Software Release

SW/1-SNA Version 13000

June 10, 1987

Part Number: 86-0016-00
Revision 06


TO:          CS/1-SNA Users

FROM:        Bridge Communications, Inc.

SUBJECT:     SW/1-SNA Version 13000

DATE:        June 10, 1987

Enclosed is the SW/1-SNA Version 13000 diskette.  This diskette
is your distribution copy and should only be used to copy the
system software onto a master diskette.  The master diskette may
then be used to update current working diskettes.  Before you
update your software, be sure that you are using EC/2 on the
CS/1-SNA.  SW/1-SNA Version 13000 no longer supports EC/1.

Updating Software

Bridge recommends the following procedure to update your system
to SW/1-SNA Version 13000 without losing clearinghouse names
(provided you are currently running SW/1-SNA Version 10000 or
later).  To perform the copy properly, the MCPU PROMs of your
CS/1 or CS/1-SNA should be revision 1B or later.

1.  Connect your terminal to the console port of the CS/1 or
CS/1-SNA.

2.  Insert the SW/1-SNA Version 13000 diskette in the disk
drive of the CS/1-SNA, then press the Reset switch.

3.  After the CS/1-SNA is finished booting, copy the software
from the distribution diskette onto your SW/1-SNA Version
10000 (or later) master diskette using the following
command:

> co p 0 25C <CR>

4.  The following message appears on your screen:

Insert master and hit return key Follow the message
instructions by pressing the return key.

5.  If the read completes successfully, the following messages
appear on your screen:

> Reading ...  OK > Insert copy #n and hit return key
Follow the instructions.  If the message "read  error"
appears instead of the message "OK", contact an authorized
Bridge service representative for assistance.

6.  Remove the SW/1-SNA Version 13000 diskette, insert the
SW/1-SNA Version 10000 (or later) diskette into the disk
drive, then press the return key.



7.  If the copy completes successfully, the following messages
appear on your screen:

> writing ...  verifying ...  OK > copy completed

8.  To copy the Sysgen program from the SW/1-SNA Version 13000
diskette to the SW/1-SNA Version 10000 (or later) diskette,
type the following command:

> co p 280 2b9 <CR>

9.  The system will prompt you for the master diskette.  Remove
the SW/1-SNA Version 10000 (or later) diskette and insert
the SW/1-SNA Version 13000 diskette in the disk drive.

10.  Repeat steps 5 through 7.

11.  Remove the diskette from the disk drive and label this
diskette "SW/1-SNA MASTER VERSION 13000".  Store the
distribution diskette in a safe place.

Operation Instructions

Refer to the Configuration Guide for detailed information on
system generation parameters and complete system generation
procedures.  For the parameters not included in the Configuration
Guide, refer to the SNA Support Guide.  After the installation
has been completed, boot the system diskette (SW/1-SNA Version
13000 diskette).  If a switched line is used, also dial the SDLC
line.  The CS/1-SNA is now ready for operation.

For easy operation, a network manager can define rotaries and
clearinghouse names on the CS/1-SNA in remote mode from a
terminal attached to a CS/1 or a CS/100.

New Features

The following features, which were not present in SW/1-SNA
Version 12000 or earlier, have been implemented in SW/1-SNA
Version 13000:

1.  It can operate with EtherTerm/3270 Version 14000 or later.

2.  The CS/1-SNA will synthesize an UNBIND command for an LU-LU
session if the session already exists when a positive
response is received.

3.  It now supports the Read Modified All 3270 command.



4.  On the SNA Emulation Level menu in the Sysgen program, a
new option "Negative FMD response if no connection" is
added.  The default value is Support.

Also, the Character set selection parameter has been
replaced by the EBCDIC/ASCII translation table parameter,
which is described in item 6 in this section.

The SNA Emulation Level menu is as follows:
SNA Emulation Level Menu

1. Negative Response selection              No Response

2. LU status Report type selection          LUSTAT

3. Host application logout support          SUPPORT

4. Negative FMD response if no connection   SUPPORT

5. Device Types

6. Default printers

7. Terminal emulation type

8. CS1-SNA banner message

9. EBCDIC/ASCII translation table

A. IBM3270 Terminal/Printer Model

Enter selection: The new option determines whether a
negative response is sent from the CS/1-SNA to the IBM host
when FM data is received by a terminal not connected to an
LU session.  This in turn determines whether a VTAMTM logon
screen will be displayed after connection.

The default value of this parameter is Support, which will
result in a negative response.  If you do not want the
CS/1-SNA to send the negative response, select option 4
from the menu, and then change the value of the parameter
to Nosupport.

5.  The following terminal types are now supported:

+ Tandem 653x

Table 1 describes the key correspondence between a
Tandem 653x terminal and a display station.

When you use the alternate VT220 keyboard mapping,
note the following:

1.  The terminal must be set up for VT200, seven-bit
Controls mode.  This can be selected from the VT220
General Set-Up menu.

2.  When you use the alternate VT220 keyboard mapping, you
should select item 17 from the CS/1-SNA terminal
selection menu.

6.  The ASCII-to-EBCDIC and EBCDIC-to-ASCII translation tables
have been expanded to contain 256 entries.  You can sysgen
these tables to perform the translation using this
procedure:

1.  Follow the instructions in the Configuration Guide to run
the Sysgen program on the CS/1-SNA.



2.  Select the SNA Emulation Level Parameters option from the
SNA Parameters menu.

3.  The SNA Emulation Level menu appears on the screen.  Note
that the Character Set Selection option has been replaced
by the EBCDIC/ASCII Translation Table option.  The default
translation tables are for the U.S. character set.

Select the EBCDIC/ASCII translation option.  The screen
will display the three sub-options as follows:

0. Reset EBCDIC/ASCII translation table. (U.S.A. character
set) 1. View/Modify EBCDIC to ASCII translation table.  2.
View/Modify ASCII to EBCDIC translation table.

4.  Option 0 resets both the EBCDIC-to-ASCII and ASCII-to-
EBCDIC translation tables to DEFAULT.

Option 1 displays the EBCDIC-to-ASCII translation table,
which is followed by this prompt:

Enter row and column (low limit=0x00, hi limit=0xff):0x If
you need to change a value in the table, enter the address
of the value (the row and column numbers).  Then press the
return key.

The old ASCII value at that address will be displayed.
When a prompt for the new value appears, enter the new
value.

Option 2 is similar to option 1, except that the
translation table is ASCII-to-EBCDIC instead of EBCDIC-to-
ASCII.

The following is an example showing how the tables are
modified when the British character set is used.  Because
it is for illustrative purpose only, the values you enter
in the translation tables can be different from the ones
provided below.  All values used in the example are in
hexadecimal.

|                                  |
|       4A                24       |
|       5B                23       |
|__________________________________|

In this example, the British character set is used.  The
user, therefore, wants the characters not in the U.S.
character set to be translated.

The user enters "4A" as the address of the value in the
EBCDIC-to-ASCII table that needs to be changed.  This
address is actually the EBCDIC value of the "cent" sign,
which is not available in the U.S. character set.

The user then enters "24" as the new value.  This value is
the ASCII code for the character that will be displayed by
an ASCII terminal when the EBCDIC code for the "cent" sign
is sent from the host to the CS/1-SNA. The ASCII character,
to which the "cent" sign will be translated, is "$".  The
user chooses another symbol to represent the "cent" sign
because there is not an equivalent of this sign in the
ASCII character set.

When you modify your translation table, you are not
required to enter "24" as the new ASCII value for the
"cent" sign.  For example, if you want a question mark (?)
to represent the "cent" sign on the ASCII terminal, you
should enter "3F" as the new value.
Next, the user enters "5B" as the address, which is the EBCDIC
code for "$".  Then "23" is entered as the new value.  As a
result, the ASCII character "#", which has ASCII value 23, will
appear on the terminal when the EBCDIC code for "$" is sent from
the host to the CS/1-SNA.

Similarly, the entries in the ASCII-to-EBCDIC table can be
changed to provide the same mappings, which are shown in the
following chart.  The address now represents the ASCII code for
the character entered from an ASCII keyboard, and the new value
entered by the user represents the EBCDIC code that will be sent
to the host from the CS/1-SNA.''

MCPU PROMs must be M1MMON Rev. 01K or later and the EC/2 PROMs
must be M0EDL2 Rev. 01A or later.

Bugs Fixed

The following problems, which were present in SW/1-SNA Version
12000, have been fixed in SW/1-SNA Version 13000:

1.  Painting the screen of a VT100 terminal now requires less
time.

2.  The CICSTM printer no longer gives an extra form feed.

3.  The logon screen on VTAM is now displayed after connection
if the sysgen parameter "Negative FMD response if no
connection" has the proper value.



4.  The clear key now functions properly.

5.  The SPP EOM flag is now always set for compatibility with
the GS/1.

6.  If you repeatedly type CTRL-u to repaint the screen, the
CS/1-SNA will no longer crash.

7.  The tab key now works properly on wide-screen terminals.

8.  In the past, any non-printing character sent from the host
to the terminal was sent as a null character instead of a
blank.  This caused improper cursor movement.  The problem
has been fixed.

Limitations

SW/1-SNA Version 13000 has the following limitations:

1.  The intensity attribute is not supported in VIP 7814TM and
VIP 7305TM terminal emulation.

2.  There is no command available to disable the wrap-around
feature in the host terminal mode of the Xerox 820TM.
Instead, the screen is advanced one line to the next
screen.

3.  A beep sound is always generated by the VIP 7201TM when the
screen is cleared.

Procedure to Sysgen SW/1-SNA Version 13000

Refer to the Configuration Guide for the procedure to sysgen
SW/1-SNA Version 13000.

Memory Dump Procedure

If the CS/1-SNA crashes for any reason, you should follow the
procedure described in the Network Management Guide to obtain a
