DECISION DATA MODEL #5751-01 CLUSTER
|
||
WITH 5250 MODEL 11
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The model #5751-01 from Decision Data claims to emulate an
|
||
IBM model 5294 cluster controller. However with information
|
||
obtained from their technical support group, this is not the
|
||
case. Instead, the Decision Data model #5751-01 should be
|
||
treated as an IBM model 12 remote controller. Incidentally,
|
||
the Decision Data model #5751-01 will not support IBM's
|
||
Displaywrite/3x, which is also true with IBM's model 12
|
||
remote controller.
|
||
|
||
This technical bulletin concerns itself with the way the
|
||
Decision Data model #5751-01 handles workstation addressing
|
||
on an IBM System/3x. This unit either has 4 or 8 ports
|
||
depending upon which option was taken. It is important to
|
||
note that port #1 should always be used. The following
|
||
addressing scheme should be used if the Decision Data model
|
||
#5751-01 cluster controller is chosen over the IBM model
|
||
5294 cluster controller:
|
||
|
||
Unit Address of Decision Data IBM
|
||
5250 Model 11 Terminals Model #5751-01 System
|
||
and or Emulators Cluster Controller 3X
|
||
|
||
04 ------------> 00 Note #1
|
||
00 ------------> 02 Note #2
|
||
|
||
**NOTE**
|
||
|
||
#1 If the AST5251/11 emulator and or terminal is the very
|
||
first physical device from the Decision Data model
|
||
#5751-01 cluster controller, unit address number 04
|
||
must be used. Please note that a physical device
|
||
was specified. Multiple session support with the
|
||
AST5251/11 Plus, however, will not be supported.
|
||
|
||
#2 The very last physical device or the terminator on the
|
||
line must have a unit address of 00.
|
||
|
||
The following example will illustrate this addressing scheme
|
||
more clearly:
|
||
|
||

|
||
