the registers (PCSAR
and RDSR) have the same address. This does not constitute a conflict, however, because the PCSAR
is a write-only register and the RDSR is a read-only register. These five registers occupy eight contiguous byte addresses which begin on a boundary where the low-order three bits are zero, and can be
located anywhere between 1600008 and 1777768.

* Reading either byte of these registers, clears data and certain status bits in other bytes. See Paragraphs 3.3.1
and 3.3.2.

** Registers contained within the USYNRT.
t It is not possible to do bit set or bit clear instructions on this register.

+The high byte of this register is internal to the USYNRT.

The DPVll uses a universal-synchronous receiver/transmitter (USYNRT) chip which accounts for a
large portion of the DPVll 's functionality. The USYNRT provides complete serialization, deserialization and buffering of data to and from the modem.
3-1

Most of the DPVll registers are internal to the USYNRT. Only the receiver control and status register (RXCSR) and the low byte of the parameter control and character length register (PCSCR) are
external.
NOTE
When using the special space sequence function, all
registers internal to the USYNRT must be written
in byte mode.
3.3 REGISTER BIT ASSIGNMENTS
Bit assignments for the five DPV 11 registers are shown in Figure 3-l. Paragraphs 3.3.1-3.3.5 provide a
description of each register using a bit assignment illustration and an accompanying table with a detailed description of each bit.
3.3.1 Receive Control and Status Register (RXCSR) (Address 16xxxO)
Figure 3-2 shows the format for the receive control and status register (RXCSR). Table 3-2 is a detailed description of the register. This register is external to the USYNRT.
NOTE
The RXCSR can be read in either word or byte
mode. However, reading either byte resets certain
status bits in both bytes.
3.3.2 Receive Data and Status Register (RDSR) (Address 16xxx2)
Figure 3-3 show the format for the receive data and status register (RDSR). It is a read-only register
and shares its address with the parameter control sync/address register (PCSAR) which is write-only.
Table 3-3 is a detailed description of the RDSR.
NOTE
The RDSR can be read in either word or byte mode.
However, reading either byte resets data and certain
status bits in botb bytes of tbis register as well as
bits 7 and 10 of the RXCSR.
3.3.3 Parameter Control Sync/Address Register (PCSAR) (Address 16xxx2)
The parameter control sync/address register (PCSAR) is a write-only register which can be written in
either byte or word mode. Figure 3-4 shows the format and Table 3-4 is a detailed description of the
PCSAR. This register shares its address with the RDSR.
NOTE
Bit set (BIS) and bit clear (BIC) instructions cannot be executed on the PCSCR, since they execute
using a read-modify-write sequence.
3.3.4 Parameter Control and Character Length Register (PCSCR) (Address 16xxx4)
The parameter control and character length register (PCSCR) can be read from or written into in
either word or byte mode. The low byte of this register is external to the USYNRT and the high byte is
internal. Figure 3-5 shows the format and Table 3-5 is a detailed description of the PCSCR.
3.3.5 Transmit Data and Status Register (TDSR) (Address 16xxx6)
The format for the transmit data and status register (TDSR) is shown in Figure 3-6 and Table 3-6 is a
detailed description. The TDSR is a read/write register which can be accessed in either word or byte
mode with no restrictions. All bits can be read from or written into and are reset by Device Reset or
Bus INIT except where noted.

Name

Description

Data Set Change
(DSCNG)

This bit is set when a transition occurs on any of the following
modem control lines:
Clear to Send
Data Mode
Receiver Ready
Incoming Call
Transition detectors for each of these four lines can be disabled
by removing the associated jumper.
Data Set Change is cleared by reading either byte of the
RXCSR or by Device Reset or Bus INIT.
Data Set Change causes a receive interrupt if DSITEN (bit 5)
and RXITEN (bit 6) are both set.

Incoming Call
(lC)

)'his bit reflects the state of the modem Incoming Call line. Any
transition of this bit causes Data Set Change bit (bit 15) to be
asserted unless the Incoming Call line is disabled by removing
its jumper. This bit is read-only and cannot be cleared by software.

Clear to Send
(CTS)

This bit reflects the state of the Clear to Send line of the
modem. Any transition of this line causes Data Set Change (bit
15) to be set unless the jumper enabling the Clear to Send signal
is removed.
Clear to Send is a program read-only bit and cannot be cleared
by software.

Receiver Ready
(RR)

This bit is a direct reflection of modem Receiver Ready lead. It
indicates that the modem is receiving a carrier signal. For external maintenance loop back, this signal must be high. If the line is
open, RR is pulled high by the circuitry.
Any transition of this bit ,causes Data Set Change (bit 15) to be
asserted unless the jumper enabling the Receiver Ready signal
is removed.
Receiver Ready is a read-only bit and cannot be cleared by software.

Receiver Active
(RXACT)

This bit is set when the USYNRT presents the first character of
a message to the DPVIl. It remains set until the receive data
path of the USYNRT becomes idle.
Receiver Active is cleared by any of the following conditions: a
terminating control character is received in bit-oriented protocol
mode; an off transition of Receiver Enable (RXENA) occurs; or
Device Reset or Bus INIT is issued.

3-5

Table 3-2

Name

Description
Receiver Active is a read-only bit which reflects the state of the
USYNRT output pin 5.

Receiver Status
Ready (RSTARY)

This bit indicates the availability of status information in the
upper byte of the receive data and status register (RDSR). It is
set when any of the following bits of the RDSR are set: Receiver
End of Message (REOM); Receiver Overrun (RCV OVRUN);
Receiver Abort or Go Ahead (RABORT); Error Check
(ERRCHK) if VRC is selected.
Receiver Status is cleared by any of the following conditions:
reading either byte of the RDSR; clearing Receiver Enable (bit
4 of RXCSR); Device Reset, or Bus Init.
When set, Receiver Status Ready causes a receive interrupt if
Receive Interrupt Enable (bit 6) is also set.
Receiver Status Ready is a read-only bit which reflects the state
of USYNRT pin 7.

Data Mode (DM)
(Data Set Ready)

This bit reflects the state of the Data Mode signal from the
modem.
When this bit is set it indicates that the modem is powered on
and not in test, talk or dial mode.
Any transition of this bit causes the Data Set Change bit (bit
15) to be asserted unless the Data Mode jumper has been removed.
Data Mode is a read-only"bit and cannot be cleared by software.

Sync or Flag
Detect (SFD)

This bit is set for one clock time when a flag character is detected with bit-oriented protocols, or a sync character is detected with character-oriented protocols.
SFD is a read-only bit which reflects the state of USYNRT pin
4.

Receive Data
Ready (RDA TRY)

This bit indicates that the USYNRT has assembled a data character and is ready to present it to the processor.
If this bit becomes set while Receiver Interrupt Enable (bit 6) is
set, a receive interrupt request will result.
Receive Data Ready is reset when either byte of RDSR is read,
Receiver Enable (bit 4) is cleared, or Device Reset or Bus INIT
is issued.
RDATRY is a read-only bit which reflectes the state of USYNRT pin 6.

Bit

Name

Description

Receiver Interrupt
Enable (RXITEN)

When set, this bit allows interrupt requests to be made to the
receiver vector whenever RDATR Y (bit 7) becomes set.
The conditions which cause the interrupt request are the assertion of Receive Data Ready (bit 7), Receive Status Ready (bit
10), or Data Set Change (bit 15) if DSITEN (bit 5) is also set.
RXITEN is a program read/write bit and is cleared by Device
Reset or Bus INIT.

Data Set Interrupt
Enable (DSITEN)

This bit, when set along with RXITEN, allows interrupt
requests to be made to the receiver vector whenever Data Set
Change (bit 15) becomes set.
DSITEN is a program read/write bit and is cleared by Device
Reset or Bus INIT.

Receiver Enable
(RXENA)

This bit controls the operation of the receive section of the USYNRT.
When this bit is set, the receive section of the USYNRT is enabled. When it is reset the receive section is disabled.
In addition to disabling the receive section of the USYNRT, resetting bit 4 reinitializes all but two of the USYNRT receive
registers. The two registers not reinitialized are the character
length selection buffer and the parameter control register.

Local Loopback
(LL)

Asserting this bit causes the modem connected to the DPVll to
establish a data loopback test condition.
Clearing this bit restores normal modem operation.
Local Loopback is program read/write and is cleared by Device
Reset or Bus request to Send is program read/write and is
cleared by Device Reset or Bus INIT.

Request to Send
(RTS)

Setting this bit asserts the Request to Send signal at the modem
interface.
Request to Send is program read/write and is cleared by Device
Reset or Bus INIT.

Terminal Ready (TR)
(Data Terminal
Ready)

When set, this bit asserts the Terminal Ready signal to the
modem interface.
For auto dial and manual call origination, it maintains the established call. For auto answer t it allows handshaking in response to
a Ring signal.

Select Frequency
or Remote
Loopback (SF /RL)

This bit can be wire-wrap jumpered to function as either select
frequency or remote loopback. When jumpered as select frequency (W3 to W4), setting this bit selects the modem's higher
frequency band for transmission to the line and the lower frequency band for reception from the line. The clear condition selects the lower frequency for transmission and the higher frequency for reception.
When jumpered for remote loopback (W5 to W3), this bit, when
asserted, causes the modem connected to the DPV 11 to signal
when a remote loopback test condition has been established in
the remote modem.
SF /RL is program read/write and is cleared by Device Reset or

Error Check
(ERR CHK)

This bit when set, indicates a possible error. It is used in conjunction with the error detection selection bits of the parameter
control sync/address register (bits 8-10) to indicate either an
error or an all zeros state of the CRC register.
With bit-oriented protocols, ERR CHK indicates that a CRC
error has occurred. It is set when the Receive End of Message
bit (RDSR bit 9) is set.
With character-oriented protocols ERR CHK is asserted with
each data character if all zeros are in the CRC register. The
processor must then determine if this indicates an error-free

Receiver Overrun
(RCV OVRUN)

This bit is used to indicate that an overrun situation has occurred. Overrun exists when the data buffer (bits 0-7 of RDSR)
has not been serviced within one character time.
As a general rule, the overrun is indicated when the last bit of
the current character has been received into the shift register of
the USYNRT and the data buffer is not yet available for a new
character.
Two factors exist which modify this general rule and apply only
to bit-oriented protocols.
The first factor is the number of bits inserted into the data
stream for transparency. For each bit inserted during the formatting of the current character, the controller's maximum response time is increased by one clock cycle.
The second factor is the result of termination of the current
message. When this occurs, the data of the terminated message
which is within the USYNRT is not overrunable. If an attempt
is made to displace this data by the reception of a subsequent
message. the data of the subsequent message is lost until the
data of the prior message has been released.

Bit

Name

Description

Recei ver A bort or

This bit is used only with bit-oriented protocols and indicates
that either an abort character or a go-ahead character has been
received. This is determined by the Loop Mode bit (PCSAR bit
13). If the Loop Mode bit is clear, RABORT indicates reception
of an abort character. If the Loop Mode bit is set, RABORT
indicates a go-ahead character has been received.

Go Ahead (RABORT) I

The setting of RABORT causes Receiver Status Ready (bit 10
of RXCSR) to be set.
RABORT is reset when the RDSR is read or when Receiver Enable (bit 4 of RXCSR) is reset.
The abort character is defined to be seven or more contiguous
one bits appearing in the data stream. Reception of this bit pattern when Loop t\1ode is clear causes the receive section of the
USYNRT to stop receiving and set RSTARY (bit 10 of
RXCSR). The abort character indicates abnormal termination
of the current message.
The go-ahead character is defined as a zero bit followed by seven consecutive one bits. This character is recognized as a normal
terminating control character when the Loop Mode bit is set. If
Loop Mode is cleared this character is interpreted as an abort
character.
9

Receiver End of
Message (REOM)

This bit is used only with bi t-oriented protocols and is asserted if
Receiver Active (bit 11 of RXCSR) is set and a message is terminated either normally or abnormally. When REOM becomes
set, it sets RSTARY (bit 10 of RXCSR).
REOM is cleared when RDSR is read or when Receive Enable
(bit 4 of RXCSR) is reset.

7-0

Receiver Start of
Message (RSOM)

Receive Data
Buffer

Used only with bit-oriented protocols. This bit is presented to
the processor along with the first data character of a message
and is synchronized to tbe last received flag character. Setting
of RSOM does not set RST AR Y (RXCSR bit 10).
RSOM is cleared by Device Reset, Bus I N IT, resetting Receiver Enable (RXCSR bit 4), or the next transfer into the Receive Data buffer (low byte of RDSR).
The low byte of the RDSR is the Receive Data buffer. The serial data input to the USYNRT is assembled and transferred to
the low byte of the RDSR for presentation to the processor.
When the RDSR receives data, Receive Data Ready (bit 7 of
RXCSR) becomes set to indicate that the RDSR has data to be
picked up. If this data is not read within one character time, a
data overrun occurs.
The characters in the Receive Data buffer are right-justified
with bit 0 being the least significant bit.

Name

Description

All Parties
Addressed (APA)

This bit is set when automatic recognition of the All Parties Addressed character is desired. The All Parties Addressed character is eight bits of ones with necessary bit stuffing so as not to be
confused with the abort character.
Recognition of this character is done in the same way as the secondary station address (see bit 12 of this register) except that
the broadcast address is essentially hardwired within the receive
data path. The logic inspects the address character of each
frame for the broadcast address. When the broadcast address is
recognized, the USYNRT makes it available and sets Receiver
Start of Message (bit 8 of RDSR).

If the broadcast address is not recognized, one of two possible
actions occurs.
1. If the Secondary Address Select mode bit (bit 12) is set, a
test of the secondary station address is made.
2. If bit 12 is not set or the secondary station address is not
recognized, the receive section of the USYNRT renews its
search for synchronizing control characters.

Protocol Select
(PROT SEL)

This bit is used to select between character- and byte count-oriented or bit-oriented protocols. It is set for character- and byte
count-oriented protocols and reset for bit-oriented protocols.

Strip Sync or
Loop Mode
(STRIP SYNC)

This bit serves the following two functions.
1. Strip Sync (character-oriented protocols) - In character-oriented protocols, all sync characters after the initial synchronization are deleted from the message and not included in the
CRC computation if this bit is set. If it is cleared, all sync characters rem1in in the me~sage and are included in the CRC computation.

Description
2. Loop Mode (bit-oriented protocols) - With bit-oriented protocols, this bit is used to control the method of termination. If it
is set, either a flag or go-ahead character can cause a normal
termination of a message. If it is cleared, only a flag character
can cause a normal termination.

Secondary
Address Mode
(SEC ADR MDE)

This bit is used with bit-oriented protocols when automatic recognition of the secondary station address is desired. If it is set,
the station address of the incoming message is compared with
the address stored in the low byte of this register. Only messages
prefixed with the correct secondary address are presented to the
processor. If the addresses do not compare, the receive section
of the USYNRT goes back to searching for flag or go-ahead
characters.
When SEC ADR rvlDE is cleared, the receive section of the
USYNRT recognizes all incoming messages.

Idle Mode Select
(IDLE)

This bit is used with both bit- and character-oriented protocols.
With bit-oriented protocols, IDLE is used to select the type of
control character issued when either Transmit Abort (bit 10 of
TDSR) is set or a data underrun error occurs. If IDLE is set,
flag characters are issued. If IDLE is clear, abort characters are
issued.
With character-oriented protocols, IDLE is used to control the
method in which initial sync characters are transmitted and the
action of the transmit section of the USYNRT when an underrun error occurs. IDLE is cleared to cause sync characters from
the low byte of PCSAR to be transmitted. When IDLE is set,
the transmit data output is held asserted during an underrun error and at the end of a message.

Error Detection
Selection
(ERR DEL SEL)

These bits are used to determine the type of error detection used
on received and transmitted messages. In bit-oriented protocols,
the selection is independent of character length. In characterand byte count-oriented protocols, CRC error detection is usable only with 8-bit character lengths. The maximum character
length for VRC is seven. The bits are encoded as follows.

These bits can be changed while the transmitter is active, in
which case the new character length is assumed at the completion of the current character. This field is set to a character
length of eight by Device Reset or Bus INIT. When VRC error
detection is selected, the default character length is eight bits
plus parity.
12

Extended Address
Field (EXADD)

This bit is used with bit-oriented protocols and affects the address portion of a message in receiver operations. When it is set,
each address byte is tested for a one in the least significant bit
position. If the least significant bit is zero, the next character is
an extension of the address field. If the least significant bit is
one, the current character terminates the address field and the
next character is a control character.
EXADD is not used with Secondary Address Mode (bit 12 of
PCSAR).
EXADD is read/write and is reset by Device Reset or Bus
INIT.

Extended Control

Transmit Interrupt
Enable (TXINTEN)

When set, this bit allows a transmitter interrupt request to be
made to the transmitter vector when Transmit Buffer Empty
(TBEMTY) is asserted. Transmit Interrupt Enable (TXINTEN) is read/write and is cleared by Device Reset or Bus
INIT.

Signal Quality or
Test Mode (SQ/TM)

This bit can be wire-wrap jumpered to function as either Signal
Quality or Test Mode.
When jumpered for signal quality (W5 to W6), this bit reflects
the state of the signal quality line from the modem. When asserted, it indicates that there is a low probabiiity of errors in the
received data. When clear it indicates that there is a high probability of errors in the received data.

Description
When jumpered for the test mode (W6 to W7), this bit indicates
that the modem has been placed in a test condition when asserted. The modem test condition could be established by asserting Local Loopback (bit 3 of RXCSR), Remote Loopback (bit 0
of RXCSR) .or other means external to the DPVII.
When SQ/TM is clear, it indicates that the modem is not in test
mode and is available for normal operation.
SQ/TM is program read-only and cannot be cleared by software.

Transmitter
Enable (TXENA)

This bit must be set to initiate the transmission of data or control information. When this bit is cleared, the transmitter will
revert back to the mark state once all indicated sequences have
been completed. TXENA should be cleared after the last data
character has been loaded into the transmit data and status register (TDSR). Transmit End of Message (bit 9 of TDSR) should
be asserted when TXENA is reset (if it is to be asserted at all)
and remain asserted until the transmitter enters the idle mode.
TXENA is connected directly to USYNRT pin 37. It IS a
read/write bit and is reset by Device Reset or Bus IN IT.

Maintenance Mode
Select (MM SEL)

When this bit is asserted, it causes the USYNRT's serial output
to be internally connected to the USYNRT's serial input. The
serial send data output line from the interface is asserted and
the receive data serial input is disabled. Send timing and receive
timing to the USYNRT are disabled and replaced with a clock
signal generated on the interface. The clock rate is either
49.152K b / s or 1. 9661 K b / s depending on the position of a
jumper on the interface board.
Maintenance mode allows diagnostics to run in loopback without disconnecting the modem cable.
MM SEL is a read/write bit and is cleared by Device Reset or
Bus INIT. When it is cleared, the interface is set for normal operation.

Transmitter Buffer
Empty (TBEMTY)

This bit is asserted when the transmit data and status register
(TDSR) is available for new data or control information. It is
also set after a Device Reset or Bus INIT.
The TDSR should be loaded only in response to TBEMTY
being set. When the TDSR is written into, TBEMTY is cleared.

If TBEMTY becomes set while Transmit Interrupt Enable (bit
6 of PCSCR) is set, a transmit interrupt request results.
TBEMTY reflects the state of USYNRT pin 35.

Transmitter
Active (TXACT)

This bit indicates the state of the transmit section of. the USYNRT. It becomes set when the first character of data or control information is transmitted.
TXACT is cleared when the transmitter has nothing to send or
when Device Reset or Bus INIT is issued.
TXACT reflects the state of USYNRT pin 34.

When a one is written to this bit all components of the interface
are initialized. It performs the same function as Bus INIT with
respect to this interface. Modem Status (Data Mode, Clear to
Send, Receiver Ready, Incoming Call, Signal Quality or Test
Mode) is not affected. RESET is write-only; it cannot be read

Transmitter
Error (TERR)

This is a read-only bit which becomes asserted when the Transmitter Buffer Empty (TBEMTY) indication has not been serviced for more than one character time.
When TERR occurs in bit-oriented protocols, the transmit section of the USYNRT generates an abort or flag character based
on the state of the IDLE bit (PCSAR bit 11). If IDLE is set, a
flag character is sent. If it is reset, an abort character is sent.
When TERR occurs in character-oriented protocols, the state of
the IDLE bit again determines the result. If IDLE is set, the
tiansmit serial output is held in the ~IARK ~undition. if it is
cleared, a sync character is transmitted.

Transmit Go
Ahead (TGA)

This bit, when asserted, modifies the bit pattern of the control
character initiated by either Transmit Start of Message
(TSOM) or Transmit End of Message (TEOM). TSOM or
TEOM normally causes a flag character to be sent. If TGA is
set, a go-ahead character is sent in place of the flag character.
TGA is only used with bit-oriented protocols.

Transmit
Abort (TXABORT)

This bit is used only with bit-oriented protocols to abnormally
terminate a message or to transmit filler information used to establish data link timing.
When TXABORT is asserted, the transmitter automatically
transmits either flag or abort characters depending on the state
of the IDLE mode bit. If IDLE is cleared, abort characters are
sent. If IDLE is set, flag characters are sent.

Transmit End of
Message (TEOM)

This control bit is used to normally terminate a message in bitoriented protocol. It also terminates a message in character-oriented protocols when CRC error detection is used. As a secondary function, it is used in conjunction with the Transmit Start of
Message (TSOM) bit to transmit a SPACE SEQUENCE. Refer to the TSOM bit description (bit 8 of this register) for information regarding this sequence.
With bit-oriented protocols, asserting this bit causes the eRC
information to be transmitted, if CRe is enabled, followed by
flag or go-ahead characters depending on the state of the Transmit Go Ahead (TGA) bit. See bit 11 of this register.
With character-oriented protocols, asserting this bit causes
CRC information, if eRe is enabled, to be transmitted followed
by either sync characters or a MARK condition depending on
the state of the IDLE bit. If IDLE is cleared, sync characters
are transmitted.
The character following the eRe information is repeated until
the transmitter is disabled or the TEOM bit is cleared.
A subsequent message may be initiated while the transmit section of the USYNRT is active. This is accomplished by clearing
the TEOM bit and supplying new message data without setting

Description
the Transmit Start Of Message bit. However, the CRC character for the prior message must have completed transmission.

Transmit Start
of Message
(TSOM)

This bit is used with either bit- or character-oriented protocols.
As long as it remains asserted, flag characters (bit-oriented protocols) or sync characters (character-oriented protocols) are
transmitted.
With bit-oriented protocols, a space sequence (byte mode only)
of 16 zero bits can be transmitted by asserting TSO M and
TEOM simultaneously provided the transmitter is in the idle
state and Transmit Enable is cleared. This should not be done
during the transfer of data, and must only be done in byte mode.
NOTE
When using the special space sequence function, all registers internal to the USYNRT must be written in byte mode.
Normally at the completion of each sync, flag, go-ahead or
Abort character, the TBEMTY indication is asserted. This allows the software to count the number of transmitted characters. In certain applications, the software may elect to ignore the
service of the Transmitter Buffer Empty (TBEMTY) indication.
Normally during data transfers, this would cause a transmit
data late error. The TSOM bit asserted suppresses this error
and provides the necessary synchronization to automatically
transmit another flag, go-ahead or sync character.

7-D

Transmit Data
Buffer

Data from the processor to be transmitted on the serial output
line is loaded into this byte of the TDSR when Transmitter Buffer Empty (TBEMTY) is asserted. If the transmitter buffer is
not loaded within one character time, an underrun error occurs.
The characters are right-justified, with bit 0 being the least significant bit.

3.4 DATA TRANSFERS
Paragraphs 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 discuss receive and transmit -data transfers as they relate to the system
software.
3.4.1 'Receive Data
Serial data to be presented to the DPVll from the modem enters the receiver circuit and is presented
to the USYNRT. Recognition by the USYNRT of a control character initiates the transfer. When a
transfer has been initiated, a character is assembled by the USYNRT and then placed in the low byte
of the receive data and status register (RDSR) when it is available. If the RDSR is not available, the
transfer is delayed until the previous character has been serviced. This must take place before the next
character is fuBy assembied or an uverrun error exists. Refer tu the dt;S(;ription uf bit i i in Table 3-3
for more details on Receiver Overrun.

3-19

Servicing of the RDSR is the responsibility of the system software in response to the Receive Data
Ready (RDATRY) signal. This signal is asserted when a character has been transferred to the RDSR.
The setting of RDATRY would also cause a receive interrupt request if Receive Interrupt Enable
(RXITEN) is set. The software's response to RDATRY is to read the contents of the RDSR. At the
completion of this operation, the new information is loaded into the RDSR and RDA TR Y is reasserted. This operation continues until terminated by some control character. The upper byte of the
RDSR contains status and error indications which the software can also read.
The DPV 11 will handle data in bit-, byte count- or character-oriented protocols.
With bit-oriented protocol, only flag characters are used to initiate the transfer of a message. Information inserted into the data stream for transparency or control is deleted before it is pre~ented to the
RDSR. This means that only data characters are available to the software. The first two characters of
every message or frame are defined to be 8-bit characters and the USYNRT will handle them as such
regardless of the programmed character length. All subsequent data is formatted in the selected character length. When CRC error detection is selected, the received CRC check characters are not presented to the software, but the error indication will be presented if an error has been detected.

If the secondary address mode is implemented, the first received data character must be the selected
address. If this is not the case, the USYNRT will renew its search for flag or go-ahead characters.
Refer to the description of bit 12 of the PCSAR in Table 3-4.
With byte count- or character-oriented protocols, two consecutive sync characters are required to synchronize the transfer of data. The sync characters used in the message must be the same as the sync
character loaded by the software into the low byte of the parameter control sync/address register
(PCSAR). If leading sync characters subsequent to the initial two syncs are to be deleted from the
data stream, the Strip Sync bit (bit 13) must also be set in the upper byte of the PCSAR. The character length of the data to be received should also be set in bits 8, 9, and 10 of the parameter control and
character length register (PCSCR). Sync characters and data must have the same character length
and only characters of the selected length will be presented to the receive buffer. Sync characters
following the initial two will be presented to the buffer and included in the CRC computation unless
the Strip Sync bit is set. If vertical redundancy check (VRC) parity checking is selected, the parity bit
itself is deleted from the character before it is presented to the buffer.
3.4.2 Transmit Data
System software loads information to be transmitted to the modem into the transmit data and status
register (TDSR). This does not ordinarily include error detection or control character information.
Loading of the TDSR occurs in response to the Transmitter Buffer Empty (TBEMTY) signal from the
USYNRT. The character length of information to be transmitted is established by the software when
it loads the transmit character length register (bits 13, 14, and 15 of the PCSCR). The default length
of eight is assigned when the transmit character length register equals zero. The length of characters
presented to the TDSR should not exceed the assigned character length. When the information in the
TDSR is transmitted, the TBEMTY signal is again asserted to request another character. The setting
of TBEMTY also causes a transmit interrupt request if Transmit Interrupt Enable is set.
Byte count- or character-oriented protocols require the transmission of synchronizing information normally referred to as sync characters. The sync characters can be transmitted when Transmit Start of
Message (TDSR bit 8) is set. This happens in one of two ways depending on the state of the IDLE bit
(PCSAR bit 11). When the IDLE bit is cleared, the sync character is taken directly from the common
sync register (PCSAR bits 7-0). The sync register would have been previously loaded by the software.
If the IDLE bit is set, the sync character must be loaded into the TDSR by the software when it is to
be transmitted. If multiple sync characters are to be transmitted, the TDSR must only be loaded with
the first one of the sequence. This character will be transmitted until data information is loaded into
the TDSR. The TBEMTY signal is asserted at the end of each sync character but the TSOM signal
allows it to be ignored without causing a data late error.
3-20

With bit-oriented protocols, the USYNRT automatically generates control characters as initiated by
the software and inserts necessary information into the data stream to maintain transparency.
Typical programming examples in bit- and byte count-oriented protocols appear in Appendix D.

3.5 INTERRUPT VECfORS
The DPVll generates two vector addresses, one for receive data and modem control and the other for
transmit data.
The receive and modem control interrupt has priority over the transmit interrupt and is enabled by
setting bit 6 (RXITEN) of the receiver control and status register (RXCSR).

If bit 6 of the RXCSR is set, a receiver interrupt may occur when anyone of the following signals is
asserted.
•
•
•

Receive Data Ready (RDATRY)
Receive Status Ready (RSTAR Y)
Data Set Change (DAT SET CH)

The signal DAT SET CH only causes an interrupt if bit 5 (DSITEN) of the RXCSR is also set.
It is possible that a data set change interrupt could be pending while a receiver interrupt is being
serviced, or the opposite could be tiue. In either case, the hardware ensures that both interrupt
requests are recognized.

NOTE
The modem status change circuit interprets any
pulse of two microseconds or greater duration as a
data set change. This ensures that all legitimate
transitions of modem status will be detected. However, on a poor line, noise may be interpreted as a
data set change. Software written for the DPVll
must account for this possibility.
A transmitter interrupt request occurs if Transmit Interrupt Enable (TXINTEN) is set when Transmit
Buffer Empty (TBEMTY) becomes asserted.

DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
UNIT IS DPV 11
DR>
DR> is the prompt for the diagnostic supervisor routine. At this point a supervisor command must be
entered (the supervisor commands are listed in Paragraph A.4).
Fi\'e Steps to Run a Supenisor Diagnostic
1.

Enter Start command.
When the prompt DR> is issued, type:
STA/PASS:I/FLAGS:HOE <CR>
The switches and flags are optional.

Enter number of units to be tested.
The program responds to the Start command with:

# UNITS?
At this point enter the number of devices to be tested.

A-2

Answer hardware parameter questions.
After the number of devices to be tested has been entered, the program responds by asking a
number of hardware questions. The answers to these questions are used to build hardware
parameter tables in memory. A series of questions is posed for each device to be tested. A
"Hardware P-Table" is built for each device.

Answer software parameter questions.
When all the "Hardware P-Tables" are built, the program responds with:
CHANGESW?
If other than the default parameters are desired for the software, type Y. If the default parameters are desired, type N.
If you type Y, a series of software questions will be asked and the answers to these will be
entered into the "Software P-Table" in memory. The software questions will be asked only
once, regardless of the number of units to be tested.

Diagnostic execution.
After the software questions have been answered, the diagnostic begins to run.
What happens next is determined by the switch options selected with the Start command, or
errors occurring during execution of the diagnostic.

A.4 SUPERVISOR COMMANDS
The supervisor commands that may be issued in response to the DR> prompt are as follows.
•

Start - Starts a diagnostic program.

•

Restart - When a diagnostic has stopped and control is given back to the supervisor, this
command restarts the program from the beginning.

•

Continue - Allows a diagnostic to continue running from where it was stopped.

•

Proceed - Causes the diagnostic to resume with the next test after the one in which it halted.

•

Exit - Transfers control to the XXDP+ monitor.

•

Drop - Drops units specified until an Add or Start command is given.

•

Add - Adds units specified. These units must have been previously dropped.

•

Print - Prints out statistics if available.

•

Display - Displays P-Tables.

•

Flags - Used to change flags.

•

ZFLAGS - Clears flags.

All of the supervisor commands except Exit, Print, Flags, and ZFLAGS can be used with switch options.
A-3

A.4.1 Command Switches
Switch options may be used with most supervisor commands. The available switches and their function
are as follows.
•

.jTESTS: - Used to specify the tests to be run (the default is all tests). An example of the
tests switch used with the Start command to run tests 1 through 5, 19, and 34 through 38
would be:
DR> START/TESTS: 1-5 : 19 : 34-38 <CR>

•

./PASS: - Used to specify the number of passes for the diagnostic to run. For example:
DR> START/PASS: 1
In this example, the diagnostic would complete one pass and give control back to the supervisor.

•

./EOP: - Used to specify how many passes of the diagnostic will occur before the end of pass
message is printed (the default is one).

•

.jUNITS: - Used to specify the units to be run. This switch is valid only if N was entered in
response to the CHANGE HW? question.

•

.jFLAGS: - Used to check for conditions and modify program execution accordingly. The
conditions checked for are as follows.
:HOE -Halt an error (transfers control back to the supervisor)
:LOE - Loop on error
:IER - Inhibit error reports
:IBE - Inhibit basic error information
:IXE - Inhibit extended error information
:PRI - Print errors on line printer
:PNT - Print the number of the test being executed prior to execution
:BOE - Ring bell on error
:UAM - Run in unattended mode, bypass manual intervention tests
:ISR - Inhibit statistical reports
:IOU - Inhibit dropping of units by program

A.4.2 Control/Escape Characters Supported
The keyboard functions supported by the diagnostic supervisor are as follows.
•

CONTROL C (TC) - Returns control to the supervisor. The DR> prompt would be typed in
response to CONTROL C. This function can be typed at any time.

A-4

•

CONTROL Z (TZ) - Used during hardware or software dialogue to terminate the dialogue
and select default values.

•

CONTROL 0 (TO) - Disables all printouts. This is valid only during a printout.

•

CONTROL S (TS) - Used during a printout to temporarily freeze the printout.

•

CONTROL Q (TQ) - Resumes a printout after a CONTROL S.

A.S THE SETUP UTILITY
Setup is a utility program that allows the operator to create parameters for a supervisor diagnostic
prior to execution. This is valid for either XXDP+ or ACT/SLIDE environments. Setup asks the
hardware and software questions and builds the P-Tables.
The following commands are available under Setup.
List - list supervisor diagnostics
Setup - create P-Tables
Exit - return control to the supervisor
The format for the List command is:
LIST DDN:FILE.EXT

USYNRT DESCRIPTION

5025 Unil'ersai Synchronous Recehet /Ttafismittet (USYNRT)
The data paths of the USYNRT provide complete serialization, deserialization and buffering. Output
signals are provided to the USYNRT controller to indicate the ~tate of the data paths, the commandfields or recognition of extended address fields. These tasks must be performed by the USYNRT controller.

The USYNRT is a 40-pin dual-in-line package (DIP). Figure B-1 is a terminal connection (identification) diagram.

Data port bits DP07:DPOO are dedicated to service four 8-bit wide registers. Bits DPI5:DP08 service
either control information or status registers. The PCSCR register is reserved. (See Figure B-2.)
Purchase Specification 2112517-0-0 provides a detailed description of the 5025 USYNRT.

APPENDIX C
IC DESCRIPTIONS
C.I GENERAL
This appendix contains data on the LSI-II chips and some of the unusual ICs used by the DPV11. The
other ICs are common, widely-used logic devices. Detailed specifications on these chips are readily
available, and hence are not included here.
C.2 DCOO3 INTERRUPT CHIP
The interrupt chip is an I8-pin DIP device. It provides the circuits to perform an interrupt transaction
in a computer system that uses a "pass-the-pulse" type arbitration scheme. The device provides two
interrupt channels labeled A and B, with the A section at a higher priority than the B section. Bus
signals use high-impedance input circuits or high-drive open-collector outputs, which allow the device
to directly attach to the computer system bus. Maximum current required from the Vee supply is 140
rnA.

Figure C-l is a simplified logic diagram of the DC003 IC. Table C-l describes the signals and pins of
the DC003.

DC003 Pin/Signal Descriptions

Signal

Description

VECTOR H

Interrupt Vector Gating Signal - This signal gates the appropriate vector address onto the bus and forms the bus signal
BRPLY L. Not used in the DPVl1.

VEC RQSTB H

Vector Request B Signal - When asserted, this signal indicates
RQST B service vector address is required. When negated, it
indicates RQST A service vector address is required. VECTOR
H is the gating signal for the entire vector address; VEC RQST
B H is normally bit 2 of the address.

BDIN L

Bus Data In - THE BDIN signal always precedes a BIAK signal.

INITO L

Initialize Out - This is the buffered BIN IT L signal used in the
device interface for general initialization.

BINIT L

Bus Initialize - When asserted, this signal brings all drive lines
to their negated state (except INITO L).

BIAKO L

Bus Interrupt Acknowledge - This signal is the daisy-chained
signal that is passed by all devices not requesting interrupt service (see BIAKI L). Once passed by a device, it must remain
passed until a new BAIKI L is generated.

BIAKI L

Bus Interrupt Acknowledge - This signal is the processor's response to BIRQ L true. This signal is daisy-chained such that
the first requesting device blocks the signal propagation while
nonrequesting devices pass the signal on as BIAKO L to the
next device in the chain. The leading edge of BIAKI L causes
BIRQ L to be unasserted· by the requesting device.

BIRQ L

Asynchronous Bus Interrupt Request - The request is generated
by a true RQST signal along with the associated true Interrupt
Enable signal. The request is removed after the acceptance of
the BDIN L signal and on the leading edge of the BAIKI L signal, or the removal of the associated interrupt enable, or due to
the removal of the associated request signal.

17
10

RQSTA H
RQSTB H

Device Interrupt Request Signal - When asserted with the enable AjB flip-flop asserted, this signal causes the assertion of
BIRQ L on the bus. This signal line normally remains asserted
until the request is serviced.

16
II

ENA ST H
ENB ST H

Interrupt Enable - This signal indicates the state of the interrupt enable AjB internal flip-flop which is controlled by the signal line ENAjB DATA H and the ENAjB CLK H clock line.

ENA DATA H
ENB DATA H

Interrupt Enable Data - The level on this line, in conjunction
with the ENA/B CLK H signal, determines the state of the internal interrupt enable A flip-flop. The output of this flip-flop is
monitored by the ENA/B ST H signal.

14

ENA CLK H
ENB CLK H

C.3

DC004 PROTOCOL CHIP

The protocol chip is a 20-pin DIP device that functions as a register selector, providing the signals
necessary to control data flow into and out of up to four word registers (8 bytes). Bus signals can
directly attach to the device because receivers and drivers are provided on the chip. An RC delay
circuit is provided to slow the response of the peripheral interface to data transfer requests. The circuit
is designed such that if tight tolerance is not required, then only an external 1K X 20 percent resistor is
necessary. External RCs can be added to vary the delay. Maximum current required from the Vee
supply is 120 rnA.
Figure C-2 is a simplified logic diagram of the DC004 IC. Signal and pin definitions for the DC004
are shown in Table C-2.

C.4

DC005 BUS TRANSCEIVER CHIP

The 4-bit transceiver is a 20-pin DIP, low-power Schottky device for primary use in peripheral device
interfaces, functioning as a bidirectional buffer between a data bus and peripheral device logic. In
addition to the isolation function, the device also provides a comparison circuit for address selection
and a constant generator, useful for interrupt vector addresses. The bus I/O port provides high-impedance inputs and high-drive (70 rnA) open-collector outputs to allow direct connection to a computer's
data bus. On the peripheral device side, a bidirectional port is also provided, with standard TTL inputs
and 20 rnA tri-state drivers. Data on this port is the logical inversion of the data on the bus side.
Three address jumper inputs are used to compare against three bus inputs and to generate the signal
MATCH. The MATCH output is open-collector, which allows the output of several transceivers to be
wire-ANDed to form a composite address match signal. The address jumpers can also be put into a
third logical state that disconnects that jumper from the address match, allowing for "don't care" address bits. In addition to the three address jumper inputs, a fourth high-impedance input line is used to
enable / disable the MATCH output.
Three vector jumper inputs are used to generate a constant that can be passed to the computer bus.
The three inputs directly drive three of the bus lines, overriding the action of the control lines.
Two control signals are decoded to give three operational states: receive data, transmit data, and disable.

BDAL2 L
BDALIL
BDALO L

Bus Data Address Lines - These signals are latched at the assert
edge of BSYNC L. Lines 2 and 1 are decoded for the select outputs; line 0 is used for byte selection.

BWTBT L

Bus Write/Byte - While the BDOUT L input is asserted, this
signal indicates a byte or word operation: asserted = byte, unasserted = word. Decoded with BDOUT L and latched BDALO
L, BWTBT L is used to form OUTLB Land OUTHB L.

BSYNC L

Bus Synchronize - At the assert edge of this signal, address information is trapped in four latches. While unasserted, this signal disables all outputs except the vector term of BRPL Y L.

BDIN L

Bus Data In - This is a strobing signal to effect a data input
transaction. BDIN L generates BRPLY L through the delay circuit and INWD L.

BRPLY L

Bus Reply - This signal is generated through an RC delay by
VECTOR H, and strobed by BDIN L or DBOUT L, and
BSYNC L and latched ENB H.

BDOUT L

Bus Data Out - This is a stobing signal to effect a data output
transaction. Decoded with BWTBT Land BDALO, it is used to
form OUTLB Land OUTHB L. BDOUT L generates BRPLY
L through the delay circuit.
.

INWD

In Word - Used to gate (read) data from a selected register onk
the data bus. It is enabled by BSYNC L and strobed by BDIN
L.

OUTLB L
OUTHB L

Out Low Byte, Out High Byte - Used to load (write) data into
the lower, higher, or both bytes of a selected register. It is enabled by BSYNC L and the decode of BWTBT L and latched
BDALO L. It is strobed by BDOUT L.

SELO L
SEL2 L

SEL6 L

Select Lines - One of these four signals is true as a function of
BDAL2 Land BDALl L if ENB H is asserted at the assert
edge of BYSNC L. They indicate that a word register has been
selected for a data transaction. These signals never become asserted except at the assertion of BSYN L (then only if ENB H
is asserted at that time) and, once asserted, are not negated until
BSYNC L is negated.

RXCX

External Resistor Capacitor Node - This node is provided to
vary the delay between the BDIN L, BDOUT L, and VECTOR
H inputs and BRPLY L output. The external resistor should be
tied to Vee and the capacitor to ground. As an output, it is the
logical inversion of BRPL Y L.

Peripheral Device Data - These four tri-state lines carry the inverted received data from BUS (3:0) when the transceiver is in
the receive mode. When in transmit data mode, the data carried
on these lines is passed inverted to BUS (3:0). When in the disabled mode, these lines go open (high impedance). High = 1.

Vector Jumpers - These inputs, with internal pull-down resistors, directly drive BUS (3:1). A low or open on the jumper pin
causes an open condition on the corresponding BUS pin if
XMIT H is low. A high causes a one (low) to be transmitted on
the BUS pin. Note that BUS (j L is not controlled by any jumpr
input.

MENB L

Match Enable - A Iowan this line enabies the l\'1ATCH output.
A high forces rvfATCH low, overriding the match circuit.

MATCH H

Address ~1atch - When BUS (3: 1) matches with the state of JA
(3: 1) and MENB L is low, this output is open; othcrv\,'isc, it IS
low.

Address Jumpers - A strap to ground on these inputs allows a
match to occur with a one (low) on the corresponding BUS line:
an open allows a match with a zero (high); a strap to Vee disconnects the corresponding address bit from the comparison.

To avoid tri-state overlap conditions, an internai circuit delays
the change of modes between Transmit data mode, and delays
tri-state drivers on the OAT lines from enabling. This action is
independent of the disable mode.

GLOSSARY
Asynchronous Transmission
Transmission in which time intervals between transmitted characters may be of unequal length.
Transmission is controlled by start and stop elements at the beginning and end of each character.
Also called start-stop transmission.
BD!N
Data Input on the LSI-II bus.

BDOUT
Data Output on the LSI-II bus.
BIAKI
Interrupt Acknowledge.
Bit-Stuff Protocol
Zero insertion by the transmitter after any succession of five continuous ones designed for bitoriented protocols such as IBM's Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC).
Bits per Second (bjs)
Bit transfer rate per unit of time.
BIRQ
Interrupt Request priority level for LSI-II bus.
BRPLY
LSI-II Bus Reply. BRPLY is asserted in response to BDIN or BDOUT.
BSYNC
Synchronize - asserted by the bus master device to indicate that it has placed an address on the
bus.
Buffer
Storage device used to compensate for a difference in the rate of data flow when transmitting
.
data from one device to another.
BWTBT
Write Byte.

CelTI
Comite Consultatif Internationale de Telegraphie et Telephonie - An international consultative
committee that sets international communications usage standards.
Control and Status Registers (CSRs)
Communication of control and· status information is accomplished through these registers.

G-I

Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)
An error detection scheme in which the check character is generated by taking the remainder
after dividing all the serialized bits in a block of data by a predetermined binary number.
Data Link Escape (OLE)
A control character used exclusively to provide supplementary line control signals (control character sequences or OLE sequences). These are 2-character sequences where the first character is
OLE. The second character varies according to the function desired and the code used.
Data-Phone DIGITAL Senice (DDS)
A communicaitons service of the Bell System in which data is transmitted in digital rather than
analog form, thus eliminating the need for modems.
DIGIT AL Data Communications Protocol (DDCMP)
DIGITAL's standard communications protocol for character-oriented protocol.
Direct Memory Access (DMA)
Permits I/O transfer directly into or out of memory without passing through the processor's general registers.

equipment.
Full-Duplex (FOX)
Simultaneous 2-way independent transmission in both directions.
Field-Replaceable Unit (FRU)
Refers to a faulty unit not to be repaired in the field. UOlt is replaced with a good unit and faulty
unit is returned to predetermined location for repair.
Half-Duplex (HDX)
An alternate, one-way-at-a-time independent transmission.
LARS
Field Service Labor Activity Reporting System.
Non-Processor Request (NPR)
Direct memory access-type transfers, (see DMA).
Protocol
A formal set of conventions governing the format and relative timing of message exchange between two communicating processes.
RS-232-C
EIA standard single-ended interface levels to modem.
