PREFACE
This is the only manual you need to maintain the
IBM 3741 Data Station. The manual contains
theory, operation procedures, MAPs, and removereplace-and-adjust procedures. It also contains part
numbers for the field replaceable units (FRUs).
All the information is in an easy-to-use graphic
format.

Keyboard

The starting point for each call is on page 1-1.
Page 1-1 directs you to the Symptom Index. The
Symptom Index in turn, based on the symptom,
directs you to a MAP section. If the MAP does not
lead you to the cause of the trouble, go back to
the Symptom Index to look for another MAP, or
use the Basic Machine Checkout Procedure, MAP
7-1. If the symptom changes during machine warmup, use the last symptom to start the call. If there
are no specific symptoms to guide you, use MAP
7-1.
Each MAP section contains step-by-step procedures to locate the failing part, and the removereplace-and-adjust procedures to correct machine
error.
iBM 3741 Data Station
Check the manual to see how it is organized and
the information it contains.

SAFETY
To ensure personal safety and the safety of coworkers, each CE should make it a practice to
observe safety precautions at all times. The CE
Safety Practices Card is reproduced below for
your reference.

CE SAFETY PRACTICES
All Customer Engineers are expected to take every safety pre·
caution possible. and observe the following safety practices
while maintaining IBM equipment:
1. Yeu should not work alone under hazardous conditions or
around equipment with dangerous voltage. Always advise
your manager if you MUST work olone.
2. Remove all power AC and DC when removing or assem·
bling major components, working in immediate area of
power supplies, performing mechanical inspection of power
supplies and installing changes in machine circuitry.
3. Wall box power switch when turned off should be locked
or tagged in off position. "00 not Operate" tags, form
229-1266, affixed when applicable. Pull power supply cord
whenever possible.
4. When it is absolutely necessary to work on equipment having exposed operating mechanical parts or exposed live
electrical circuitry anywhere in the machine, the following
precautions must be followed:
a. Another person familiar with power off controls must
be in immediate vicinity.
b. Rings, wrist watches, chains, bracelets, metal cuff links,
shall not be worn.
c. Only insulated pliers and screwdrivers shall be used.
d. Keep one hand in pocket.
e. When using test instruments be certain controls are set
correctly and proper capacity, insulated probes are used.
f. Avoid contacting g round potential (metal floor strips,
machine frames, etc. - use suitable rubber mats pur·
chased locally if necessary).
5. Safety Glasses must be worn when:
o. Using a hammer to drive pins, riveting, staking, etc.
b. Power hand drilling, reaming, grinding, etc.
c. Using spring hooks, attaching springs.
d. Soldering, wire cutting, removing steel bonds.
e. Parts cleaning, using solvents, sprays, cleaners, chemicals,
etc.
f. All other conditions that may be hazardous to your
eyes. REMEMBER, THEY ARE YOUR EYES.
6. Special safety instructions such as handling Cathode Ray
Tubes and extreme high voltages, must be followed as
outlined in CEM's and Safety Section of the Maintenance
Manuals.
7. Do not use solvents, chemicals, greases or oils that have
not been approved by IBM.
8. Avoid using tools or test equipment that have not been
approved by IBM.
9. Replace worn or broken tools and test equipment.
10. Lift by standing or pushing up with stronger leg musclesthis tokes strain off back muscles. Do not lift any equipment or parts weighing over 60 pounds.
11. All safety devices such as guards, shields, signs, ground
wires, etc. shall be restored after maintenance.

KNOWING SAFETY RULES IS NOT ENOUGH
AN UNSAFE ACT WILL INEVITABLY LEAD TO
AN ACCIDENT
USE GOOD JUDGMENT - ELIMINATE
UNSAFE ACTS

12. Each Customer Engineer is responsible to be certain that
no action on his part renders product unsafe or exposes
hazards to customer personnel.
13. Place removed machine covers in a safe out-of.the·way
place where no one can trip over them.
14. All machine cavers must be in place before machine is returned to customer.
15. Alwuys place CE tool kit away from walk areas where no
one can trip over it (i.e., under desk or table).
16. Avoid touching mechanical moving parts (i.e., when lubri·
cating, checking for play, etc.).
17. When using stroboscope - do not touch ANYTHING - it
may be moving.
18. Avoid wearing loose clothing that may be caught in machin·
ery. Shirt sleeves must be left buttoned or rolled above the
elbow.
19. Ties must be tucked in shirt or have a tie clasp (preferably
nonconductive) approximately 3 inches from end. Tie chains
are not recommended.
20. Before starting equipment, make certain fellow CE's and
customer personnel are not in a hazardous position.
21. Maintain good housekeeping in area of machines while performing and after completing maintenance.

CRT SAFETY

Storage

You must be especially aware of the dangerous
voltages present in a 3741 and the potential
hazard presented by an unprotected cathode ray
tube (CRT). Thus, the following DANGER notice
appears here.

1.

Tubes must be kept in the carton or unit
except when exposure is required for inspection or test.

2.

Adequate storage area must be provided for
all CRTs. Tubes should be stacked in such
a manner that they cannot easily be tipped
over and will not be a problem to handle
when removed from the stack. It is recommended that the storage area be away from
the normal flow of internal trucking and
pedestrian traffic.

DANGER
Voltages of 12,000,400, +12 and -12 in the
3741. Be careful when working in the area of
the high voltage power supply and CRTs. Do
not remove the high voltage lead from the CRT
following power off until the high voltage lead
and anode have been grounded.
All CEs should become familiar with the general
safety practices and procedures for performing
artificial respiration that are outlined in CE
Safety Practices (form 229-1264). In addition,
each CE should review general safety CEM #45 on
CRT safety.

Testing
Personnel who test CRTs must be instructed in
the dangers and precautions to be observed.

Protective Equipment
Cathode Ray Tubes - Safe Handling
Cathode ray tubes contain a high vacuum and are
subject to implosion. Such an implosion can propel
flying glass, thus presenting a source of personal
injury. Therefore, when handling CRTs, be careful.

Transportation Handling

1.

Cathode ray tubes must be enclosed when
received, transported, or otherwise moved
from area to area. If they are shipped in a
carton, they must be in the original carton
or one of equivalent strength and securely
sealed to prevent accidental opening. Also,
original or equivalent packing materials and/
or forms must be placed inside the carton
to properly support and protect the tube.
If tubes are transported in a unit or piece
of equipment, the equipment must be able
to contain the glass fragments if an implosion occurs.

2.

Each CRT carton must be identified with a
"DANGER Cathode Ray Tube Implosion
Hazard" label.

3.

All persons handling tubes or in the vicinity
of exposed CRTs under vacuum must wear
safety glasses.

3/21/75

8/1/75

Persons handling or working with or near unprotected CRTs must wear safety glasses.

Defective CRT Disposition
No attempt should be made to repair defective
CRTs in the field. A defective CRT should be
properly packed and disposed of in accordance
with CRT disposition procedures.

HOW TO USE THE DISPLAY UNIT
SYMPTOMS

DISPLAY UNIT SYMPTOMS
-

If you are aware of the display unit symptom
terms and the directions on this page, continue
with the next command. Otherwise, review the
information contained in the adjacent columns
and then continue here.
- The diskette can be either unloaded or loaded.
(Loaded is preferred.)
- Remove the viewer.
- Turn up the brightness control (observe the
caution).
Look for a correct raster as shown. For this
decision, disregard any characters that might
also be evident within the raster.

The following 7 pages contain descriptions and
pictures of symptoms to direct you to the correct
MAP to use for diagnosis.

CRT:

Cathode ray tube (display).

Blank CRT:

The display looks like power is off.

Blooms:

The entire display appears to glow
or the raster is excessively bright.

Brightness:

The amount of light emitted from
the raster.

The symptoms are numbered to indicate the priority sequence and to allow referencing.
Read the symptom description with each picture
to understand the illustration and any variations
that could be applicable.

Character:

All letters, numbers, special symbols, and the cursor, formed by a
series of small dots.

Deflection:

The vertical, horizontal, and wiggle
sweeps needed to form the 6 lines,
the line lengths and the line height.

For some symptoms, it could be necessary to turn
the brightness control up to observe the symptoms.
CAUTION
Never make CRT tube face glow or bloom. Return
brightness control to normal before proceeding
into the MAPs.

(-

DISPLAY UNIT GLOSSARY

x "'

Symptoms of display trouble are not readily illustrated exactly; each display symptom is an individual. Therefore, when using the following
index, attempt to locate a picture or descriptive
symptom that is similar to (not necessarily the
same as) what you saw displayed.

Raster:

The bright area of six lines, each
about 0.2 inch (5.1 mm) high by
from 3.5 to 5.5 inches (88.9 to
139.7 mm) long, caused by the
deflection ci rcuits. (A raster
might not be displayed, except
with the CE pins jumpered, on
some CRTs because of normal
gain variation between CRTs.)

Retrace:

The return trace for the deflection
sweeps.

Video:

Pulses, which are intensified dots,
that result in characters.

/

If any of more than 1 picture might be the right
one, see if they all use the same MAP. If so, no
need to choose; just go to that MAP.
Is the raster (relative size, position, and number of
lines) as shown; and does the brightness remain
stable?
Y N
Review the symptoms, starting with 1 on the
next page, until the most similar symptom is
found. Use the MAP indicated.
Return the brightness control to normal.
Data may be entered, but is not required.
Are characters displayed and are they free of
distortion?
Y N
Review the symptoms, starting with 14,
until the most similar symptom is found. Use
the MAP indicated.
Review the symptoms, starting with 23, until
the most similar symptom is found. Use the
MAP indicated.

The correct MAP or procedure to use follows each
picture.
Regardless of the starting point, it is necessary to
compare all succeeding display symtoms uptothe
one that is similar to one you have_ If no similar
display can be found, use the Display General
MAP following the last picture.
All display symptoms are shown with the viewer
removed, and viewed from the operator side of
the machine.
Most of the symptoms are shown with a diskette
loaded. However, the symptom may be used as
you first found it (unloaded, loaded, or with data),
while being aware of the difference this makes
on the display.

between head and CE tool.

To properly make the head adjustment, you must
obtain three simultaneous conditions:
Correct head-to-CE tool clearance.

Position and fasten phototransistor holder with
mounting screw so raised edge is contacting
but not pressing against CE tool.
Remove CE tool.
Rotate stepper wheel four revolutions and check
for binding. If binding occurs and clearance
(230P) is correct, replace leadscrew wheel and
stepper motor assembly.
Do the lower limit stop and upper limit stop
adjustments, (232 and 234).
Reinstall disk drive cover (221) and test disk
drive by using the disk alignment tracks on the
CE test diskette PN 2455026. See Display Data

Install CE tool (230B).
Rotate tool until it contacts surface (230E).
Rotate disk drive hub so white sticker on outside diameter of hub is up. If white sticker is
not present, rotate hub so indented mark is up.

1.

If all three conditions are correct, securely tighten
the leadscrew clamping wheel. (Use the short end
of an allen wrench in the screw). If all three conditions are not correct, repeat this procedure
(231) starting after 'Install CE tool'.

Make sure CE tool is touching surface (230E)
of head carriage (230G) while obtaining
clearance (230F).
You should now have the following simultaneous
conditions:
1.

Correct head-to-CE tool clearance.

2.

The following chart provides approximate timing
information for search, copy, and initialization
operations on the 3741. Timings are shown for
the normal sector sequence (1, 2, 3, .... 25, 26)
and for the alternate sector sequence (1, 3, 5 ....
25, 2, 4, .... 24, 26). The timings provided in the
chart should serve as a useful guide when relative
job timing must be considered.
The timings a1re based on 80 character records.
Timing can be affected by such things as disk
speed, length and location of search masks, and
the location of data sets on the disk.

Flyplate Replacement

Replacing a dislodged flyplate in a key module
is not recommended. However, if replacement
is necessary because a new key module is not
available, inspect the flyplate to make sure the
joint between the spring and flyplate is not loose
or the flyplate is not cracked or damaged.
- Form the spring on the flyplate so that there
is 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) between the ends of the
spring.
Holding the key module and flyplate as
shown, line up the ends of the flyplate
spring
with the tips of the· flat spring
II attached to the keystem.

Remove the keybutton from the key module
and remove the module frorn the keyboard.

Insert a small stylus or straightened paper
clip through one of the accessholes in the
key moduleR
Push the tip of the flat spring up on the inside
of the flyplate spring.
Ease the flat spring down until· the tab drops
into the slot of the flyplate spring.
Attach the other end of the spring in the same
way.

Note: The write protect byte of a data set label is
checked only for the first data set to be received
on either disk. Subsequent data set labels are not
checked. Therefore, caution should be used to ensure write protected data is not written over during
receive operations. On early shipments of the 3741
with binary synchronous communciations, the
write protect byte status of the first used label
was not used. Your 3741 can be field upgraded
so that the write protect byte can be used. Contact your IBM representative for more information.

726 Machine Characteristics (Service Hints)

Due to file (write) protect, it is possible for the
3741 to give an indication that it has written
data to disk when in fact nothing has changed.

Be aware that the machine characteristics de- .
scribed below may cause problems. You can either
circumvent them with changes in the customer's
routine, or if that's not satisfactory, field bills
of material are available to correct the conditions.

The following machine characteristics cause
problems only in conjunction with improper
operating procedures.

Machine characteristics:
In receive mode, if a data set ends exactly at
73026 and a null record is received, a D error is
displayed even though all data is received correctly.
Invalid ACK, after a 3-second time-out, does
not result in resending the previous record.
If communications starts on a data set, a redial
(after a remote abort) will proceed from one
record beyond the original starting position.
This is intermittent and one record may be
lost.

If receive mode overflows Disk 2, no C will be
put in position 45 (multivolume indicator) of
the data set label.
During any receive mode, the 3741 can write
over protected data. This will occur if the extents for the receive data set overlaps a protected data set. F or example:

(Receive data set)
(Protected data set)

BOE
01001
08001

01 001 -------------------------Receive
data set
08001 --------------------------

If receive mode detects a read index error, the
error is displayed and an EOT is sent even
though no more data is sent.

--------------------------- 10026

T/R mode. If the last data set transmitted is
file-protected, then all receive data is fileprotected and will not be written on the diskette
even though it appears to function normally.

15001 --------------------------

In transmit mode, if an A error or a read index
error occurs, the null record to end the last
data set is not transmitted, thus giving the remote end the impression that not all data was
transmitted in the last data set.

Feature Mix

The 3741 is designed to operate satisfactorily
at 600, 1200, 2000, or 2400 bps.

The synchronous clock must not be installed in
the 3741 if attached to System/3 LCA.

Modems being used must be end-to-end compatible, running at the same speed with the
correct options. The modem options generally required are:

The synchronous clock must not be installed
when using 2000 or 2400 bps modems.

EIA voltage interface.
Half duplex.
Carrier controlled by request to send.
- Without new sync.
- Internal clocking {on the modem} must be
specified if sync clock is not used in the
3741.
The IBM 3872 and the IBM 1200 bps Line
Adapter features are not end-to-end compatible.
When the CBS Data Access Arrangement (DAA)
using the 1001 A coupler or equivalent is used
with the switched 1200 bps line adapter feature,
it must be ordered:
- With series 5 or later connected to Type II
local loop.
- With DAA controlling the line (you must raise
the exclusion key to hear the dial tone).
- With ringer connected on the line side of
the exclusion key.
- With DAA supplying its own power so that
the hook switch transfers when receiver is
lifted from, or set on, the cradle.
- With a handset type 502A, or equivalent.
For more information see Service Aids-3741

with 1200 bps Line Adapter/CBS Coupler
(page 8-1).

The synchronous clock must be installed if 1200
bps line adapter is installed.

The remote device has
terminated communications prematurely by
sending an EOT or disconnect (DLE EOT) prior
to sending ETX (end of
text). Call remote end
to determine what error
caused it to terminate
communications.

T

Transparency
Error

Hex data was detected in
the record to be transmitted in T, B, J, or K
mode. The characters
SOH ('01'), STX ('02'),
NAK ('3D'), ETB ('26'),
ETX ('03'), SYN ('32'),
IUS ('1 F'), DLE ('10'),
ENO ('2D'), IRS ('1 E'),
IFS ('1C'), or EOT ('37')
cannot be sent in T, B, J,
or K mode. They could
be sent in P or D mode.
Often a transparency
check occurs when data
set extents overlap or a
data set is transmitted
which is not intended to
be transmitted.

U

Received
Data
Block

The 3741 received a data
block starting with SOH
or STX when in transmit
mode. This error can
occur if the receiving
station has an error before transmission begins
and attempts to send
status to the transmit~
ting station, or both
stations are in transmit
mode.

1. Not enough physical
space to write all
records remote end
is attempting to send.
2. There are not enough
valid labels to receive
all the data sets the
remote end is attempting to send.
In transmit or transmit/
receive mode:
1. Continued data set was
indicated on disk 1 but
disk 2 was not available
or there were no valid
labels on disk 2.

2. If terminal ID and remote ID compare functions are being used
and the IDs do not
compare.

2. Continued data set was
indicated on disk 2.

3. If there is a modem or
communication line
problem that prevents
end-to-end
communication.

Data Set
Ready Has
Dropped

Line checks occurring during data transfer can be
caused by:

The 'data set ready' interface line (from the modem)
has dropped unexpectedly
(while 'data terminal ready'
was still on). This can be
caused by:
1. The remote end dropping the connection on
a switched line unexpectedly.

1. Modem or communication line problems.

Note: Error recovery
problems on early 3741
base BSCA machines
caused an abnormal
number of calls to end in
a line check error. This
problem was corrected
with ECA 14 and/or
ECA22.

V

X

Received
Line Bid

Negative
Bid
Response

The remote end sent a
line bid (ENO) after the
3741 has posted complete or incomplete
status.

When the 3741 is set up to operate on switched
lines, the M key determines whether or not the
3741 will send the initial line bid (ENO). The
M key has no function on the non-switched line.

Line Bids (Sending and Receiving ENOs)
Proper use of the M key can be verified by:

According to convention, the station placing
the call (calling station) should bid the line (ENO).
If the 3741 is the station placing the call, the
operator setup should be:

1.

Calling the bidding station from a convenient
telephone. After the answertone, you should
hear the line bids (on a one- or three-second
interval).

Press FUNC SEL upper
COMM
M
T, P, B, 0 or R

2.

Calling the station that is to receive the
line bid. After the answertone, there
should be a 20-second period of silence
on the line. (After 20 seconds, the station
may bid the line to send a status message.)

3.

If the station that receives the line bid
turns on request to send (within the 20
seconds), it indicates that it has received
the line bid and has responded.

The M key tells the 3741 to bid the line (ENO),
independent of the mode selected or the
following key strikes. If a CPU is the remote
end receiving the call, it should be programmed
to look for a line bid (receive ENO).
Also, according to convention, the station receiving the call (called station) should wait
for a line bid (receive ENO). If the 3741 is
the station receiving the call, the operator setup
should be:
Press FUNC SEL upper
COMM
T, P, B, 0 or R
The absence of the M key indicates to the 3741
that it should wait for a line bid for 20 seconds.
If the CPU is the remote station placing the
call, it should be programmed to send the initial
line bid (ENO).

The remote end responded NAK or disconnect (OLE EOT) to a
line bid. This can
occur if the 3741 has a
disk error, attempts to
send a bid for status,
and receives a NAK
from the remote device.
The disk error is the significant error in this
case.

Use the following to diagnose modem and communication line problems:
1.

CBS coupler service aids (page 8-38).

2.

1200 bps line adapter transmit level and
receive level check (page 8-36.5).

3.

. TDAT is modem eliminator (TOAT test
procedures 8-26.10).

4.

Expanded communications feature diagnostic aids (8-33).

5.

Probe transmit data and receive data interface lines to verify that data is being transmitted and received (764).

6.

Attempt to communicate with another
system with each device to prove the
communication capability of each.

7.

When attempting to diagnose linkup
problems on switched lines, changing
jumper 6 to non-switched will eliminate
the 20-second time-out and disconnect
. (for diagnosis only). See page 16-4 for
information on jumper 6.

741 Throughput Considerations
720 and 740 show typical throughput rates for
the 3741 Model 2 with and without the expanded communications feature or with the expanded
communications/multipoint feature, respectively.
The figures show throughput rates in terms of
the number of records per minute processed as a
function of record size, line facility, and modem
speed. The rates listed are for information only.

•

Propagation delay and CPU delay are
negligible.

• Speed of remote device is equal to or faster
than the 3741.
•

For two-wire lines, the 1200,2000 and 2400
bps modems have 200, 175, and 180 millisecond clear-to-send delays, respectively.

•

For four-wire lines, the 12~Oand 2400 bps
modems have 25- and 85- millisecond clearto-senp delays, respectively.

e Setup and line initialization sequences are not
included in determining the throughput rates.

•

For 720 a transmit selected records program
was not used.

•

Non-transparent data is transmitted or
received.

•

•

Disk sequence is 01.

No retransmissions. (Modem and line problems can cause a large number of retransmissions as indicated by a large number of
th ree-second ti me-outs.)

•

No deleted records or disk errors are encountered. (Excessive number of retries on
disk operations, as indicated by a large number of two-second time-outs, can degrade
throughput.)

The assumptions made in determining the
throughput rates are:

CE DISPLAY MODE
Selecting a Diagnostic Program
The diagnostic programs for CE display mode use
a special section of ROS that can be used independently of the machine functional ROS. These
diagnostic programs can be used separately to
cause the display of:
Disk speed
Disk track IDs
Display registers contents

Note: When selecting a diagnostic program for
disk 2, the NUM SH I FT must be pressed with
the proper program select key.

Selecting the CE display mode cancels the previous
operator mode and all data in memory, such as
stored programs, production statistics, field totals,
and duplication data. CE display mode can be
selected from the following machine modes:
Read index
Update
Enter
Search
Verify and field correct

Terminating a Diagnostic Program
To terminate a diagnostic program, press
RESET

A diskette must be installed in the disk drive to
be selected for CE display mode. If disk drive
2 is the drive selected, then a diskette must also
be installed in disk drive 1, but the opposite is
not necessary.

Note: RESET may have to be pressed more than
once to terminate the display registers diagnostic,
because the reset key code can be accepted in the
KBDATA register only at times other than when
that register is being periodically set to zero.

DIAGNOSTIC PROGRAMS

Display Disk Speed
The display disk speed diagnostic can be used to:
-

Locate a failing machine.
Determine causes of changing or out-of-tolerance disk speed.
Verify display-to-cursor operation.
Adjust actuator bail.
Cause a repeated read.

This diagnostic causes a line of digits to be displayed which can be used to calculate disk speed
in terms of milliseconds per revolution. The diagnostic can be selected while at any track on the
disk as long as the first record of that track is
good (it can be a deleted record).
The display to cursor operation of the display
attachment is used, which means that no digits
are displayed at or beyond the cursor position.
The cursor moves as the disk speed varies. It
is normal that other data may appear lightly, at
short intervals, on the display.
To use the display disk speed diagnostic, select
CE display mode, and press the letter a key.
(For disk drive 2, hold down NUM SH I FT and
press the letter 0 key.) The display will look
similar to this:

EC .823146

825853

826065

Date 9/15/74

11/15/74

811/75

To terminate the display disk speed diagnostic,
press RESET once to return to CER mode.
Another diagnostic can now be selected, or an
exit from CE display mode can be made by
pressing RESET a second time.

PN 1619010

A missing or unstable record one I D results in a
blank or unstable disk speed display. In this case,
press the space bar (or any key except RESET,
SHIFT, or REP) to advance to the next
track up on the disk and observe the IDs. If
record one I D looks OK, use this track to display
disk speed by pressing RESET to get to CER
mode, then press the O' ke'y. If record one does
not look good on this track, either try a different
diskette or, if there is a problem with all diskettes, go to disk diagnostic MAPs.

Note: This diagnostic depends on the disk drive
being able to read the first record of any track on
a disk. A write check to record one command is
sent repeatedly. Write check causes the record
to be read each revolution. Rotational disk
speed computation is based on the frequency
at which record one is read.
If, after selection of this mode, disk speed is
not displayed, or disk speed displayed is unstable,
try the following:
Press RESET to terminate disk speed diagnostic.
Press J key to select display disk track IDs
diagnostic.
Look at the first three sets of four double
binary characters to determine if record one
10 (identifier) is present and stable. (The
first set of four double binary characters
should be the record one I D. Its characters may
have to be compared to the next two IDs in
order to identify it as record one.) The first
three I Ds should look like this:

The first digit (O) displayed on the data line represents 150 milliseconds. Each digit in order to
the right represents an increase of one millisecond.
To. calculate disk rotational speed, cOl;lnt the digits
to the right of the first 0, up to the cursor, and
add 150. The example display shows 17 digits to
the right of the firstO (1 through 0 = 10, 1 through
7 = 7). 150 + 17 =' 167 milliseconds. This represents normal disk speed, which should be 167 ± 4
milliseconds.

Track Number
The track number is the first double binary
character of each group of four. There should be
26 alike for each track. (See the description of
Display Disk Track IDs for explanation of how to
decode the double binary characters.)

Display Disk Track IDs

Locate Failing Machine

This diagnostic causes the track and record IDs
(identifiers) to be displayed for the track in use
at the time the diagnostic is selected. The diagnostic can be selected while at any track on the
disk and does not depend on any of the IDs
either being present or good. This 'diagnostic can
also be used to cause the disk drive to seek up
or down one track at a time to cause display of
the lOs of any track on the disk.

This could be a machine which has a disk drive
running at a disk speed either higher or lower
than the normal limits. Disks written on or initialized by the out-of-spec machine will work well
in that machine, and may work OK in some machines of the group. But, the out-of-spec disk may
not work well in other machines of the group
that are running in-spec at a speed (high or low)
opposite the out-of-spec machine.
Disk Speed
Too high
- Ac power out of specification.
- Wrong drive motor pUlley.

Display to Cursor Operation
Digits should be displayed only up to the cursor
position. A fault in the display-to-cursor operation would allow all 40 digits to appear on the
first data line with the cursor under one of the
digits.
Repetitious Read
Repeated reading record one of a particular track
allows the CE to look at the read amplifier or the
file data line with an oscilloscope.

The head load magnet stays energized for continuous read mode while the display IDs diagnostic is operating.

To use the display track IDs diagnostic, install
an initialized diskette, select CE display mode, and
press the J key. The display will look similar
to this:
Record One
ID

a

001
Too Low
- Ac power out of specification.
Wrong drive motor pulley.
Drive motor bearings binding.
Oisk drive hub shaft bearings binding.
Disk drive belt slipping.
Oisk drive belt idler pulley binding or sticking.
Collet not clamping disk to drive hu b tightly
enough.
. - Pad on the bail of the head load actuator
assembly puts too much pressure on the
diskette.
Pressure pad arm loads disk to head too tightly.
Disk sticks in diskette.

The total display length increases if more lOs
are read during a disk revolution than were read
on any previous revolution, but the length does
not decrease due to a lesser number of IDs read
on a subsequent revolution. Individual double
binary characters will look unstable if all track
IDs do not read correctly for each revolution of
the disk due to an ID shift to the left to replace
missing lOs. The total display will not shorten.

26 IDs
The cursor will show on the display in position
three. Its position is determined by the contents
of the sense register. (See page 8-5, Sense/Command Register Operation.)
Each record I D displayed contains tour double
binary characters. Each track has 26 record locations, thus 104 (26 X 4) of the double binary
characters should be displayed. If an I D is
missing in a track, or cannot be read, the next
ID read will be displayed in its place, followed
by the rest of the IDs read. The result will be
a shortened total display length. For example,
if six I Ds are missing in a track, only two lines
of double binary characters are displayed. To
determine the order in which the IDs were
placed on the track during disk initialization
one can decode the individual record lOs. Since
all tracks on a particular disk will have their
IDs in the same order, it is possible to compare
a good track (one that displays all 26 IDs) to
the faulty track as a means of determining which
IDs are missing on the faulty track.

Service Applications (continued)

The display disk track I Ds diagnostic can be used
to:
Determine disk track record order.
Verify head location.
Determine missing IDs.
Qetermine or verify faulty tracks.
Check actuator bail.
Cause a continuous read.
Verify operation of sense register.
Discover intermittent problems in the disk
drive attachment.
Locate disk problems.
Check track accessing.

Record order on the disk will be transparent to
the operator of the machine: One of the 13 record
order sequences other than 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc., may
provide best disk access times for a specific job.

Head Location
This diagnostic verifies actual head location by
reading the track number found in the IDs
displayed after a track selection has been made
from the index track, or a search has been keyed.
Table 1 (page 8-7) shows track numbers. All track
numbers in a particular track must be identical.

Actuator Bail Adjustment
This diagnostic will keep the disk drive head load
actuator magnet energized while making an adjustment of the actuator bail. (Display disk
speed CE mode can also be used for the same
purpose.)

Continuous Read
A continuous read of a particular track on a disk
allows the CE to look at the read amplifier or the
'file data' line with an oscilloscope.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Disk Track Record Order
All tracks on anyone disk, including the index
track (track 00), should have their records arranged in the same order. The order is determined
at the time of disk initialization by control digits
that are keyed by the operator in positions 7
and 8 of track 00. If positions 7 and 8 of the record are left blank, or if 01 is entered in those
positions, all records in each track on that disk are
arranged in sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, through 26, as
shown by line 1 of Table 2 (page 8-8). If 02 is entered in positions 7 and 8, then all records in each
track on that disk are arranged, at time of initialization, in the sequence shown by line two of Table
2 (page 8-8); 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,
23,2~~4,6,8, 10, 12,14, 16, 18,20,2~24,
26.

If the display of IDs shows a lesser number than
26 (as shown to the right), the missing IDs can
be due to:

During disk initialization, the machine writes
the sequence digits in positions 77 and 78 of
sector 07, track 00. Display of sector 07, track
00, will show the sequence digits in 77 and 78.

HHHHHHHH
22 IDs, 88 characters

Improper track 0 stop adjustment.
Accidental erasure.
Faulty track on the disk.
Un initialized disk.
Weak read amplifier (faulty FC card).
Faulty VFO card.
Misadjusted actuator bail (207).
Accidental erase and faulty tracks can be resolved
by reinitialization of the disk. If at the end of
initialization, the number of bad tracks identified exceeds two, the disk should be discarded.
An uninitialized disk would display no IDs, or
all tracks would contain 'FF' IDs. Initialize that
disk for use in the machine.

Note that:
All record sequences start with record 01.
There are 13 different sequences possible.
When the next number in a sequence will
exceed 26 if the sequence is allowed to continue naturally, the machine will choose the
next unused number after 1 for that record
number and then continue the sequence
naturally. Example, line 07 of Table 2 (page 8-8);
1, 8, 15, 22, 2, 9, 16, 23, 3, 10, etc.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Faulty Tracks
I Dsthat are present in the display of a faulty
track (fault has developed since last disk initialization), or IDs of an adjacent good track, can
be decoded for their track number double decimal value. The double decimal value can then
be found in Table 1 (page 8-7) with its corresponding track number. If the machine finds a faulty
track during disk initialization, it will identify that
track by writing 'bad-track' IDs 15 in all 10
15
positions that will accept the writing.

Sense/Command Register Operation
The CE can verify the operation of the sense register part of the sense/command register by noting
the position of the cursor in the 10 display. During
the display IDs diagnostic, the binary value of sense
information stored in the sense register each disk
revolution controls the position of the cursor in the
display. For example, if the track is good (no 15
15
double decimal
10 characters on it) and all
IDs present are proper length and have correct
CRC (cyclic redundancy check) bytes, the cursor
will display steadily under the third character
position. This is the normal cursor position for
the display 10 diagnostic. If the track being read
has no IDs, the cursor will display under the first
position; or if a wrong CRC byte is present in the
track for any 10, the cursor will display under the
seventh position.

Ii

An intermittent condition of reading no IDs or a
wrong CRC would cause the cursor to shift from
the third position in the display to the first or
seventh position intermittently.

Disk Dri,!-e Attachment Troubleshooting
Intermittent Problems
The disk drive attachment control electronics
are exercised continuously during display disk
track I Ds diagnostic mode. A read I D command has
to be issued every 6.41 milliseconds to read each
of the 26 IDs on the track every revolution of the
disk. Intermittently missing read ID commands
would cause some of the displayed double binary
characters to look unstable in the same manner as
described for missing I Ds, page 8·5.

DOUBLE DECIMAL NOTATION FOR TRACK NUMBERS IN ID5*

TABLE 1

The display disk track IDs diagnostic can show
the frequency of failure of the IDs in each track
of disk, and thus provide a relative guide to the
number of soft error machine retries to expect
for any given track. Reinitialize a suspect disk
and then display track I Ds again. Do not forget
to try other diskettes in the same disk drive as a
comparison. Try the suspect disk in another
machine if available. The object here is to establish whether the machine or the disk is the
marginal or faulty one.

See Display Disk Track IDs (page 8-3) for how to
move the head up or down. Access to the upper

While accessing, mechanical action of the
stepper motor and leadscrew wheels can
be observed.

- Track IDs can be observed to determine if the
head is being accessed the proper amount each
time.
Nf'te: During accessing, the display is blanked.
Therefore, a new display is provided for each
track and also for the above and below limit
stop positions. This allows a new length to be
displayed shorter than the previous if not all IDs
are read for the new location. See length explanation under Display Disk Track IDs, page 8-3.

Display Registers
The diagnostic causes the contents of 30
of the 8-bit registers to be displayed. Each
register will be represented by two alphameric
characters out of the group: 0, 1, 2,3,4,5,6,
7,8,9, A, B, C, 0, E, and F. If all keyboard
toggle switches are in a down (off) position
and the machine is in the XR mode (initialized
diskette installed) when the CE mode is selected, then when the display register diagnostic is
selected, the display should look similar to
Figure 1.

Press FUNCT SEL lower (the right-most
FUNCT SEL key).
Hold down the NUM SHIFT key and press the
C key. The machine mode and status should
change to CE R.
Press the U key. The machine mode and status
should change to CEW and the display should
look similar to Figure 1 (except that the cursor is in position 017). (The six highlighted
registers should initially be 00 for a properly
operating machine. The other registers will
show their contents when the U key is pressed
and may be different than shown in Figure 1.)

(The six highlighted registers should initially be 00

The cursor will be displayed in the same position
that it was in when the CE display mode was
selected-CER mode.
The six highlighted registers in Figure 1 will
always be 00 at first selection of the di agnostic

The display registers diagnostic can be used to:
- Test keyboard switches.
- Test keyboara keys.
- Test shift keys.
Test repeat keys.
- Test system error indicator.
Keyboard Switch Test
Flip all keyboard toggle switches down (off).
Insert an initialized diskette in the disk drive
and close the drive cover. The machine should
go from XN to XR mode and display record
08 of track 00.

If the character in position 17 above the cursor
is a 0, proceed with the switch test. Each
switch has a value of 2,4, or 8 as shown in
Table 3. As the switches are turned on in sequence, their-values will be additive in the
register and the display character will change
accordingly (for each good switch).

Note: The character A is the numeric equivalent
of 10. C is the numeric equivalent of 12. E is

The switches may be turned on in any sequence.
Turning a switch off while in the CEW or CER
modes should have no effect on the display
once the register has been set.
An easy sequence to follow is to turn the
switches on (flip up) one at a time from left
to right. The character above the cursor in
position 17 should change from 0 to 8 to
A to E as each good switch is turned on.
For a sequence from right to left, the character
above the cursor in position 17 should change
from 0 to 4 to 6 to E.
Anyone switch can be tested repeatedly by
terminating the CE display mode and then
starting the test over again. (Use Table 3 as
a reference.) The cursor doesn't have to be
moved to position 17 each time, but it does
help to spot the active register position.
RESET may have to be pressed more than
once to change from CEW to CE R mode because the keyboard data register is periodically reset by the diagnostic program and may
not accept the first RESET input.

Note: If the keyboard switch test indicates a bad
switch position the problem could be:
Switch fails to make or break. Check with
the CE ohmmeter.
Open or shorted wiring connections to the
keyboard PC board.
Broken, shorted, or open pin or land pattern on the keyboard PC board.

Keyboard Fourth Switch Test-Katakana
Machines
The KATAKANA SHIFT switch can be tested
by following the procedure outlined for keyboard switch test, with these differences.
- The indication characters will be displayed
in register group 24 (fourth group from
the left in the bottom line for the 3741).
The switch OFF characters should be 00.
- The switch ON characters should be 20.
- The data key must be pressed several times
to test the switch shift function.

Repeat Key Test
The repeat (REP) key by itself will cause no
change in the display of registers and will not produce a keyboard click. REP, held down with another key, should cause the other key to be repetitively sampled to the register. The register will
accept the input at a time when it is not being
reset as previously explained. The display will
change once when the register accepts the input.
The keyboard should click repetitively while
the two keys are held down.

Hold NUM SHIFT down and press the same
key as in the previous steps. The left-hand
character should increase by 4. See Table 4.

The object of this test is to try to set the error
bit in the proper register and see if the bit sets
and also if the error alarm conditions are implemented by the machine.

-

Hold ALPHA SH I FT down and press the
same keys as in the two previous steps. The
left-hand character should again increase by
4. In effect, ALPHA SH I FT causes an increase
of 8. See Table 4.

-

Hold KANA SYMB down and press the same
key as in the previous steps. The left-hand
character should increase by 12 over the no
shift character. See Table 4.
-

Hold KANA SHIFT down and press the
same key as in the previous steps. The
indication characters will be displayed in
register group 24 (fourth group from the
left in the bottom line). The no Katakana
shift condition is 00. The Katakana shift
is 20.

Start in XR mode.
Use CHAR ADV to move the cursor out to
position 18.

CE PINS FOR RASTER DISPLAY

CE VOLTMETER ACCURACY CHECK
(15 Vdc Range) (PN 452796)

The CE pins for raster display are located adjacent to the left side of the signal cable connector on the display PC board. One of the CE
pins is connected to the PC board ground. The
other CE pin is connected to the 'video signal'
line.

To check the accuracy of the 15 volt dc range of
your voltmeter, measure the voltage drop across
the zener diode on the power supply PC board.
The zener diode has a closely controlled voltage
drop of 6 volts dc with power on.

When the CE pins are connected together with
a jumper wire, the 'video signal' line is grounded,
thus preventing the display of characters on the
CRT.

It may be difficult to see the raster retrace pattern on some display units when the brightness
control is turned all the way clockwise and characters are being displayed. For these cases, the
characters can be removed from the display by
connecting the CE pins together with a jumper
wire. The absence of the brilliant characters
will allow the raster retrace lines to be more visible.

CE DISKETTES

CE Diagnostics Diskette

The following diskettes are available to aid in
servicing the 3741 :

This diskette contains programs and data for most
of the other base machine tests (such as printer
and data recorder attachment tests).

o Alignment check (PN 2455026)
Head Alignment Service Check Tracks
o CE diagnostics (PN 2469688)

o I/O adapter (PN 2469460)
• Two diskettes for Models 3 and 4

Handling Precautions
The CE should be aware that all diskettes undergo
small reversible dimensional changes as temperature
and humidity changes occur. The CE diskettes
should be allowed to stabilize to the ambient
environment before use. The stabilization period
may vary from a few· minutes to several hours depending on the magnitude of the change.
Storage in sunlight or temperatures exceeding 1100 F
is expressly prohibited. If subject to high temperatures for extended periods of time, small irreversible dimensional changes may occur which would
degrade the precision of the alignment tracks.
The alignment check diskette is intended as a
service aid only. If consistent conflicts between
the mechanical alignment tool and the diskette
occur, the diskette should be replaced.

Alignment Check Diskette \
This is a specially treated diskette designed for
checking head alignment.

The CE diskette has special tracks written on
its disk that can be used by the CE for a fast
service check of a disk drive unit to determine
if the unit has acceptable R/W head-to-track
alignment. This service check can be used to
quickly determine which disk drive unit out
of several needs R/W head adjustment to make it
compatible with the rest of the units.

The special tracks on the CE diskette disk are precision written in a manner that alternately offsets the 10 fields of each track a certain distance
from the track centerline. Special messages to the
CE are written in the 26 record areas of each track
(see Display Data Head Alignment Service
Check). Each record is offset on the opposite
side of a track from its offset ID.
Since the disk drive stepper motor/leadscrew
wheels have four discrete stop positions each revolution, a set of four special tracks is provided so
that all wheel stop positions can be checked. These
tracks are located in track positions 06, 07,08,
and 09. A second set of four special tracks is
aiso provided. The IDs and records are written
more offset than they are for the first set. Track
positions are 12, 13, 14, and 15.

I/O Adapter Diagnostic Diskette
Contained on this diskette are tests to aid in
diagnosing troubles on the I/O adapter. See
the I/O Adapter sections of this chapter.

Note that the phase zero position of the stepper
motor/leadscrew wheels corresponds to tracks
00, 04, 08, 12, etc.
Track 00 through 04 and all tracks beyond track
16 are written with all 26 IDs on the centerline
of each track.
Data set label 09 defines tracks 05 through 16
as HD ALIGN TRACKS. Actually, tracks 05,
10, 11, and 16 are head alignment guard band
tracks.

8-14

Data set label 00009 defines tracks 06 through 09
as HO ALIGN.
Also, data set label 10 defines tracks 12 through
15 as HO ALIGN.
Records and IDs are written off-track centerline
on all 12 tracks, either OUT away from the disk
center hole, or IN toward the disk center hole.
Tracks 11 through 16 are written farther off-track
than are tracks 05 through 10.
A.

An identifier field, called a disk track IO,is
written at the beginning of each record location
in every track when a disk is initialized. There
are 26 10 fi elds per track. Each 10 fiel d has ~
track number 10 and one of the 26 record num~ber IDs for that track.

Model 3/4 Diagnostics Diskettes
These two diskettes are described in the Model
3 and 4 part of this chapter.

PN 1619022

Tracks 06 through 09 (also tracks 12

2.

No odd numbered IDs are written.
No even numbered records are written.

Tracks 10 and 16 (Guard Bands):
1.

Odd numbered IDs are written
OUT (toward track 09 or 15).
Even numbered records are written
OUT (toward track 09 or 15).

2.

No even numbered IDs are written.
No odd numbered records are written.

Matching record messages refer to each other in
pairs; that is, record 1 refers to record 2, and
record 2 refers to record 1; record 3 refers to
record 4, and record 4 refers to record 3; and
so on.
Any-two record messages of a matching pair (with
their corresponding IDs) are written on the disk
1800 from each other. (See Figure 1.)
The guard band tracks (05, 10, 11, and 16) have
only 13 IDs each. No record messages are displayable from the guard band tracks. IDs have
no corresponding records. (See B and C.)
Typical Example for Successful Display of a Pair
of Matching Record Messages:
As explained above, each odd lOis written OUT
and its corresponding odd record is written IN.
Each even 10 is written IN and its corresponding
even record is written OUT. Therefore, the correct display of a pair of matching record messages
results when the read/write head can read correctly an OUT 10 and its IN record, and then
1800 away on the track can also read an IN
10 and its OUT record. (See Figure 1.)
The total number of pairs of matching record
messages that can be read for anyone of the four
tracks gives an indication of two mechanical
conditions:
1.

Head location in reference tothe track
cente rl ine.

2.

How well the disk is centered while it
is clamped to the disk drive hub.

Display Data Head Alignment Service Check
Note: The machine must be operative enough
to be able to read and display track 00, and also
to seek and to read other tracks on a diskette.
Use the ML to troubleshoot machine malfunctions.

Can a pair of two matching record messages be
read correctly from each of the four tracks?

3713 PRINTER TEST PROGRAMS

Section 2 - Leading zeros suppression test.

Refer to 3717 M LM for 3717 test procedures.

Section 3 - Substitution of asterisks for leading
zeros test.

The printer test programs are divided into eight
sections:
Section 1 - Print a 132-character line.
The 3741 may have either 128- or
132-character position ROS for the
printer. When the machine has 132
ROS, any characters that are printed
that exceed the print line overprint
the first positions of the line. For example, if 132 characters are printed
on a 120-position printer, positions
121 through 132 overprint 1 through
12.
When the machine has 128 ROS, any
characters that are printed up to 128
characters overprint the first positions
of the line. For example, if 128 characters are printed on a 120-position
printer, positions 121 through 128
overprint positions 1 through 8. When
a 132-character line is printed using
128 ROS, the positions up to 128 overprint; positions 129 through 132 cause
an extra line feed. For example, a 132character line printed with 128 ROS
on a 120-position printer, positions
121 through 128 overprint positions 1
through 8, and positions 129 through
132 cause an extra line feed (blank
line).

Organizational Flowchart

Please read these instructions carefully before proceeding with the RFTs.
If you are experiencing problems on your machine,
it is very important to use the MAPs prior to running the RFTs. The MAPs will have you run the
RFTs at the proper time. Use MAP 7-7 for both
BSCA and EBSCA.
The procedures in this section allow you to do the
following:
Poi nt-to-poi nt checkout (BSCA/E BSCA)
- Multipoint checkout (EBSCA)
The above checkouts can be done with the following options:
Using existing dial up or modem.
Using 1200 TDAT to replace the line adapter
or 3872.
Using 1200 TDAT as an acoustic coupler to
allow running with your line adapter (under
cover modem) to eliminate the line coupler
and local loop.
Recording a test tape using 1200 TDAT.
Checking offline using a prerecorded test tape
and 1200 TDAT.
Using System/3 LCA (1200 TDAT cannot be
used).
The flowchart shows the organization of the RFT
procedures and options available.

Display Transmit Buffers

The machine monitors for 'data set ready'. When

After sending initial PADs and SYNs, the

The adapter generates three tests:
1.

It generates a serial-by-bit test sequence
on transmit data line which is wrapped
back to receive data. This received data
is shifted into the BSCA SERDES and
establishes character sync, character buffering, and CRC generation on receive.

2.

It then loads a sequence of bytes, as in
transmit mode, and monitors the transmit
data line to ensure that the correct serial
bits are transmitted. This checks the
character buffering, CRC generation, and
SERDES in a transmit operation.

3.

If the multipoint feature is installed, it
generates a serial-by-bit selection sequence. When the machine adapter correctly decodes the selection, it causes
the audible alarm to sound.

F
Press FUNCT SEL upper
COMM

W
If the remote end '3741 was set up in test 4, the
receiving station shouid be displaying the A, B,
C, 0, E, F characters. '

A successful test results in posting WC and (if
multipoint is installed) sounding the audible
alarm. The audible alarm automatically turns
off after about five seconds.
If WI is posted, or W is still displayed after two
seconds, or WC is posted but the alarm fails to
sound or turn off (if multipoint is installed), a
hardware failure is indicated.

Test 3 - Modem Wrap
This test causes a local wrap on an IBM 3872
modem.
To initiate the test:
Enter 3
Press FUNCT SEL upper
COMM
W
The adapter raises the '+test' line to the 3872
to make a local loop. The adapter then generates a logic 1 level for one minute and monitors
the output (received data). It then generates
a' logic 0 level and monitors the output. If the
machine posts a WI and returns to index (X R)
mode in less than 1-1/2 minutes, or posts a W
error that remains after 2-1/2 minutes, an error
exists. If the test is completed without error,
it automatically returns to read index (X R)
mode in about 2 minutes. This test checks the
transmit, scrambler, de-scrambler, and receives
functions in the 3872. When the test is in progress, the OPE RATE light comes on in the 3872.

This test can be used to receive and display
data with test 1 being used on the remote
end as described in Test 1.
It can also be used to check IDs or addresses
sent from the remote end. If the remote end
sends

Test 4 - Receive and Display Characters
This'test provides the capability to display characters received at the communications adapter
interface.

it

3.

A CRe checking sequence is started by receiving
a STX, SOH, or OLE-STX character and is ended
by receiving ETB, ETX, OLE-ETB or OLE-ETX
characters. 'The two bytes following the ending
characters are assumed to be the block check
characters (BCC). The adapter compares its
computed BeC to the two bytes received. If
they compare, it displays a single hex '00' byte
in place of the BCes. If they do not compare,
the adapter displays a single, hex 'F F' character.

Note: The Bees are never displayed and
character phase is aborted after the BCCs.
4.

Once character synchronization is established, all characters received in that transmission will be displayed correctly. If
another transmission is received, it may
not be displayed correctly because the test
does not reset character synchronization
between transmissions. For example, if
a remote station sent an EOT sequence,
stopped transmitting, and then sent a
poll sequence, only the EOT sequence
would be displayed correctlv because the
test did not reset character synchronization
between transmissions. However, if the remote station sent the EDT and poll sequences
as one transmission, it would all be displayed
correctly. In test 4, a continuous sequence
should be sent and received.

Pressing any key, except RESET, during the
test causes the test to pause such that the particular characters being displayed can be
examined. Pressing that key again causes the
test to continue and subsequent received
characters are displayed. Pressing the RESET
key causes the test to terminate and return to
read index mode.

Characters after a CRC checking sequence
are not displayed, character phase is
aborted, and another
P P S S
AAYY
DON N
sequence is required.

After character sync, all subsequent received
characters are displayed. Pressing any key,
except RESET, during the test causes the
test to stop so that particular characters can
be examined. Pressing that key again allows
the test to continue. Pressing the RESET
key causes the test to terminate.

I D feature card or the multipoint address card.
- To perform the test:
Enter 5
Press FUNCT SEL upper
COMM

W
The characters will be displayed.
If multipoint is installed (multipoint jumper on
installed position and address card installed), the
test displays the poll address character jumpered
on the card, followed by the corresponding
select character. Note that in normal multipoint
addressing, the character (poll or select) must be
sent twice.
If the terminal I D feature is installed, the test
displays the three I D characters jumpered on
the feature card. For example, if lower case
abc were jumpered on the card, the hex chara'eter representation would be displayed. Also,
the complete I D for the machine would be vabc.
The lower cas'e v denotes the terminal as a
3741 with the remaining three characters
identifying the particular 3741.
If neither feature is installed, the test should
display three hex '00' characters denoting no
address characters for the machine.
Pressing the RESET key causes a return to read

3) can then be displayed using CE mode (display buffers) or by using select program mode .. Note that
only the first 512-byte buffer is filled whereas
two 512-byte buffers are used in communications. The following examples illustrate the
detailed operation of the test.

Example 1
Using transmit selected records program and
displaying using select program mode:
- Power off, wait 5 seconds, and power on (to
clear buffers).
- Set up a test data set whose record length

Service Aids - 3741 With 1200 bps Line
Adapter/CBS Coupler
Connection of the 3741 or 3747 with 1200 bps
line adapter to the switched telephone network
requires a data access arrangement (DAA) type
CBS, usually referred to as a "coupler". The
coupler is provided and installed by the telephone company. Most commonly used coupler
types are the GDC 1001A, or Western Electric
1001 A (series 5 or later, or equivalent).
Two options are available on the coupler. They
must be specified by the customer when ordering and strapped by the telephone company
when installing:

1.

Line controlled by coupler. This allows
the transfer of data when the handset of
the attached telephone is cradled.

2.

Ringer connected on the line side of the
exclusion key. This causes the telephone
to ring on an incoming call.

Special Considerations:

1.

The couplers must be mounted vertically
on a flat vertical surface because of mercury relays in the coupler. (This may
change with newer models of couplers.)

2.

The telephone company must strap the
coupler for a predetermined transmit level
for each installation and indicate this level
on the cover of the coupler. The attaching 1200 bps line adapter must be adjusted to this indicated dB level (transmit card and autoanswer card). If the
level is not indicated on the coupler's
cover, advise the customer to contact the
telephone company for this information.

3.

CBS type couplers have their own power
supply (standard). The customer provides
a suitably located AC outlet.

4.

Do not remove the coupler covers. The
points of demarcation are the terminal
lugs attached to the interface cable from
the 1200 bps line adapter.

5.

The cable from the 1200 bps line adapter
to the coupler is supplied by I BM with the
line adapter.

When defining CBS coupler interface problems,
the points of demarcation are the terminal lugs
attached to the cable end at the CBS coupler.
Under no conditions should the coupler's
cover be removed, or any attempt be made to
meter or scope signals within the coupler.
When a problem is defined to the coupler, it
is the customer's responsibility to contact the
telephone company for corrective action.
The following procedures will be helpful in
defining a problem on the coupler interface.

Note: Valid voltages for an EIA interface are:
+3 to +25 volts range for up level
-3 to -25 volts range for down level
The voltage swing usually found on coupler
interface leads is +8 volts up level to -8 volts
down level with a small amount of AC ripple
except on data tip and data ring.

Problems With the Interface to Coupler

D.

Symptom:

Dial in on autoanswer, go 'off
hook', short answertone, a
delay, then answertone.

Check:

CCT in transition region,
has very large glitch.

How:

Same as for previous symptom. CCT output on the
AA card should be only one
pulse going from down to
up level.

Coupler Cut Through
A.

B.

C.

Symptom:

3741 or 3747 set up for
autoanswer. Dial in, modem
(line adapter) goes 'off hook',
no answertone heard.

Check:

CCT delay, should be approximately 2 seconds but
not exceed 5 seconds.

How:

Use a scope. Trigger scope
on 'off hook' going plus,
look at CCT going plus. Set
scope for 1 sec/div.

Symptom:

3741 or 3747 set up for
autoanswer. Dial in, get
answertone back immediately.

Check:

CCT delay. Probably has no
delay at all.

How:

Use a scope. Same as previous
symptom.

Symptom:

Dial in autoanswer. Auto~
answer answers; nothing
happens.

Check:

Glitching of coupler cut
through in transition region
(-3 to +3 volts)

How:

Use a scope. Set scope for
5v/div, .5 ms/div.
Channel 1 - CCT interface lead
Channel 2 - CCT output on
autoanswer card
Scope CCT on AA card and
look for double pulse."

Switch Hook

A.

Symptom:

Dial in on autoanswer, phone
is busy.

Check:

Switch hook. The 1200 bps
line adapter requires that
'switch hook' be off (down
level) when phone is cradled,
on (up level) when handset
is lifted from cradle.

How:

Scope or meter 'switch hook'
lead, pick up handset. Lead
should go from approximately
-8 volts to +8 volts.

I/O ADAPTER DIAGNOSTIC DISKETTE
(P/N 2469460)
This diskette aids the CE in diagnosing troubles in
the I/O adapter. The diskette contains:
Three programs to permit checkout of the I/O
adapter circuits and cable by connecting the
output lines to the input lines using a wrap
connector. The programs are identical except
for ending sequences.
For the 3741 Mod 3/4, an ACL program
(ACLT20) for loading the wrap test. (On
Models 1 and 2, the test is loaded manually.)
Scratch space for use by the System/3
diagnostics.
- ACL tests for Mod 3/4

I/O Adapter Wrap Test Load and Run Procedure
foi: Model 1 and 2 Program
i

-f

Load the I/O adapter diagnostic diskette in
drive 1.
T Record advance_ to sector 10.
Press fUNCTSgl,. lower
I

Options

Wrap Test Program Instructions

In addition to the single-pass operation described
previously, a stop-and-go operation or a loop operation can be selected by starting in sector 11 or
sector 12, respectively. The three wrap tests on
the diskette differ only in the ending sequence.
(This provides a backup program if the program
starting in sector 10 is damaged.)
Single-pass operation (normal) is selected by
starting in sector 10.
Stop-and-go operation is selected by starting
in sector 11. If the test runs without error,
the program stops with a G4 displayed. Pressing RESET causes the program to make another
pass. Holding ALPHA SHI FT and N UM SHI FT
while pressing RESET, ends the test.
Loop operation is selected by starting in sector 12. After loading, the test loops until
stopped by an error or by holding ALPHA
SHIFT and NUM SHIFT while pressing
RESET.

The 10110wing character transfer instructions apply
to th:l wrap test contained on the I/O adapter diagnostic diskette.

Notes:
1.
To re-execute the program, start at this
point but select program A rather than
program 1.
To enter trace mode, which allows you to
single-step through the remaining program,
hold ALPHA SHI FT and NUM SHI FT while
pressing FUNCT SEL lower. This must be
done before pressing RESET. Each time
RESET is pressed, one instruction is executed.
A J5 code with XX 0000 14 indicates that
the wrap connector might not be installed.
A J5 code with XX 01 00 14 ind icates that
the cables are still connected to the attachment.

Valid Error Codes for the Wrap Test
Invalid instructions are used for error codes (for
example, a U5 is an invalid instruction because U
should be followed only by 0,1,2, or 3). Whenever a test fails, the program jumps to an invalid
instruction (error code). The invalid instructions
cause the 3741 to sto p with a flashi ng screen and
display the instruction that caused the error along
with the contents of registers 0 through 3. Valid
error codes are:

When enter mode is selected', both the current
record buffer and the preceding record buffer
are filled with blanks. Keyed characters are then
accumulated in the current record buffer until an
entire record is entered. The record can be changed or corrected if record advancing hasn't occurred.
At the time record advancing occurs, the current
record is moved to the preceding record buffer,
and written to disk. The image of the last record
entered remains in the preceding reCOrd\'buffer
until record advancing occurs again.

OFFLINE FIELD TOTALS
The offline field totals feature is used to obtain
totals from records that have already been entered,
updated, or verified. The offline field totals
feature uses the three 19-digit accumulators to add,
under program control, data in specific fields into
the assigned accumulator. A field total may include any number 0-9 and any of the 256 EBDCIC
codes. All codes with low order 4 bits equalling
0-9 are added with a value 0-9. All other codes
have the value of zero. All fields in which the
units position codes have the high order bits equal
to A, B, or D, are negative fields.
The offline field totals feature allows the user to
read field totals from an accumulator into a
record with or without resetting the accumulator.

If AUTO REC ADV is turned off, the field totals
operation stops and the record following the last
record processed is displayed. Press REC ADV
to process the record displayed and advance to
the next record. Pressing RESET during a field
totals operation changes the mode to update mode.
At the end of a field total operation, the accumulators retain the field totals. If the end-of-data
address is reached, the data set label is displayed
and the mode changed to read index mode.

except those followed by a number. Field totals
fields are identified by following a field definition
character with a 1, 2, or 3 which specifies which of
the three accumulators is to be used. The second
and third positions after the field definition character can be used to cause the field to be accumulated into two or three accumulators.
The low order 14 digits of a field totals field are
added into the specified accumulators. Overflow
beyond 19 digits in an accumulator is not indicated. Deleted records are bypassed. Disk errors
and invalid mask statement errors stop the field

Writing Field Totals Into Records on Disks
After field totals are accumulated in the accumulators, the contents of the accumulators can be
written into a field in the record on disk. This
is done by programming the field in the record
into which the total is to be read with the field
definition character S followed by 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
or 9. If 4, 5, or 6 is specified, the contents of the
accumulator does not change. If 7, 8, or 9 is
specified, the accumulator is reset to zero. (4
and 7 specify accumulator 1, 5 and 8 specify accumulator 2, and 6 and 9 specify accumulator 3.)
If the field in the record that the accumulated
total is to be read into is shorter than the accumulated total, only the low order digits of the accumulator are read into the field in the current
record buffer. If the field in the record is larger
than the accumulated total (19 digits), the total
is right-adjusted in the field and the remainder of
the field is filled with zeroes.

The last ESC function is executed by the next new

If the print buffer is filled with 128 characters and
the next character is not a new line/line feed, or
ESC sequence, a carriage return/line feed function and a pending escape function is performed.

The 3715 can print to EOD from disk 1 if the
entire data set is contained as one diskette. If
the data set is contained as multiple diskettes
and continuous printing is desired, then there
must be a C in position 45 of the data set label.
In this case when the end of the disk is reached,
the printer will stop, and the 3741 will post a J
error and a status of PI. The operator then keys
RESET which causes the error to be reset and
cause a return to index. Next, the disk is removed
and the next disk inserted, then key:
FUNCT SEL upper
NUM SHIFT (hold down when keying next
key)
PRINTTO EOD
This will cause the printer to continue (AUTO
REC ADV switch must be on). This procedure
can be repeated regardless of how many disks
the data set occupies.

Disk 1 and Disk 2
Continuous printing can be done as mentioned
in the last section Disk 1 Only, but in this case
a disk must not be present in drive 2. If a disk
is present in drive 2, the control automatically
passes to drive 2, reads the first valid header
label of the index track, and prints the data
set indicated by that label. Further continuation is then via drive 1 or drive 2 at the operator
option.
All print operations must start on drive 1 and
can be continued on drive 2. No operator print
function can begin on drive 2. If both drives
have a disk present and an operation is started,
the two disks are treated as one disk of double
size. All operations will continue to the second
disk and terminate the same as a system with
only 1 drive.

A null character is a hex 00. A blank character is
a hex 40.

xA

Format data field: Loads the buffer from the record with the number of characters
specified by the number preceding the A format control character.

must have an N& (ampersand) in positions 001 and 002.

xX

Insert blanks: Loads the buffer with the number of blanks preceding the X format
control character.

xY

Skips characters from the record: Skips over, with no action, the number of characters in the record specified by the number preceding the Y format control character.

9-76
. 9-77

Note: It is not permissible to skip beyond the record boundaries.
xF

Reverse skips characters from the record: Skips over, in reverse direction (towards
position 001) with no action, the number of characters in the record specified by
the number preceding the F format control character.

Note: It is not permissible to skip beyond the record boundaries.
N or ~

No-op: No operation is performed.

Note: Position 001 of the card read/punch programs must contain an N.
Q

Terminates format program: This format control character must be used at the end
of every format program.

xl

Insert characters: Loads the characters following the I into the buffer. The number
preceding the I format control character indicates the number of characters to be
loaded to the buffer.

C

Read or punch a card: A card is read or punched before the format control program
is terminated.

Note: The pointers in program buffer 9 and the current record buffer are reset to
position 001 each time a C is encountered in the format control program. That is,
when the format control program contai ns the format control character C, the format control defined after the C must start from position one of the buffer.

Note: The x represents a variable value (from 1 to 128) that is the multi"ple of the control characters to be
executed. If a control character is preceded by a blank, N, or another control character, the multiple is assumed to be one.

N& (ampersand) must be in positions 001 and

A Q must be the last character in the program

When indirect selection of the Data Recorder program is desired, do the following:
1)
Program level A must be loaded
in a manner that when a certain
keying program is sel ected the
Data Recorder program level
number is in the position of program level A corresponding to
the keying format level.

2)

With program level A coded as
above (where YYY is a number
from 1 to 128) the YYY character in the record determines the
program level to be selected.
For example, if program level A
is coded as follows:
%07L6L6
Then the seventh character
(counting blanks) will be used
to select the program level. If
the seventh character is a number from 1 through 8, then that
level number will be selected. 11
the seventh character is not a
number from 1 through 8, then
program level 1 is selected.

3)

Note: This allows the operator to select a
program level for entering or updating data.
Then when the operator initiates a card read
or punch operation, the card read or punch
format control program assigned in program
level A is automatically used. After the Data
Recorder operation is completed, the selected
key entry program level is again active.

Note: For punch operations, if a format control
program positions the data beyond column 80 (on
the IBM 129) or 96 (on the IBM 5496) in the buffer, that data is not punched and no error code is
displayed.

2.

If program level 2 is manually selected, program level 2 will be used for all Data Recorder operations and program level 0 will be used
for all key entry programs.

3.

If program level 1 is manually selected, no
Data Recorder formatting will occur (even if
program level 1 is a Data Recorder program).
There must be a value coded in the appropriate position of program level A before Data
Recorder programs can be selected.

Meaning

xA

Format data field: Loads the buffer from the record with the number of characters
specified by the number preceding the A format control character.

N&

Identifies read/write format programs: All read/write format programs must have
an N& (ampersand) in positions 001 and 002.

xB

Format data field with suppression of leading zeros: Loads the buffer from the record with the number of characters specifi 3d by the number preceding the B format
control character, but loads blanks instead of leading zeros.

xX

Insert blanks: Loads the buffer with the number of blanks preceding the X format
control character.

xY

Skips characters from the record: Skips over, with no action, the number of characters in the record specified by the number preceding the Y format control character.

9-109
9-110
9-110

Note: It is not permissible to skip beyond the record boundaries.
xF

Reverse skips characters from the record: Skips over, in reverse direction (towards
position 001) with no action, the number of characters in the record specified by
the number preceding the F format control character.

Note: It is not permissible to skip beyond the record boundaries.
Nor

l1S

No-op: No operation is performed.

Note: Position 001 of the read/write programs must contain an N.
Q

Terminates format program: This format control character must be used at the end
of every format program.

xl

Insert characters: Loads the characters following the I into the buffer. The number
preceding the I format control character indicates the number of characters to be
loaded to the buffer.

C

Read or write: A record is read or written before the format control program is
terminated.

Note: The pointers in program buffer 9 Hnd the current record buffer are reset to
position 001 each time a C is encountered in the format control program. That is,
when the format control program contains the format control character C, the format control defined after the C must start from position one of the buffer.

Note: The x represents'! variable value (from 1 to 128) that hi the multiple of the control characters to be
executed. If a control character is preceded by a blank, N, or 3nother control character, the multiple is assumed to be one.

Program level A must be loaded
in a manner that when a certain
keying program is selected the
program level number is in the

With program level A coded as
above (where YYY is a number
from 1 to 128) the YYY character in the record determines the
program level to be selected.
For example, if program level A
is coded as follows:
%07L:SL:S
Then the seventh character
(counting blanks) will be used
to select the program level. If
the seventh character is a number from 1 through 8, then that
level number will be selected. If
the seventh character is not a
number from 1 through 8, then
program level 1 is selected.

Note: This allows the operator to select a
program level for entering or updating data.
Then when the operator initiates a read or
write operation, the read or write format
control program assigned in program level
A is automatically used. After the operation is completed, the selected key entry
program level is again active.

INTRODUCTION - How to use
The IBM 3740 Data Entry System is a family of
devices that provides a key-to-disk-to-tape data
handling capability. This is performed in two
stages. During the first stage, the data is keyed
onto a small flexible magnetic disk via one of the
data stations. During the second stage, the data
on the disk is transferred to 1/2-inch computer
tape by the data converter.
The two data entry stations are the IBM 3741
and the IBM 3742. The IBM 3742 Dual Data'
Station has two keying stations in one machine
frame. The IBM 3741 Data Station has one
keying station. The 3742 provides basic functions similar to the IBM 029, 059, and 129. The
3741 provides these basic functions along with
additional features such as a printer and a
BSCA (Binary Synchronous Communications
Adapter) unit.

The IBM 3747 Data Converter feeds, reads and
stacks the diskettes. The data it reads is transferred to 9-track computer compatible magnetic
tape. The 3747 can also be equipped with a
BSCA unit.
The BSCA unit installed on a 3741 or 3747
allows data transfer between these units or between these units and a CPU equipped with
BSCA. A BSCA equipped 3741 or 3747 can
communicate with another BSCA equipped
3741 or 3747.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

The manual contains all documents necessary
to maintain the 3741 Data Station. The material
is arranged as shown.
Page 1-1 (start of call) leads you into a failureanalysis procedure based on the guideline: Start
with the highest-order symptom that appears after
power on. Begin every repair action at start of call.
Answering the questions asked, following the paths
indicated by Yes and No answers, and performing
the actions required, leads you, in most cases, to
the cause of machine failure.
Start of Call guides you to the correct Maintainance Analysis Procedure (MAP) via the Symptom
Index, or to the Machine Checkout procedure.

o

Symptom Index
A list of machine-failure symptoms is divided
into four categories:

Start of Call page 1-1) insures that the highest priority symptom index group is used.
Use the most consistent symptom after
power on. Use the last error code to be
displayed.
MAP are designed to locate a F RU that has
a single mechanical or electrical failure. If
the symptom changes after an adjustment
or F R U replacement, use Start of Call with
the new symptom.
If you cannot decide which MAP to use,
the Machine Checkout Procedure (page 7-1 )
will guide you to the right MAP.
When asked to probe or measure mUltiple
points in a table - probe or measure only
until a failure is indicated.
The probe UP and DOWN lights will momentarily flash on during power on if the probe
is connected to its machine power source.
Please ignore.

Disks that contain prerecorded record addresses
are known as initialized disks. Initialized disks
actually contain the following information at
each record location:

Track 00 is the index track and is reserved for
descriptive information about the data on the
disk. The assignment of the records on the index
track is:

•

Record 1-2
Record 3
Records 4-6
Record 7
Records 8-26

D

The IBM diskette is a packaged Mylar* disk.
Information is stored magnetically on the disk
surface which is coated with magnetic oxide. The
disk is free to rotate inside the package. The
package has access holes for rotating the disk, for
read/write head contact, and for index hole
sensing.
Information is arranged on the disk in tracks.
A track is a circular path on the disk surface. Information is magnetically written or read on a
track by a read/write head as the disk rotates.
Each disk has 77 tracks (tracks 00 through 76).11
Track 00 (the index track) is always physically the
outermost track from the center of the disk. A
maximum of two tracks may be identified as
unusable (bad) tracks. Usable tracks are numbered
00 through 73 in sequence, skipping over any bad
tracks. Tracks 01 through 73 are used for data
entry.

The last two bytes of all 10 and data fields are
cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bytes used to
verify read operations.

II

There are 26 records, numbered 01 through 26,
on each track
Therefore, each record on the
disk has a definite address consisting of a track
and record number. This address is recorded at
the record's physical location on the disk.

The 3741 requires an initialized disk for all
operations except the initialize (optional feature)
operation. This feature allows the operator to
prepare an initialized disk on the 3741. All
disks are initialized prior to shipping to customers.

Head Load Actuator Assembly

PN 1619134

m

The head load actuator presses the disk against
the read/write head.

Disk Drive
The disk drive provides the 3741 with the ability
to read and write on the disk.
To accomplish this, the disk drive has the following major components:

Disk D.rive Cover

IZ1

The disk drive cover permits insertion and removal of the disk and clamps the disk to the disk
drive.

Light Emitting Diode (LED) Assembly
Phototransistor

II

mand

When the disk cover is closed, the continuous infrared light emitted from the LED is directed towards
the phototransistor assembly. Once every revolution, the index hole in the disk allows light
from the LED to reach the phototransistor. The
phototransistor sends index pulses to the MPU.
The index pulses signal the MPU that the disk
is rotating.

Disk Collet Assembly

m

When the disk cover is closed, the spring
loaded collet centers and clamps the disk to
the disk drive hub.

File Control (FC) Card Assembly

II

The disk drive file control card provides circuits
for the stepper motor, head load actuator, and
write and erase heads. It also provides the
amplifiers for the phototransistor and read head.
These are all under control of the MPU.

The head load actuator assembly consists of
a magnet and armature. During a read or write
operation, the head load actuator is energized
and allows the pressure pad arm to push the
disk against the read/write head. At the same
time, the head load actuator armature forces
the disk package against the disk to clean the
disk. While not reading or writing, the head load
actuator is de-energized and holds the pressure
pad assembly away from the disk to reduce wear
to the disk surface or the read/write head.
Variable Frequency Oscillator (VFO) Card

m

The VFO is used at all times while reading.
The VFO is used while reading the ID field
during the write operation. The VFO card
separates data signals from the clock signals
received from the Fe card. The data signals
from the V FO card are sent to the disk controller and transferred to the data buffer. Both
drives use the same VFO card.

Motor and Drive

III

The motor and drive rotate the disk.

Stepper Motor Assembly

D

The stepper motor moves the read/write head
from track to track. The stepper motor wheel
is permanently mounted on the end of the stepper
motor shaft. The stepper motor shaft turns in
increments of 900 in either direction under the
control of access pulses. The stepper motor
wheel engages the leadscrew wheel. When the
stepper motor rotates 900 , it causes the leadscrew
to rotate 900 • The head carriage assembly then
moves up or down one track on. the disk.

Preload Spring

13

The preload spring loads the leadscrew to ensure
head alignment with the disk.

Limit Stops

II

The upper limit stop prevents the head from being
driven more than 1/2 track beyond track 76. The
lower limit stop prevents the head from being
driven more than 1 track lower than track 00.

Head and Carriage Assembly

III

The head and carriage assembly provides read,
write, and erase functions.

Leadscrew Nut and Spring

III

The leadscrew nut and spring loads the head and
carriage assembly to ensure head alignment with
the disk.
Cover Interlock SwitchED
The normally closed points of the cover interlock
switch are in parallel with the phototransistor (see
schematic on page 11-9).
This switch prevents index pulses until a diskette
is fully loaded in the disk drive. (Diskette installed and the cover latched closed,)

OPERATING SEQUENCE

5.

1.

Ac and dc power comes on under control
of the 3741 power on/off switch. A
diskette can be inserted or removed with
power up or down.

2.

Load a diskette and close the cover.
Closing of the cover presses the collet
into the drive hub l!1 thus clamping the
disk in place. With power up, the disk turns
counterclockwise as viewed at the head
side (back) of the disk drive.

3.

4.

m

823146

PN 1619138

For each access command, the stepper
motor mrotates the leadscrew 11900 •
This moves the read head one track position. Clockwise rotation (looking down on
the disk drive unit) moves the head up,
counterclockwise rotation moves it down.
Two adjacent access lines must be energized for an overlapping period of 50
ms to rotate the motor 90 0 . After accessing to a track and prior to a read or
write operation, the two lines must be
energized for an additional 100 ms. Access
codes to cause rotation to a given track
are shown below

II .

After a 10-second delay from power on,
index pulses
are read once every disk
revolution (nominally, every 166.7 ms).

6.

To initiate a read or write operation, the
'+ head engage' line
is activated. This
allows the pressure pad assembly 131 to
push the disk against the head
After
80 ms delay, data can be gated into the
system.

If any read or write command does not
execute within two index pulses after it
is issued, the command is automatically
reset.

7.

The pressure pad"is lifted two index pulses
after completion of the last read, write or
access operation to reduce disk wear unless
another read or write command is issued.

FORMATION OF CHARACTERS
Display

The CRT printed circuit board BI contains the
amplifiers and drivers required to "generate,
accelerate, deflect, and intensify the beam in
the CRT

VieWi~r

Assembly

D.

The MPU synchronizes the amplifiers and drivers
so that intelligent data is displayed on the CRT
screen.
The electron beam, created by"the cathode and
high voltage converter
is deflected by a
yoke II . The yoke contains four separate
coils. The function of each coil is:

m,

1.

The vertical coil positions the beam to the
line to be displayed (one of six lines).

2.

The horizontal coils (master and slave) deflect the beam across the CRT screen on
the line selected by the vertical yoke.

3.

The character coil deflects the beam up
and down over the height of the character
as the beam moves across the screen.

Characters appear on the CRT screen as a result
of the MPU sending the display unit video dot
pulses synchronized with the movement of the
electron beam. These pulses are applied to the
cathode and result in intensification of spots or
dots on the screen to form characters.

DISPLAY UNIT FUNCTIONAL CIRCUITS

Circuit Description

Circuits packaged on the display unit printed circuit board accelerate, deflect, and intensify the
electron beam. These circuits are:

The high voltage oscillator ~ is free running.
The purpose of the oscillator and the high voltage
converter ~ is to generate the 400 and 12,000volt levels from the 12-volt supply. A time delay
circuit on the CRT circuit card prevents the high
voltage oscillator from starting for approximately
15 seconds after machine is turned on, to prevent
damage to the CRT during filament warm-up. A
current detecting circuit on the CRT circuit
board monitors the high voltage oscillator current at all times. If the oscillator current exceeds
the maximum limits, the oscillator is turned off
for approximately 15 seconds. The high voltage
converter has two outputs. One output is labeled
12,000 volts, the other is labeled 400 volts dc.
The 12,000 volts is used to accelerate the electron
beam. The 400 volts is used for brightness control. ~

d~t amplifier. ~
Kf]

lEI

Functional Sequence
All functions except the high voltage oscillator
and brightness control are directly synchronized
by the MPU.
MPU signals to the CRT circuit board occur in
the following sequence for each of the six displayable lines.
1.

MPU activates one or more of the input lines
to the vertical line control function~ The
electron beam is defl,ected vertically to the
selected line location on the CRT screen

m.

2.

MPU then activates the horizontal deflection amplifier. This starts the beam moving
across the CRT screen (left to right)

Ill.

3.

MPU issued repetitive pulses to the character (wiggle sweep) control. This function
causes the electron beam to be rapidly defiected up and down as it is moved across
the CRT screen. The distance of deflection is equal to the height of a character

m.

4.

The brightness control is part of a voltage divider
for the 400 volts dc from the converter. The
center tap voltage of brightness control pin 10
is fed to the video dot amplifier.
It controls
the bias voltage on the cathode of the CRT on
pin 17. ~he bias voltage can be varied from approximately +30 volts to approximately +120
volts by turning the brightness control potentiometer.
The lower the voltage is on pin 17,
the greater the light intensity will be on the face of
the CRT.

PN 1619154

12-4

A wiggle sweep circuit His used to control the
height of the characters displayed on the CRT.
The MPU controls the duration of each wiggle
sweep cycle. The electron beam is deflected (by
the character yoke) upward and downward 10
times for each character displayed on the CRT.
Wiggle sweep pulses and video dot pulses are
synchronized by the control unit to formed characters on the face on the CRT. The dot pattern for
an H is shown in the following diagram. Also, show
in the diagram is the dot pattern for a cursor in
the position immediately following the H character. There are 64 characters which can be displayed on the CRT. On Katakana machines
there are an additional 64 Katakana characters.
Additional characters are used within the
machine, such as characters that are entered
from the keyboard in hexadecimal code. These
characters are displayed as a cross hatch pattern.

The video dot amplifier
is used to amplify the
video pulses sent by the MPU. When a dot is to
be indicated on a face of the CRT, the MPU issues a negative going signal for 444 nanoseconds
to the video dot amplifier. The negative pulse
is amplified and sent to the cathode of the CRT.
The negative pulse-forces the positive bias on the
cathode down to a negative level, allowing the
electron beam to be sent to the face of the CRT.
The MPU holds the video line at a (+) level during horizontal retrace to block out video during
retracing.

~ 1 Character Position--.j

II

Horizontal deflection
ryf the electron beam is
accomplished with two horizontal coils (master
and slave
coil). These deflection coils
work together in a push/pull fashion as follows:

D

II

Assume the initial location of the electron beam
is at the extreme left side of the CRT screen.
1.

The MPU sends a (-) horizontal sweep
pulse to the CRT circuit board on pin
B10.

2.

The horizontal deflection amplifier applies
an increasing current to the master coil
and a decreasing current to the slave coil.
When the current in the two coils are approximately equal, the electron beam will
be in the center of the CRT screen. When
the master coil is maximum, the slave coil
current will be minimum and the electron
beam will be on the extreme right side of
the CRT screen.

3.

The MPU now sends a (+) horizontal
sweep pulse to the CRT circuit board on
pin B10 (retrace command).

The MPU issues dot pulses to the video dot
amplifier. The pulses combined with the
motion of the electron beam "wiggling"across the CRT screen form characters on
the CRT screen ltij.

4.

The horizontal deflection amplifier changes the current through the coils as follows: The master coil current decreases
and the slave coil current increases. The
electron beam will be at the extreme left
side of the CRT screen when the slave
coil current is maximum and the master
coil current is minimum.

The vertical step circuit
controls the vertical
location of the data line on the CRT. Three
vertical inputs control the location of this line.
The vertical inputs from the MPU are added by
the vertical control circuitry on the CRT printed
circuit board. The resulting output current is

tron beam to the appropriate location on the face
of the CRT. Below is a chart which identifies the
status of the three signal lines from the MPU to
the CRT circuit board for each of the six video
lines displayed on the face of the CRT. The
chart also shows the sequence in which the lines
are traced. A negative input causes current to
increase through the vertical yoke.

The total time to trace one horizontal line and
return the electron beam to the left is 4 milliseconds. Therefore, the time required to trace or
display six lines is 24 milliseconds and each line
is retraced or refreshed every 24 milliseconds.
The line refresh rate divided into 1 second gives
a frame (pi.cture) refreshment rate of approximately 42 times per second.

There is a scan number associated with each
key. The scan number for the M key is 39
(hex 271.

31
71
81
Fl

At M key scan time, the scan counter contains the binary value 39 (bits 32, 4, 2, and 1).
The character seen on the display during CE
mode is the hex representation of the key
address. To convert to hex, the character
buffer code is divided into two segments;
the upper four bits (128, 64, 32, and 16)
are considered one binary number (with
weight of 8. 4, 2, and 1). The lower four
bits are considered a second number.

The keyboard,' display unit, disk unit, and the
power supply are external to the MPU. The MPU
consists of the following functional units:
Microcontroller (sometimes called MPU)
R/W (read/write) storage/MPU interface
Keyboard attachment
Disk unit controller and VFO card
Display unit controller
R/W memory card

Keyboard

Disk unit
controller

These units are on the MPU planar (a full planar).
When special features are added, the MPU becomes
larger. An attachment half planar, feature half
planar, and Model 3/4 half planar may be included
in the MPU depending on the featur~s supplied.
The addition of the feature half planar adds two
functional units:
Printer controller
- BSCA controller and associated cards

Current Buffer to Disk*
- Current buffer to disk unit controller under
control of R/W storage/MPU interface.
- Disk unit controller to disk unit. All records
written on the diskette are write-checked under control of the microcontroller. The check
consists of reading the record and checking the
CRC that was written by the disk unit against
the CRC calculated by the microcontroller as
the record was read. The buffer is not involved
in the check.
For check operation, data flow is from the disk
unit into the disk unit controller where the
CRC is verified. This occurs one revolution
after the write operation.

M icrocontroller
The microcontroller in the MPU is central in nearly all 3741 operations. It is a computer that is program controlled and performs internal machine
operations such as testing and comparing data,
checking for machine errors, operating the input
and output devices, and storing and retrieving
data from R/W storage.
The programs that control the microcontroller are
permanently wired into read only storage (ROS)
hardware modules on the planar(s). When features are added to the basic 3741, ROS that contains the microprogram routines to support the
added features is added. Also, on features such as
BSCA, printer, and Models 3 and 4, registers are
connected to the data path for data transfer between the microcontroller and these features.

Both ROS and the microcontroller are needed to
perform machine operations. One is useless without the other. Please remember that when the
microcontroller is said to perform an operation, the
microcontroller is controlled by a ROS on the MPU
planar or one of the feature cards or half planars.
The microcontroller is controlled by only one ROS
program at a time as determined by the operation
being performed.
The microcontroller, under control of the ROS
controls all machine functions. It moves data
from the keyboard into a buffer. It moves data
into the display buffer and controls the display
attachment. It controls the printer and BSCA
operations, monitors machine and operator errors,
and posts error messages on the CRT when needed.
When features are added to the 3741, hardware is
usually added. For instance, feature A adds, to
the logic gate, a card containing ROS programs
that enable the microcontroller to perform operations such as verify, field totals, and production
statistics. The counters and buffers used for these
operations are storage areas within the R/W memory card already installed.

Function

The microcontroller receives data from the keyboard through the keyboard attachment on the
MPU planar .. The microcontroller analyzes the
data to find what is to be done with it. Control
information, such as the code for the record advance key, causes the microcontroller to perform
the desired function if all conditions are met.
(For example, the microcontroller would record
advance only if a diskette was loaded and ready.)
Data information is first checked. If the data is
DK for the operation, it is stored in the current
record buffer of R/W storage. If the data is not
DK, a keying error is displayed.

The RDS program that controls the MPU can be
located on anyone of several field replaceable
units (FRUs). For example, when a line is to be
printed, the operation starts in base machine
(Model 1 or 2) mode. The base machine RDS (on
the MPU planar) passes control of the MPU to the
printer RDS, in the feature half planar, to print
the line. When the operation is complete, the
printer Rds returns control of the MPU to the
base machine RDS, where the next step is started.

Units within the microcontroller in addition to
RDS are:
IXR (instruction decqde register)
- Storage registers
- IAR (instruction address register)
- ALU (arithmetic logic unit)

IXR accepts the 16-bit instruction from RDS, decodes it, and sets up the operation to be done. It
does this by selecting the registers to be used in
the instruction and then informing the arithmetic
logic unit (ALU) of the type operation to be done.
The register selection is done by first selecting the
module that contains the register and then selecting the register within the module. The ALU is informed of the type of operation (add, subtract,
etc) by the op code lines from the IXR.

ROS (Read Only Storage)
RDS is the area in the microcontroller where the
controlling program routines for machine functions
are permanently stored. Where extra features such
as printer, second disk, BSCA, etc, are added to the
basic 3741, additional RDS containing feature
functions is installed. The 3741 RDS program is
started every time the machine is powered-on.
The first part of the program is a basic diagnostic
routine (see Power-On Sequence and Diagnostic
Routine flowchart on page 14-2.18). The power
up RDS routine moves the disk head to track 00,
and checks the general purpose registers and the
first 2K bytes of R/W storage. The program then
goes into a loop waiting for disk insertion. The
instructions in the program are 16 bits long and
the lines used to carry the instructions are '-RDS
bits a thru 15'. The accessing and gating-out of
the instructions is achieved by '-address bits a
thru 14' (bit 5 not used) together with '+charge
array degate address' and '+flush array'. The
array pulses are originated in the clock module
and should be continuously pulsing. The 'address'
lines are controlled by the IAR, and their condition
is dependent on the address being accessed.

the input/output devices and have specific functions. Dthers are general purpose registers used in
internal microcontroller operations. Register selection is done by the IXR after it decodes the RDS
instruGtion. The module is selected first and then
the re!~ister within the module is selected by the
signal lines '+reg sel dec 0' and '+ reg sel dec l'
in binary combination. Gating to the module is
controlled by '-reg gate ctrl 0' and gating from the
module is controlled by '-reg gate ctrl 1 '. These
two continuously running signals originate in the
clock module.

IXR (Instruction Decode Register)

Storage Registers
These are 8-bit temporary storage devices. Additional registers are used when feature half planars
are installed. Some of the registers are used with

IAR (Instruction Address Register)
The IAR sets up the accessing of RDS to be either
self-incrementing or controlled by the microcontroller. Registers 1, 2, and 3 are within the IAR
module and are used for this purpose. If, for
example, the mac;hine is in enter mode and CE
mode is to be selEJcted, the request is made from
the kE!yboard. The microcontroller interprets the
FUNCT SEL and data key and loads the IAR registers with a value that will give the address lines to
access the CE-mode program-routine in RDS. Once
in the routine, thl~ IAR self-increments through the
instructions. The address lines are common to all
RDS in the machine. Feature RDS is accessed by
the same IAR, and all RDS instructions are decoded by the same IXR.

ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit)

The ALU sequer.ce of events and their timings is
as follows:

The ALU performs most of the operations done
within the MPU. It contains two registers, register
o and the B register, plus circuitry to perform all
logical functions - add, exclusive or, etc. The two
registers make up the A and B sides of the ALU.
In an add instruction one value is set into the A
side and the other value into the B side, the two
values are added, and the result appears as ~he
output of the ALU.

R-Time (previolJs instruction)
. . . . The add instruction is read out
of RDS and latched up in the
IXR. Registers 12 and 13 are s_elected, and the ALU is informed
that the operation will be an
add.

B-Time.

.

.

The contents of register 13 are
gated to the MPU data path and
into the B side of the ALU.

.

The contents of register 12 are
gated into the A side of the ALU
and the result is formed.

R-Time.

into register 12. The instruction
for the reset operation is gated
out of RDS and latched up in the

This card provides storage for the 3741. The basic
machine (Models 1 and 2) has 2K of storage; Models 3 and 4 can have up to 8K. Location of the

in the 128-byte field in storage. The microcontroller just sets up the starting address of the
record to be transferred and then can do operations in other areas of the machine. An example
of this is the way the display cycle-steals from the
current buffer while the operator enters data into
the current buffer during enter mode.

The storage (contained on the memory card) is
divided into buffers. Some are assigned to specific
uses, such as the current buffer for which data is
displayed, or the previous buffer from which the
data is written. Refer to the storage map in Chapter 8 for details of buffer assignment within storage.

The data flow to and from R/W storage is on the
'-data bit in' and '-data bit out' lines. These
lines should pulse continuously as the display is
alwa~'') cycle-stealing. Data flow to and from the
R/W storage/MPU interface is along the buffer
path to the disk and display controllers plus the
microcontroller storage data register (register 7),
w'1ich is used for data transfer.

Read/Write Storage/MPU Interface and
Cycle Steal
The R/W storage/MPU interface controls data
transfer between storage and the microcontroller,
disk unit, or display unit. Data is transferred at
the request of any of these devices.
R/W storage accessing is done by means of 18
address lines controlled from registers in the microcontroller. The microcontroller, disk unit, and display unit each have their own storage address registers-a high-order bit register and a low-order bit
register. See the diagram for register names. Lines
1, 5, and 6 and lines 2, 3, and 4 in the display are
treated, for storage accessing purposes, as two
separate devices. The outputs of these register
parts are dotted together. Each device has a time
allotted in which to access storage. A-time is for
the disk, B-time is for the microcontroller, and
R-time is for the display (the display controller
controls line usage). The bits used in each register
to produce '-SAR l' through '-SAR 9' are high
bit 7 and the low register bits 0 through 7. Bits 3
through 6 in the high register are gated with CSY
clock, CSX clock, and the storage plugging pins
to produce '-SAR 10', '+CSX l' through '+CSX 4',
'+CSY 1', '+CSY 2', '+4K CS', and '+card sel'.

Bit 0 in the high register produces '+write/-read'.
If the microcontroller sets bit 0 on, data will be
read from storage. If the bit is set off, the operation will be a write. Bit 1 is set on when the request to access R/W storage is made by the microcontroller. Bit 2 in the high register controls the
self-in.crementing of the register pair. The selfincrementing is used in a way that frees the microcontroller from the task of setting up each address

and the microcontroller. It stores decoded keystrokes information for use by the microcontroller.
The MPU keyboard registers (KBD DATA - register 5, and KBDCTRL - register 6) receive input
from the keyboard as described under Keyboard
Character Transfer Control in Chapter 13. Data
is sent via the SD R (register 7) to the current

""------Cycle Steal Req 1-

I

The character generator is a ROS module containing all the character display patterns and having
9-bit output. For a single character, seven ROS
addresses are accessed to give the 7x9 matrix pattern. This pattern is serialized in the shift register
to give '-CRT dot input' as its output, and at the
appropriate time the cursor, whose position is being tracked by register 13, is gated out with the
data. The lines '+CRT line ctrl l' through '+CRT
line ctrl 4' control line~ 1 through 6 on the display.
The signals '+wiggle return' and '+horizontal return' used in the display unit originate in the
display controller and run continuously. The
entire display is refreshed every 23 ms.

Cycle Steal Req 2-

Characters are formed in a 7x9 matrix. Each character is moved from R/W storage by cycle-stealing. The data for the character is gated into the
'next character' register, where it is checked for
validity. If the character is valid, address lines
to the character generator are activated for the
character. If the character is invalid (unprintable),
the hex representation of the character is displayed.

Disk Controller
The disk controller is a type of microcontroller. It
accepts commands from the microcontroller and
executes them as independently as possible. This
capability permits the microcontroller to perform
operations in other areas of the machine with
minimum time loss.
The disk controller is given commands such as seek
higher (move the head toward the center of the
diskette), seek lower, read ID (record address),
read data, and write data. When.the disk attachment begins to execute a command it activates a
busy signal. After busy drops, the microcontroller
checks drive status (sense data) to be sure that no
errors occurred, and then uses the data just read
(if it was a read command), issues another write
or access command, or commands whatever is to
be done next.
When it detects an error, the disk controller indicates the error through the drive status information.
The microcontroller reissues the command in an
attempt to recover. Error recovery is tried a set
number of times. If a retry succeeds, the operation
goes on. If not, an error code is displayed and the
operation stops. On some disk errors, multiple retries occur that might take up to one minute.
The disk controller contains the track, record,
length, sense/command, and next character registers. It also contains the logic for track compare, record compare, length compare, and the
logic to control the erase and write gates. The
track, record, and length registers are loaded
by the microcontroller from the control data in
the program buffer.

Track, Record, Length and Sense/Command
Registers
The track and record registers contain the track and
record numbers of the diskette record being addressed. The length register contains the length of
the record to be processed. For seek operations,
the length register contains the number of tracks
that the program wishes to cross.
The seven bits in the sense/command register are:
index, bad track, control address mark (CAM),
length error, CRC error, ID-match, and busy. The
sense/command register also indicates ready.

The index sense bit is the index output of the disk
drive. It is used by the ROS to mark the start of a
track for initializing diskettes.
The bad track sense bit is set if the first byte of
data in an I D field is hex F F.
The control address mark (CAM) sense bit is set if
the address mark of the selected data record is hex
F8.
The length error sense bit is set if the record read
is not padded to 1,28 with hex 00.
The I D-match sense bit is set when the ID specified by the track and record registers is found.
If the correct ID is not found, the microcontroller
assumes an addressing error and executes the proper error recovery procedure. For seek operations
the ID-match bit indicates that the correct track
was found.
The busy bit of the sense register is set when the
command register is loaded. It stays set until the

---+--1-------------'

command issued is completed. When the command
is completed, the busy latch is reset.
The ready condition is indicated in the sense register by not having all bits in the register turned on.
Thus, if the selected drive is not ready, all bits in
the sense/command register are forced on.

Next Character Register
The next character register is temporary storage
for 1 byte of data. Data being transferred from
R/W storage to diskette (write record) passes
through the next character register to the serdes.
Serdes serializes the byte and presents 1 bit at a
time to the disk controller for transfer to the disk
unit. The data being transferred (read record) from
the diskette to·R/W storage travels in the reverse
direction of the write record. In this caseserdes

Access Disk Drive 1 and Check Out MPU and
R/W Storage
The head for disk drive 1 moves to track 00 when
the ROS causes it to seek 79 times to a lower track.
(This can be seen and heard.) The disk accessing
is controlled by the disk controller while the MPU
co'ntinues with part of the power-on sequence.
Some of the basic machine hardware is checked
when the ROS shifts test characters through various
registers within the MPU and then writes them into R/W storage. The MPU then checks the last
register tosee if each test character is 0 K and
also checks that the test characters written into
R/W storage can be read out correctly. For a
failure in either case, the MPU makes the clicker
buzz and the cursor flash in position 40 on the
CRT. If an error occurs, eliminate feature hardwa,re as a cause by removing F RUs. If no error
occurs, the R/W storage area (buffer) is incremented and the sequence is repeated until all 2,048
positions of storage have been checked.
The test characters used are in hex, each different from the one before. If the machine stops
with a display of all Hs (hex 00), the MPU planar,
a cross connector, or a memory card is probably
the cause. The hex 00 me¥ls that either no data
was written into storage or no data can be read
from storage.
A power-on sequence error display of many hex
character patterns would probably indicate a
problem with the MPU planar or memory card.
Most addressing and data paths from the MPU to
R/W storage are shared. The combinations selected
by the MPU for each storage position differ.

3741 FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS

Program Storage Area
The 3741 contains ten program buffers. Programs
to control record format, similar to those used in
the IBM 029 Card Punch, can be written and loaded
into those buffers from the current record buffer.
These programs can be entered from the keyboard
or from a disk. An additional program (program
level 0) is provided which has a fixed program of
128, single character alpha fields. When operating
under manual control, this program is selected.
Any program can be selected from the keyboard by
way of the program select routine and the program level number will be displayed on the status
line.
For details about programming, see How to Load
a Program in Chapter 9.

Enter
Enter mode is used for writing records on a disk.
As an operator keys a record, the data is stored in
the current record buffer. In this mode, this buffer is displayed. When a record advance occurs,
the MPU transfers the data from the current
record buffer to the previous record buffer. The
record in the previous record buffer is then written
o,n the disk.

Program Chaining
Program chaining provides automatic selection of
the program to be used with the next record. The
program to be selected when record advancing is
designated by the program number in position 128
of the current program. The program to be selected when record backspacing is designated by the
program number in position 127 of the current
program.

buffer. Then only if a change has been made to
the record now in the previous record buffer, the
contents of the previous record buffer wi II be
written onto disk. When a record is written in
update mode, it is always written at the disk address at which the record was located before it
was changed.

the contents of the hold buffer into the current
record buffer. Here it can be reviewed and if necessary, modified before use as a mask. When the
search operation is completed, the mask will be
stored in the hold buffer; and the record found
will be in both the current record buffer and the
previous record buffer. The current record buffer
is displayed. The search can be continued with the
same mask since the mask will be recalled from the
hold buffer when the search content function is
again selected.

Record Length
Search Sequential Content
The length of records written on disk is variable
from 1 to 128 characters but is fixed from record
to record within the data set. The record length
for a data set is identified in the data set label positions 23 through 27. If record lengths are entered
into the data set which are shorter than the designated record length, the 3741 wili automatically
write blank characters in all positions from the end
of the record out to and including the specified record length position. Beyond the specified record
length position, the 3741 wi II enter hex 00 in all
positions out to and including position 128.

Search EOD
The search EOD (end of data) function causes the
machine to search the disk for the last record of a
data set. When this function is completed, the last
record of the data set will be displayed, and stored
in both the current record and previous record
buffers.

Search Data Address
The search data address function allows searching
for a record in a data set by specifying its disk address. When this function is completed, the record
at the specified address will be displayed, and stored
in both the current and previous record buffers.
Search Content

Update
The update mode is used to read records from the
disk for review, modification or use as program records. In this mode, the record located at the current disk address is displayed from the current
record buffer. Any changes will be keyed into this
buffer. When a record advance is performed, the

PN 1619180

The search content function provides a search for
the record in a data set which contains specific
data. The data being searched for is called a mask.
The mask can be part or all of the record. A blank
in any position means that position will not be
compared during a search operation. When the
search content function is selected, the MPU moves

Search sequential content is a faster form of search
content. To find the record with the selected
mask, the records in the data set must be arranged
so that the search fields of each succeeding record
have a higher value than in the preceding record.
If one or more records do not meet this requirement, the search may fail.

Operator Guidance
Operator guidance on the 3741 assists the operator
by displaying information on the last 30 positions
of lines 5 and 6 of the display. Line 5 displays the
current program field or a prompting message related to that field. Line 6 displays the data entered
into the current field up to the cursor position.
The remaining positions are indicated by a slash.
Prompting messages, up to 30 characters long can
be stored in even numbered program buffers.
Each prompting record is associated with the program in the next lower numbered program buffer.
The first character of the prompting record mustbe an asterisk (*). Each prompting message within
a prompting record must be followed by an asterisk. Every program field must have a corresponding prompting message in the prompting record.

3741 SPECIAL FEATURES

Feature Group A

Production Statistics
The production statistics feature provides statistics
on data production for use in measurement of
work load, analysis of error, and job accounting.
Three counters (located in buffer 4 of R/W storage) are used to count:
1.

Number of key strokes.

2.

Number of records processed.

3.

Number of characters corrected during
verify mode, including all characters keyed
in field correct mode.

These counters are reset by the microcode when
power is turned on or when the R key is pressed
while production statistics are being displayed.

Verify
Verify mode is used to check the accuracy of records already on disk and to make corrections to
records when errors are found. As data for a record is rekeyed from the source document, each
character is compared with the corresponding
character in the record in the current record buffer.
If characters do not compare, a V error occurs.
After the error is reset, the first character keyed
is accepted if it agrees with either the character in
the current record buffer or the character which
caused the error. The next record to be verified is
stored in the hold buffer. When record advancing
occurs in verify mode, the MPU moves the contents of the current record buffer to the previous
record buffer and the contents of the hold buffer
to the current record buffer. The contents of the
previous record buffer will then be written on
disk only if a change had been made to the record.
After the last record of the data set has been verified, a verify mark (V) will be automatically inserted in the data set label.

Self-Check (Modulus 10 and Modulus 11)
The self-check feature provides a method for checking the entry of the numeric fields that contain a

precomputed self-check digit. The self-check digit
is the last digit in the field and is precomputed
using a modulus 10 or 11 algorithm. (The digit
is stored in buffer 4 of R/W storage.) The 3741
recomputes the self-check digit according to the
algorithm, and when the last digit is entered or
verified, it is compared for identity with the computer value.

field totals are displayed and the R key is pressed.
Detailed programming information is contained in
section 9 of this manual.

Disk Initializaticln
The purpose of the disk initialization feature is:

Field Totals (Online)
This field totals feature provides the ability to add
fields within a record or within several records and
to enter that total into the same or following records. All additions and entering of totals into a
record are under program control.
The online feature allows for field totals operation
while the machine is in enter mode, update mode,
or verify mode. Three 19-digit accumulators (located in buffer 5 of R/W storage) are provided with
this feature. Data can be algebraically added into
one or more of these accumulators from a specified
field or fields in any or all records of a data set.
During online field totals operation, data in these
accumulators will be reset to 0 whenever that data
is entered into a record. All accumulators are reset
by the microcode when power is turned on, when
offline field totals is initiated or when field t()tals
are displayed and the R key is pressed.
Detailed programming information is contained in
section 9 of this manual.

Field Totals (Offline)
The offline field totals feature provides the ability
to add fields within a record or within several records and to enter that total into the same or the
following records. All addition and enter operations are under program control. The feature is
used to obtain totals from records already written
on the disk.
Three 19-digit accumulators (located in buffer 5 of
R/W stqrage) are provided with this feature. Data
can be algebraically added into one or more of
these accumulators from a specified field or fields
in any or all records of a data set. Data in thes~
accumulators can be entered into a field of a record with or without resetting the accumulator, depending on the control program. All accumulators
are reset by the microcode when power is turned
on, when offline field totals is initiated or when

Record Insert
Record insertion provides the capability of opening a space within an existing data set into which
records may be c.dded. Tbis is achieved by moving
all records starting with the record at the currently
displayed disk address through the EOD minus one
record. The new disk address of the records is determined by the previous disk address of the record,
plus the number of records to be inserted. The
SpaCE! that is opened, from 01 to 99 sectors, is
filled with deleted records which then can be
modified. Buffer 4 of R/W storage is used during
this process.

Expansion Feature

3713 Printer Controller

This feature provides the IBM 3741 Data Station
with the necessary circuits for installing a second
disk unit and/or an IBM 3713,3715, or 3717
Printer.

The printer attachment feature allows the attachment of an IBM printer. The printing can be performed with the printer format controlled by a
program in a program buffer or printer control
characters in the data stream. Records can also be
printed with no format control with 1 record
printed per line and with single or double spacing (determined by a lever in the printer). In
all of the printer operations, turning AUTO REC
ADV off causes printing to stop at the end of the
print line with the machine staying in a printer
mode. From this point, pressing REC ADV prints
the next line. Pressing RESET returns the machine
to its previous mode of operation if this operation
did not start from the read index mode. Pressing
REC ADV with AUTO REC ADV on starts the
printing and allows the print function selected
to be completed.

Second Disk
The second disk feature is provided on the 3741 to
permit:
1.

Duplication of a disk to save more than one
copy or recover data from a disk that has
developed a defect.

2.

Merging of records from a disk with records
from the keyboard.

3.

Putting data from several disks onto one
disk.

4.

5.

Extended storage for programs si nce programs can be loaded into program buffers
from the secondary disk without removing
the primary disk.
Extended storage for use with communications feature.

The print feature has four different modes. They
are:

1.

2.

Print data set-the current data set is printed.

3.

Print search content-the record found after
search content is printed.

4.

Print search address-the record found after
search address is printed.

I

During dual disk operations, write functions can
not be performed on the secondary disk. Record
lengths for both disks are maintained separately.
Therefore, records read from the secondary disk
are extended with blank characters or shortened as
required when written on the primary disk. A
5-diglt secondary disk address is displayed on
the display status line after completing any second
disk operation, indicating the address of the last
record read from the secondary disk.
When a disk is being duplicated, seven records are
read from disk 2 in one revolution. These records
are temporarily stored in the buffer, from where
they are written on disk 1. All seven records are
written in one disk revolution. Program buffers
are used for this operation.

3717 Printer Controller
The 3717 Printer Controller is in the 3717 Printer.
For further information, see the manual contained
in the 3717 Printer.

Print record-the data in the current record
buffer is printed.

Data to be printed is always transferred from the
previous record buffer to the printer attachment.
The transfer is serial by byte.
If format control is used, data is read from the
disk into the current record buffer. It is then formatted in the previous record buffer, one print
line at a time. From the previous record buffer
it is transferred 1 byte at a time to the printer
register in the printer controller.

the right margin is reached. In the case of a new
line, the print head carrier stops and returns to the
left margin while indexing to a new line. In the
case of a stop at the right margin, the paper is not
indexed.
Printing is accomplished by the printer adapter
selecting the vertical columns of the dot matrix
in the character generator. When the last column
of dots has been printed, the printer adapter generates a reset to the printer register. The microcontroller monitors the printer register, and a
cleared register signals the need for the next
character.
When format control is used, the character in
column 1 of program level A defines the method
of selecting the printer format program, as shown
in the following chart:

When power is turned on '+POR' is raised (0 to
8.5 volts) and '+reset R' (clock line) is held
up (+8.5 volts).
When '+POR' drops, '+reset R' becomes active and
the printer does a power-up sequence to ensure
that the print head carrier is at the left margin,
as follows:
1.

Moves the print head carrier to the right.

2.

Stops the print head carrier after 'right margin N-O' is sensed.

3.

Moves the print head carrier to the left at
high speed.

4.

5.

Slows the print head carrier to normal speed
after 'left margin slow switch N-O' is sensed.
Stops the print head carrier after 'left margin stop switch N-O' is sensed.

for printing of the vertical columns comes from
the print magnetic emitter transducer in the
printer, 'print right emit amplified'.
Paper is indexed by the printer adapter when the
microcontroller puts a new line command into the
printer register. (It is possible that index N-O
switch failures might intermittently cause the

Whim the printer is first selected and if the print
head is not at the left margin position, the printer
adapter causes the print head to be returned to
the left margin position prior to printing.
When in print mode, '-printer select' should be
negative. Data is transferred to the printer register
from the microcontroller (MPU) on the data path
bit lines in sockets Q and F, one character at a
time.
Whnn the microcontroller puts a character to be
printed into the print register, the printer adapter
detects the presence of the character and starts
the print head carrier moving to the right. The
head will continue moving to the right until the
microcontroller puts a stop command character in
the printer register. If the microcontroller does
not issue a stop command, the print head will
crash into the right margin stop and a printer hardwar,e error will be posted (there is no right margin
switch).·
The head carrier motion is maintained by internal
timings in the adapter (derived from '+reset R')
whkh causes the print head stepper motor drive
lines to sequence.

Printing is bi-directional and is accomplished by
the printer adapter selecting the vertical columns of
the dot matrix in the character generator. Each
character printed is maintained at the output of the
print register and the inputs to the printer adapter
and the character generator for the time required
to print the character. The timings req.uired. to
sele,ct the vertical columns from the character generator come from the printer adapter. These timings are derived from the print emitter feedback
(EM1, EM2 and EM3) from the printer. When the
last column of dots has been printed for the char-

acter, the printer adapter generates a reset to the
printer register. The microcontroller monitors the
printer register and a cleared register signals the
need for the next character.

Print overrun - indicates that the microcontroller
did not service or pass a character to the printer
adapter at print time while the adapter was in
print mode.

Featuru Half Planar - Socket 1-R (for 3715)

Paper is indexed when a line feed command in the
printer register is decoded by the printer adapter.
Printing and head motion are prevented during indexing. Indexing is accomplished by adapter
timings and the printer forms emitters, 'F EA and
FEB'.

Index failure - indicates that the index was not
completed or that a 'forms emitter A or B' is
not present from the printer.

A carriage return command from the microcontroller causes the printer adapter to terminate the
print (if printing) and the head to be returned to
the left margin. If the printer is already in the
left margin area, the command is immediately
reset by the adapter with no printer motion.
A carriage home command causes the printer
adapter to return the head to the hOl'J1e or park
position. Head movement is the same as for the
carriage return command except that the head
movement continues past left margin to the home
position. When in the home position, the head is
withdrawn from the platen. If the head is already
in the left margin area, the printer head will move
to the right until away from the left margin and
then return to the home or park position.
The following failures or error conditions are
detected by the printer adapter. When an error
condition is .detected, the printer adapter inhibits
the reset to the printer register and the microcontroller displays a printer hardware error (U error
code upper left corner and 15 status lower left
corner of display).

A printer hardware error is also displayed for a
printer adapter hardware failure. In addition to
these hardware failures, the microcontroller may
display an invalid character error (U error and 3
status) if it detects an unprintable character in the
printer register whenever the PROG NUM SHIFT
switch on the keyboard is not in the ALL CHAR
position.
Multiple device errors may occur while in print
mode. These are displayed in. the upper right hand
corner of the screen such as U4, etc. U4 error denotes a disk error and a printer error both occurred.
Such errors should be resolved on an individual
basis.

Note: The microcontroller initiates one retry for a
printer error prior to setting the error code except
for an error condition during an index and the illegal character check on Model 1 and 2 only. In
other words, if a wire check occurs during the
printing of a line, the printer stops and retries
printing the entire line. Any portion of the line
that was printed is reprinted with the remainder of
the line being printed assuming the retry was successful.
Feature Half Planar - Socket 1-P (for 3715)

Printer not ready - can be caused by a printer
wire check, no printer power.
End-of-forms - indicates the end of forms has
arrived or that there is no paper in the printer
when printing in continuous forms mode (when
feeding individual forms, the end-of-forms switch
is inactive). A carriage home is always performed
prior to displaying this error.

Proof Keyboard Feature
The proof keyboard feature which can be installed
on a 3741 differs from a standard data entry keyboard by a rearrangement of the numeric keys.
Under alpha shift, there is no change in keyboard
function. Under numeric shift, the slash key functions as the space bar, and the space bar functions
as the 0 (zero) key. Also, the 1,2;· and 3 keys on
the data entry keyboard are interchanged with
the 7, 8, and 9 keys on the proDf keyboard, respectively. The 4, 5, and 6 keys remain unchanged.
The outputs of these keys in numeric sh ift mode
are translated by the MPU under ROS feature control. If a machine with this feature is operated with
the ROS Feature card removed from sockets, the
keyboard function will revert to that of the standard data entry configuration.

Katakana Feature
The Katakana feature provides the ability of
entering the Katakana EBCDIC code onto the
disk. The keyboard provides input of 64
Katakana characters plus 63 domestic characters.
The Katakana characters are generated by the
Katakana shift and the Katakana symbol functions.
Any time the station is in Katakana shift
(programmed for Katakana shift, the KATAKANA SHIFT switch ON, or the KANA SHIFT
key pressed) the Katakana shift can be overridden
with the ALPHA SHIFT, NUM SHIFT, or KANA
SYMB shift key. The overriding shift key will
define the character or function that will be
entered into the station when a character key or
function key is pressed.
When the station is in Katakana shift, the following function keys require that the ALPHA SHI FT
or N UM SH IFT key be used with that key to .
activate the function; otherwise the corresponding
Katakana character will be entered into the station:
HEX, FLO COR, DlW, CHAR ADV, REC
ADV, FLO ADV, SEL PRG, SKIP, RT ADJ,
and CHR BKS.

INTRODUCTION
The Binary Synchronous Communications Adapter
(BSCA) allows the machine to function as a point
to point terminal. The basic BSCA function allows data transmission using EBCDIC directly as
the communications line code. Operation is halfduplex over private line, common carrier leased
line, or a common carrier switched network. The
mode of transmission is synchronous, serial-bY-bit,
and serial-by-character.

BSCA Controller Operation

Perform all disk functions such as read or
write, write checking or checking, or updating information on the index track.

2.

Transfer data between the disk unit and the
BSCA controller. The transfer in transmit
mode is from the disk unit to the buffer, to
the BSCA controller data register, to the modem. In receive modp the flow is reversed.

3.

Display status, error codes and CPU 10 information for review by the operator. The
five communication modes are:

T
P
R
B

0

to transmit only
to transmit hex data
to receive data only
to transmit data, auto-turn around
and receive data
to transmit hex data, auto-turn
around and receive

The BSCA controller also performs the serializing/deserializing function on the data
transmitted or received.
An operator can select communications mode from
update or index modes only. Upon selection of the
communications mode from index mode, the data
set label will be checked for valid extents (BOE,
EOE, EOD) and for HOR1. If these conditions
are met, the BSCA controller will perform the
wrap test. This test verifies that data can be passed

826065

Date 9115174

,8/1/75

through the BSCA controller from the data register
up to the modem cable drivers and back to the
BSCA data register. If this test fails, a W or WI will
be posted on the display in the mode indicator positions.
If no error exists, the BSCA controller will then
check several features in the following order:
1.

If the key lock is present, it must be unlocked.

2.

If terminal 10 is present, the terminal 10 is
read and stored in the program 9 buffer.

3.

If terminal lOis present, the cursor must be
at position 16 or less._ All positions below
the cursor are assumed to be the CPU 10 and
are transferred to the buffer. The CPU 10
must be entered before communications
mode is selected and must be 15 characters
or less. If no CPU lOis entered, the BSCA
controller.will accept any 10 from the Remote end.

When in communications mode the BSCA controller makes use of the MPUmicrocontroller, the
disk unit controll~r, and the microcontroller/
buffer interface and the display unit controller to:
1.

EC 823146

4.

The second disk feature will be set to record
00007 on the index track.

If a failure occurs in steps one or three, an H error
is posted. Step 4 could result in posting disk
errors.
The record at the current address position of disk
one is reread and a C for communications is posted
as the mode indicator in the status line of the
display (position 38).
On switched lines and if the operator will be dialing the call, the M key must then be pressed. The
T, P, R, B or 0 key must then be pressed to select
the function desired. Pressing the M key must be
omitted if the 3741 will be answering a call, or if
on leased lines.
On switched lines, pressing the M key indicates to
the BSCA controller that it is calling and therefore will transmit a line bid first, regardless of the
mode. Not pressing the M key tells the BSCA controller to wait for a line bid. On non-switched
(leased) lines the M key is not required because
the station in transmit mode will transmit a line
bid first.

14-14

PN 1619188

The letter key pressed will replace the C in the
status line. If the 10 reader is installed, a B
will be posted on the status line in position 39.
The badge can then be inserted and read into the
buffer or the R EC ADV key can be pressed to
skip the 10 reader functions as in 3741 to 3741
communications.
The BSCA controller then checks the mode strap.
It can be in DTR (data terminal ready) or CDSTL
(connect data set to line) mode. The DTR mode is
generally used for switch lines and the CDSTL
generally for leased line communications.
In CDSTL mode, the BSCA controller then looks
for DSR (data set ready) or the ring indicator (RI)
to come up.
The controller then will look for
a line bid (ENQ), send a line bid if the M key has
been pressed, or send line bid if in transmit mode
on a leased line. If the BSCA controller detects
that the send answertone strap is on, the first transmission is three seconds of space (logical 0). The
terminal 10 and CPU 10 codes are exchanged with
the original line bids and responses.

II

In DTR mode the BSCA controller will check for
data set ready(DSR) being off, then it will bring
data terminal ready' (DTR) up.
The operator
will then place the call if this is the call ing station.
After the data set button on the modem is pressed
causing DSR to come on, the controller will make
or wait for a line bid and exchange 10 codes. From
this point on, CDSTL and OTR operation is identical and is dependent on the operator selected
mode, transmit or receive.

D

In the T, B, 0 or P transmit modes, the 10 reader
code will be transmitted followed by data records.
If communications mode was selected from update
mode, the record at the current address and all records from this one to the end of the data set will
be transmitted. If this mode was selected from index mode, the current'label wiil be checked to see
that the bypass data set position (position 41) does
not contain a B, before the data set is transmitted.
If a B is found, the BSCA controller causes a search
for another data set to be transmitted.

Transmit Mode (T or P)

Transmit Mod~ (T) - - ' - - - - - - - _

The records to be sent are read from the disk into
the previous record or hold buffers. A record is
read into one of these buffers, the read of the next
record into the other buffer is then initiated.
Transmit of the first record then starts. Reading of
records is controlled by the disk unit controller and
the microcontroller/buffer interface while the transmitting of records is under control of the BSCA
controller and the microcontroller/buffer inter-·
face. Therefore, the reading and transmitting of
records takes place simultaneously. Data is transmitted one record at a time, serial by bit, serial by
byte. A positive response from the receiving end
will initiate the transmitting of the next record
and the reading of the following record.

Data is transferred from the previous or hold buf.fer one byte at a time to the data register on the
BSCA controller and from the data register it is
transferred serially by bit to the transmit line.
Transmitting continues until the last record of the
data set is sent. At this time, the disk is returned
to the index track to look for another data set to
,transmit. All data sets which contain an HDR1
and do not contain a B in the bypass data set position of the label and which have a label record
number higher than the one just transmitted, will
be transmitted. When the second disk feature is
installed, any HDR1 data set on that disk which
does not contain the B in the bypass position of
the label will also be transmitted.

Transmit mode was selected from update mode.
Operator positions drive
to desired record.

Machine will select first
valid data set label. Then
drive will be positioned
to BOE of that data set.

If an invalid label is found, which is not a bypass
data set, communications will be terminated with
the appropriate error code displayed.
When there are no more data sets to be transmitted, the BSCA controller will send the end of
transmissions sequence (EDT) and post a T in
position 39 of the status line.
A null record is always transmitted between data
sets and before the EDT sequence. If a data set is
continued on disk 2, the first valid data set on disk
2 is sent as a continuation of this data set, and
then transmits any other valid data sets on disk 2.
If position 45 of the data set label contains a C
and the second disk feature is not installed, or the
second disk is not ready, transmission wi II terminate
and a D error is posted.

Ye:;

When a data set is continued
from disk 1 to disk 2. there
will be a C in position 45 of
the data set label on disk 1
and an L in position 45 of
the first data set label used
on disk 2

Machine goes to clisk 2 and
finishes transmitting data
set. Then transmits any
other val id data s Jts on

second disk feature is not
installed. or the second
disk is not ready. transmission will terminate and
a 0 error is posted.

Transmit Transparent/Receive Mode
If the mode had been B or D, the transmit sequence is identical to the T or P mode. However,
when a" data sets have been transmitted, the
BSCA controller causes the disk to be positioned
on the index track at the first valid data set label
after the label corresponding to the last data set
transmitted. This wi" become the label of the
first data set received. The controller wi" wait 20
seconds for a line bid. If none is received, a C error
wi" be posted on the display and a line disconnect
will be made. The controller wi" then wait for a
call, which will put the controller into a received

Receive Mode (R)
On switched line, in receive mode, the controller
will wait 20 seconds for data. If none is received,
a C error is posted on the display and a line disconnect will be made. If a call is then received,
the BSCA controller goes back into the receive
mode.
On non-switched line, the BSCA controller will
continuously monitor the line. Data is received
serial by bit, serial by character in one-record
blocks. It is assembled in the BSCA controller
data register and transferred one byte at a time
to the previous record or hold buffers. When a
complete record is assembled in one of these
buffers, the fo'llowing sequence takes place:

1.

Start to write the record on disk.

2.

Bring up RTS and wait for clear to send
signal, to send response.

3.

Send sync characters until write operation is
completed.

4.

Start write check operation.

5.

Send acknowledgment on the line.

6.

Wait for or receive the next record into the
other buffer (hold or previous).

In this way the write operation overlaps the clear
to send delay and the write check operation overlaps receive of the next record. At the end of a
data set, a null record will be received, if a second
data set is to be received. The 3741 will terminate
the receive mode if a null data set is followed by
EOT sequence or if an EOT sequence follows the
data set immediately (no null record received).

After a complete data set has been received, the
controller will cause the data set label to be updated in several positions. These are record length,
end of extent, end of data, and beginning of extent. The record length will equal the length of the
records received. EOE will be the address of the
last record written. EOD is one greater than EOE.
BOE is the location of the first record in the data
'set. BOE is unchanged on the first data set received if the operator selected receive mode. If any
of the transmit modes had been utilized or more
than one data set is received, BOE is set to one
record address greater than the EOE of the last
data set transmitted or received.
If another data set is to be received, the BSCA
controller searches for the next valid data set label.
It will internally establish a BOE which is equal
to EOE plus one (or EOD) of the data set just received and then position the disk to receive the
next data set. Disk 2, if installed, appears as an
extension of disk 1. If a data set overflows from
disk 1 to disk 2, a C is placed in position 45
(multivolume indicator) of the data set label on
disk 1. The rest of the data set will be received on
disk 2 and an L will be placed·in position 45 of
the first label used on disk 2. If a record is written
in position 73026 on disk 1, and this is not the
last record of the data set, the next record will be
written on disk 2 record 01001. If in this case the
second disk feature is not installed or the second
disk is not ina ready state (no diskette inserted,
etc.), a D error is posted, communications will be
terminated, and a J will be posted in position 39 of
the status line.
Any error or operator intervention will cause the
3741 BSCA controller to go to a disconnect sequence in which the error code is posted on the
display and is sent to the other station as part of
the error message.
The RESET key can be used to terminate communications mode at any time. If data has transferred, an S error will be posted. The controller
will then. proceed with the normal error disconnect
sequence and take the machine out of communications mode. If the RESET key is pressed twice or
is pressed following an error, the 3741 will leave
communications mode immediately.

During receive operations, a running count is
maintained of all eRC checks, where transmitted
block check characters (BCC) do not match those
calculated by the BSCA controller. This count is
displayed in positions 14, 15, and 16. This is
an indication of the number of transmission blocks
received with errors that required retransmission.

During communications, a count is maintained of
2-second time-outs in positions 24, 25, and 26.
These time-outs may occur during unusually long
disk operations such as a long seek. During receive
operations, this would indicate the number of

DATA FLOW
The data path and register control lines extend
from the MPU planar to the feature half planar via
crossover connectors and are terminated at a register. All data transfer between the BSCA controller and MPU planar is via this data path and register. The BSCA adapter interfaces to the register
and also re"'quires clOCk signals from the MPU
planar. The BSCA adapter performs the serializedeserialize function, timing, and control functions
necessary to interface to the modem. The EIA
drivers and receivers convert BSCA adapter logic
levels to the required E IA levels.,
Detail Cross Connectors to MPU Planar
Most data path and register control lines are
routed via socket Q with a few in socket F.
When in communications mode, '-BSCA select'
should be negative (down leve!), and '-printer
select' should be positive. Data is transferred via
the data path bits.

m

'-Select 4', 'reg select decode 0' and '1', and '-reg
gate control 0' and '1' control gating into the data
register. '-Reg gate control 0'11 and '1' II are
clocks from the MPU.
The BSCA controller us.es '-gate out' &J , '-gate
B'm and '+reset A'
to generate timings in
sync with the microcontroller.

I

The BSCA controller also uses '-1 ms clock' and
'+reset CS counter' to generate timings. '-1 ms
clock' is a square wave with a 1-millisecond
period. '+ Reset CS counter' is a 60-millisecond
positive pulse that repeats every 24 milliseconds
(approximately) .
'+Speed select switch' will always be positive for
high baud rate unless:
1.

Speed select jumper is at low speed, or;

2.

BAUD SELECT switch is set at 600 bps

-rhree PAD characters are sent preceding an initial
bit sync pattern to ensure that the receiving
station is ready to receive by the time the first
SYN character is sent.

Trailing PAD (Hex FF)
In order to ensure that the last meaningful bits in a
transmission are sent properly by the data set,
one trailing PAD character will be sent as the last
character in the transmission. The 3741 will not
turn request-to-send off until the entire PAD
character has been transferred to the modem.
This provides one character time for the modem·
to complete sending the preceding meaningful
characters before its transmitter can turn off.

SYN-Synchronous Idle (Hex 32)

SOH-Start of Heading (Hex 01)

This character is used to establish and maintain
synchronization between the stations on the data
link when using'synchronous transmission. Two
continuous SYNs are used to establish character
synchronism (character phase pattern=SYN
SYN=O). In BSCA, two SYN characters are sent
in the data stream every 64 characters to maintain
synchronization throughout the transmission. In
EBSCA, two SYNs characters are sent every 82
characters to maintain synchronization.

In general, this character precedes a block of
heading characters and a heading consists of
auxiliary information (such as routing and
priority) necessary for the receiving station to
process the text portion of the message. However,
it is only sent by the 3741 preced ing operator 10
data and status message. It is treated as an STX
by a receiving 3741. _

STX-Start of Text (Hex 02)
A secondary use for the SYN character is as a
time fill in the transmitted data stream when
other data or control characters are not available.
The message stream must be continuous per
transmission in synchronous transmission method.

NAK-Negative Acknowledgement (Hex 3D)

ETX-End of Text (He:< 03)

The NAK reply from a receiving station indicates
that the previous message block was received in
error (BCCs did not check) and the receiver is
ready to accept a retransmission of the erroneous
message block.

The ETX is identical to the ETB, in that it
terminates a block of characters started with STX
or SOH. ETX requires the receiving station to
reply to the transmitted data and is followed in
the transmission data stream by the BGC just as
the ETB was. ETX is normally used, v/hen
multiple blocks of data are to be transmitted, to
identify the last block of data. (See e,~amples
below.)

NAK is also used as a negative (not ready) reply
to station selection on a multipoint data link or to
a line bid on a point-to-point data link.
A NAK is a normal response to TTD (temporary
text delay).

ETB-End of Transmission Block (Hex 26)
In general, the ETB character identifies the end of
a block of heading or text data characters started
with SOH or STX. ETB forces the receiving
station to reply to the transmitting station with
its response (for example, ACK 0 or ACK 1)message received okay; NAK-message received in
error, retransmit; etc.). The ETB is immediately
followed by a block check character (s) BCC in
the transmission so that the receiving station can
perform its error checking function (see example
below).

ENQ-Inquiry (Hex 20)

BCC-Block Check Character

EOT-End of Transmission (Hex 37)

ENQ is used to bid for the line when using a
point-to-point network (data link). See example
below.

The BCC is cyclic redundancy checking (CRC).
The transmitting station builds a CRC character
(2 bytes) which is representative of all bits of all
characters transmitted in the message block. It
transmits this character as a BCC to the receiving
station. This BCC character is checked against the
CRC accumulation at the receiving station for an
equal compare. A running count is maintained of
all CRC checks where transmitted block check
characters (BCC) do not match those calculated
by the BSCA controller. This count is displayed
in positions 14, 15, 16 of the error logout line at
the bottom of the display.

This control character signals the end of a
message transmission, which may have contained
one or more blocks, including text and associated
headings. In a multipoint line, it causes a reset
of all stations on the transmission line.

Another use of the ENQ control character is to
indicate the end of a poll or selection sequence
which solicits a response from the polled or
selected station. See example below.

1.

An abort signal to indicate a system malfunction or situation where continuation of
message transmission is impossible.

2.

A response to a poll when the station being
polled (invited to send) has nothing to
transmit (BSCA multipoint only).

The example below is for a transmitting station
ending its transmission with a normal ending.

OLE-Data Link Escape (Hex 10)
The DLE is a control character used exclusively to
provide supplementary line control characters,
such as WACK, ACK 0, ACK 1, RVI, and transparent mode control characters.
The DLE, when added to a normal non-control
character, can be used for a two-character control
sequence. This greatly expands the range of
control characters in the BSC procedure.

RVI-Reverse Interrupt (Hex 10, 7C)
In general the RVI control character is a positive
response used in place of the ACK 0 and ACK 1.
RVI is transmitted by the receiving station to
request termination of the current transmission
because of a high priority message which it must
transmit. Also, in the case of a multipoint network,
the control station, acting as a receiver, will use
this reply to gain control of the data link.
The sending station treats the RVI as a positive
acknowledgment and responds by transmitting
all data that prevents it from becoming a
receiving station. The 3741 must finish a complete
job; therefore, RVI is treated as a positive response
and continues.
The RVI is a two-character control sequence
consisting of the DLE as the first character in
conjunction with @ in EBCDIC (DLE@). The
3741 can receive RVI and treats it as positive
response. Tire 3741 does not transmit an RVI.

ACK 0/ ACK 1-Positive Acknowledgment
ACK 0 (Hex 10, 70)
ACK 1 (Hex 10,61)
The ACK 0 or ACK 1 reply, when used on the
proper sequence, indicates the. previous message
block was accepted without error and the
receiver is ready to accept the next block of the
transm issi on.
The ACK 0 and ACK 1 responses are a twocharacter sequence where the D LE character is
used with a second character which varies depending on the transmission code being used. See
chart below.

Data Link
Character

EBCDIC

ACKO
ACK 1

DLE '70'*
DLE /

*'70' indicates the hexadecimal value, it has no
graphic character assigned.
The use of the proper sequences with the
acknowledgments is as important as the acknowledgment. The ACKs must be used in an alternating mode, that is ACK 1 to message 1, ACK 0
to message 2, ACK 1 to message 3, etc. This
alternating positive acknowledgment is used to
maintain a check on the reception of all replies
by the transmitting station.
ACK 0 is also used as a positive response to a
selection in the multipoint or to a line bid in
point-to-point data link.

TTD-Temporary Text Delay (Hex 02 2D)

WACK-Wait Before Transmit-Positive
Acknowledgment (Hex 10-, 6B)
The WACK control character is used by a receiving
station to indicate a temporarily not ready to
receive condition to the transmitting station. It
can be sent as a response to a block of text or
heading data indicating positive acknowledgment
but does not send the next message. It can also
be used to respond to a selection sequence on a
multipoint network or a line bid on the point-topoint network.
The normal transmitting stations response to a
WACK reply is to transmit the ENQ control
character. When the ENQ is received, the
receiving station will continue to respond (reply)
with WACK until it is ready to continue. See
example below.

The TTD control character sequence is sent by a
sending station, which has control of the transmission, when it wishes to retain the line but is
not ready to transmit. The TTD control sequence
(STX ENQ) is normally sent after approximately
two seconds if the sending station is not capable
of transmitting the next text block or initial text
block or initial text block within that time. This
2-second time-out avoids the normal 3-second
receive time-out at the receiving station which
would end the operation. See example below.

In the preceding example, the WACK/ENQ
exchange can continue until the receiving station
is ready to receive the next data block. If the
transmitting station does not wish to continue
the exchange (wait for the receiving station), it
can transmit the EOT control character instead
of the ENQ and thus end the operation.

Wack is a two-character sequence consisting of
the DLE control character in conjunction with'
the comma (,). The 3741 will send WACKs in
the receive mode if a 2-second time-out occurs
(for example, waiting for a long disk operation to
complete).

The receiving station responds NAK to the TID
sequence and waits for transmission to begin.
If the sending station is still not ready, the TTD
sequence can be repeated one or more times. This
delay can occur when the sending station's input
device has not completely filled the buffer due to
inherent machine timings.

Forward Abort

Another use of the TTD control sequence is to
signal the receiving station that the sending station
is aborting the current transmission. After
receiving NAK to this TTD sequence, the sending
station sends EOT, resetting the receiving station
to control mode (forward abort). See example
below.

In genera!, the ITB is used to divide a message
(heading or text) into blocks for error checking
purpO:ies without causing a line turnaround
(revenial of transmitting station). The block check
character (Bee) immediately follows the ITB in
the trilnsmission stream and allows the receiving
station to perform error checking on the block of
data. After the first intermediate block, the
successive intermlldiate blocks do not have to be
preceded by STX or SOH, unless there is a
chan9'~ in types of data transmitted (heading to
text). See example below.

The receiving station now
transmits its reply to all
blocks of data received
(heading and text).

If any of the blocks of data/heading were received
in ernJr, the tramimitting station must retransmit
all blocks.
Note: The 3741 has the ability to receive the ITB
control character and its associated Bee check
character. The 3741 does not transmit the ITB
character. When the 3741 receives ITB, it performs
the bl.ock check and continue receiving data. It
treatE!S all data received in a transmission as one

Operations
Let's see what has to take place in order to
communicate using the 3741. In the following
examples we will be communicating between two
3741 s (station A and station B) on a switched
point-to-point line. Station A will be transmitting
two records of information to station B at the
following disk locations.
BOE - 01001
EOE - 01026
EOD - 01003
The operator sets up station A as follows:
- Positions disk to correct data set label.
- Selects communicate.
Presses M key (for originating station only).
Presses T key (puts station A in transmit mode).
Presses the talk button on the modem and
calls station B.

Verbal agreement is reached as to when data is to
be sent. Then the station B operator sets up as
follows.
- Positions disk to the correct data set label.
- Selects communicate.
Presses R key (places station B in receive mode).
- Presses data key on modem.
The originating station (station A) operator listens
for a high-pitched tone. When the operator hears
the tone change from a high-pitch to a low-pitch,
the data key on the modem must be pressed. A
data link has now been established and communications can begin.
Records are transmitted sequentially as they
appear in a data set. Each record on the disk is
transmitted as one transmission block.
The message formats are as follows:

Note: When station A transmits, read the message
format from right to left. When station A receives,
read from left to right (against the arrow).
Station A sends an inquiry to station B.

The previous sequence will also occur if station B
(the receiving station) failed to recognize ETB.
If station B (the receiving station) received record
2 correctly but station A did not receive the
response, after a 3-second time-out station A sends
ENQ; station B responds with the ACK of the last
good transmission (ACK 0 in the example above);
then station A sends record 3 and normal transmission continues.

Status Message
A status message is a message sent to a remote
station from the 3741 indicating what type of
an error has been encountered. A status
message is sent under the following conditions:
In a transmit mode (T, B, P, or D) after a:
- Transparency check
Disk error
Line check
Message aborted
In
-..:.
-

a receive mode (B, BT, or DT) after a:
Wrong length count
F'ull disk(s)
Line check
Disk error

Other conditions for sending a status message
are:
After a 3741 has responded NAK to a
remote station's line bid request.
After the 3741 has prematurely terminated a
transmission or reception of a message.
- When the RESET key is used to abort the
transmission or reception of data.

The following message formatting is used to
illustrate the sending of a status message after
an errlJr condition has been encountered.

A 3741 will transmit a status message, but will
ignore the reception of one. If two 3741s were
communicating with each other, the status
message would have no significance. If a 3741
was communicating with a CPU, the CPU could
handle the received status message in several
different ways, depending on system programming. One example might be to have the status
message printout on the operator's console
printer.

Modem Cable
The modem cable interfaces to the BSCA at
socket 1-N. This interface conforms to EIA-RS232. For signal lines, '-transmit data' and
'-receive data', a negative voltage is a logic 1 or
mark condition. A positive voltage is a logic 0
or space. For all other lines, positive voltage indicates on, negative voltage indicates off. Positive
levels may be +3 to +25 volts. Negative levels
may be -3 to -25 volts.

COMMUNICATIONS FEATURES
Synchronous Clock with BSCA
(see page 14-79 for EBSCA)

When modems are attached that do not have their
own clocking, the synchronous clock feature provides a clock to BSCA controller. The synchronous clock feature is mounted in l-V and provides a 153.6-kHz oscillator. pulse to the BSCA.
From this oscillator, the BSCA generates a 1200Hz clock for 1200 bps operation or a 600-Hz clock
for 600 bps (baud rate).

"A5" is hex representation for EBCDIC lower
case V. x x x are the 3 ID characters programmed
on the terminal ID feature card.

Terminal Identification
This feature has two functions. One is to transmit
a four-character terminal identification sequence.
The first character of the 3741 sequence is always
an EBCDIC lower case, alpha v (hex A5). The last
three characters are unique to each 3741 terminal
and are programmed on the feature card. The
unique ID characters are pre-assigned at the
factory.

The second function is to compare a received
identification sequence of up to 15 characters
to a sequence keyed by the operator.
This function compares the terminal ID sent by
the remote station to the one keyed in by the
operator. The operator keys this before entering
communications mode. The BSCA controller
detects the keyed sequence by the position of
the cursor. The cursor must be positioned after
the last keyed in character (15 or less). To bypass this feature, the cursor must be in position
1 when entering communications.

KE!ylock

B

The keylock is an electrical switch that controls
the selection of communications mode. This
feature provides a keylock which controls selection of communications mode. With the key lock
in the locked position, communications mode can
not be selected. In the unlocked position, the
3741 can be placed in communications mode.
Once the mode is selected, the keylock can be
placed in the locked position and the terminal
remains in this mode.

Operator I D Reader

II

This feature is used to read an operator identification card and transmit the information to a
CPU, which is programmed to accept only valid
sequences.

Terminal ID Card

10 Character Jumper Placement

The last three characters of the 3741 terminal ID
sequence are programmed on this card which is
installed in sockets Y and Z.
The 3741 will transmit its terminal I D during initial handshaking preceding the first ENQ or ACK 0
depending on the mode.

The operator I D reader feature consists of two
parts: the ID reader, which sets on the 3741
table top, and the ID reader card, which is
mounted in feature half planar stockets U and X.
The ID reader is read'f when TB, BB, DB, or PB is
displayed. As the card is inserted, the magnetically encoded data is read and the data signal
is sent to the BSCA controller. The data signal
is sent to the I D reader card where it is decoded.
Decoded information is then transferred serially
to the BSCA controller where the ID characters
are assembled. Aft,er the complete I D is read,
the controller will send it to a CPU.

This line indicates the presence of carrier on the
receive input. An up level will be present when
carrier has been present on the 'receive input'
for between 10 and 20 milliseconds. This line
will drop between 5 and 15 milliseconds after
carrier has dropped. The BSCA does not use this
line.

This line is AN Ded with 'data set ready'. Hence,
when 'request to send' and data set ready' are up,
the carrier is immediately put on the transmission
line. When 'request to send' or 'data set ready' is
down, no carrier is emitted.

Ring Indicator (RI) - Switched Line Only

This line is keyed by the demodulator section.
When space frequency is being received over the
transmission line, the receive data line is at its up
level. When mark frequency is being received, the
receive data line is at its down level. When the
received signal (mark or space) is below the threshold setting of the carrier-detect circuitry, the
receive data line will be clamped to its down
level. For 2-wire operation, a clamp is provided
to hold the receive data line to a down level while
the modem is transmitting.

Clear to Send (CTS)
This line is keyed by the modem. Its up level
tells the BSCA that the BSCA may key the 'send
data' line. Its down level merely signifies that
the 'request to send' line or 'data set .ready' is
at the down level and, hence, the transmitter
has been turned off.
There are three delay options on a non-switched line,
selectable by strapping associated with the 'clear
to send' line. Each delay is defined as the time
between up level being put on the'request to send'
line and an up level appearing on the 'clear to
send' line.
Data Set Ready (DSR) - Non-switched Line Only
This line is driven by the modem and is a
power on indication for the line adapter.
Data Set Ready (DSR) - Switched Line Only
The on condition indicates that the modem
is connected to the line and ready to exchange
further control signals with the BSCA equipment
to initiate the exchange of data.
The off condition indicates that the associated
modem is not ready to operate. The off condition of this circuit does not impair the operation
of ring indicator.
Signal Ground (SG)
This circuit provides a common ground reference
for all circuits in .the interface.

Signals on this circuit indicate whether a calling
signal is being received by the AA feature. The
on condition indicates that a calling signal is being
received. The off condition indicates that no calling signal is being received.

BSCA to Modem Interface
The EIA interface is used
EIA:

Data Terminal Ready (DTR)
Signals on this circuit control switching of the AA
feature and the associated modem to or from the
line.
The on condition (indicating that the data terminal
equipment is ready to operate) prepares the AA
feature to connect the associated modem to the
iine and maintains this connection.
When the AA feature is conditioned for automatic
answering of calls, connection to the line occurs
only in response to a combination of the ON condition data terminal ready and calling indicator.
The off condition causes the AA feature to drop
the line (go to hook), when the transmission of
data has been complete. The OFF condition of
'data terminal ready' does not inhibit the operation
of calling indicator.
When data terminal ready is turned off, it is not
turned on again until 'data set ready' is turned off.

1200 bps Line Adapter

Location

General

The line adapter board housing the pluggable
cards making up the 1200 bps line adapter is
located against the right front cover of the
machine as viewed from the rear. It is easily
detached from the cover to allow servicing
accessibility.

The 1200 bps line adapter is an under-the-cover
modem designed to operate at up to 1200 bps
on World Trade or domestic non-switched lines
and U.S. switched facilities.
The line adapter converts a two-level business
machine signal into a signal suitable for transmission over a voice grade telephone channel.
At the receiver, the line signal is converted
back into a two-level business machine signal.
Information is handled serially bv bit and by
character. Synchronism is not maintained
between information on the send data interface
lead and the line signal.
Therefore, synchronous clock feature is a prerequisite for the line adapter feature.

Input Requirements

Communications Line (receiver input)
For four-wire operation, the receive and transmit lines are separate. For two-wire operation,
the receive and transmit lines are jumpered
together.

Receiver Sensitivity
This modem will operate properly with signals,
at the receive line terminals, between -43 dBm
and -8 dBm.

Receiver Input Impedance
ZIN

= 600n ± 10%

Frequency Limitations
The receive frequencies are:
Mark

1300 Hz ± 10 Hz

Space

2100 Hz ± 10 Hz

There is no modem WRAP feature.

Interface from 3741 BSCA to 1200 bps Line
Adapter

Data Set Ready (DSR) - Non-switched Line Only
- To 3741

Request to Send·(RTS) - From 3741

This line is driven by the line adapter and is a
power on indication for the line adapter.

This line is keyed by the BSCA. It controls the
turn on and turn off of the modulator (which of
the two frequencies is emitted is controlled by
the send-data line as above).
This line is ANDed with 'data set ready'. Hence,
when 'request to send' and 'data set ready' are up,
the carrier is immediately put on the transmission
line. When 'request to send' or 'data set ready' is
down, no carrier is emitted.

Data Set Ready (DSR) - Switched Line Only To 3741
The on condition indicates that the line adapter
is connected to the line and ready to exchange
further control signals with the BSCA equipment
to initiate the exchange of data.
The off condition indicates that the associated
modem is not ready to operate. The off condition
of this circuit does not impair the operation of
ring indicator.

Clear To Send (CTS) - To 3741
The line is keyed by the line adapter. Its up
level tells the BSCA that the BSCA may key the
'send data' line.
Its down level merely signifies that the 'request to
send' line or 'data set ready' is at the down level
and, hence, the transmitter has been turned off.
There are three delay options on non-switched
line, selectable by strapping, associated with the
'clear to send' line. Each delay is defined as the
time between up level being put on the 'request
to send' line and an up level appearing on the
'clear to send' line.
25 ms - delay between 20 and 40 ms
75 ms - delay between 75 and 115 ms
200 ms - delay between 200 and 300 ms
On very short lines or on lines without echo suppressors, the shorter 'clear to send' delays may
be used.
'Clear to send' delay can be jumpered on the
non-switched line line-adapter board. It is fixed
at 200 ms on the .switched card.
Echo-clamp delay associated with 'clear to send',
is fixed at 130 ms on adapter boards for switched
lines (on early machines it is fixed at zero delay) ..
On boards for non-switched lines, three echoclamp delay options are available: 0 ms, 50 ms,
and 130 ms, used with 'clear to send' delays of
25 ms, 75 ms, and 200 ms respectively.

PN 1619230

14-56

The on condition (indicating that the data terminal equipment is ready to operate) prepares
the AA feature to connect the associated modem
to the line and maintains this connection.
When the AA feature is conditioned for automatic
answering of calls, connection to the line occurs
onl" in response to a combination of the on condition 'data terminal ready' and calling indicator.
The off condition causes the AA feature to drop
the line (go to hook), when the transmission of
data has been complete. The off condition of
'data terminal ready' does not inhibit the operation of calling indicator.
When 'data terminal ready' is turned off, it is not
turned on again until 'data set ready' is turned
off.

Signal Ground (SG) - From 3741
ReGeive Data (RD) - To 3741
This circuit provides a common ground reference
for all circuits in the interface.

Carrier Detected (CD) - To 3741
This line indicates the presence of carrier on the
receive input. An up level will be present when
carrier has been present on the 'receive input'
for between 10 and 20 milliseconds. This line
will drop between 5 and 15 milliseconds after
carrier has dropped. The BSCA does not use
this line.

Ring Indicator (RI) - Switched Line OnlyTo 3741
Signals on this circuit indicate whether a calling
signal is being received by the AA feature. The
on condition indicates that a calling signal is being
.received. The off condition indicates that no
calling signal is being received.

Data Terminal Ready (DTR) - From 3741 Switched Line Only
Signals on this circuit control switching of the
AA feature and the associated modem to or
from the line.

The line is keyed by the demodulator section.
When space frequency (2100 Hz) is being received over the transmission line, the receive
data line is at its up level. When mark frequency
(1300 Hz) is being received, the receive data
line is at its down level. When the received signal
(mark or space) is below the threshold setting of
the carrier-detect circuitry, the receive data line
will be clamped to its down level. For two wire
operation, a clamp is provided to hold the receive data line to a down level while the modem
is transmitting.

Transmit Data (TO) - From 3741
This line is keyed by the BSCA when data is to
be transmitted. The data is presented serial-bycharacter and serial-by-bit. An up level on this
lim! causes the modulator to put the space
frequency (2100 Hz) on the transmission line .
The down level causes the mark frequency
(1300 Hz) to be put on the transmission line.

Interface from 1200 bps Line Adapter to
Coupler
There are two analog interface leads to the
coupler; 'data tip' and 'data ring'. The digital
interface to the coupler is compatible in levels
and sense to EIA RS232C/CCITT recommendation V.24.

Coupler Cut Through (CCT) - To Adapter
Signals on this lead indicate whether the coupling
unit.is ready for data or dialing. The up level indicates that the coupling unit is ready. The down
level is present at all other times.

Off Hook (OH) - To Adapter
The signals on this lead provide 'off hook' and
'on hook' signals to the line adapter. An up level
(on condition) on the OH lead causes a relay to
operate which completes a DC path to indicate
'off hook' to the serving central office and trip
any incoming ringing signal.

Data Tip (DT) and Data Ring (DR) - To/From
Adapter
These lines provide an analog signal path between
the line adapter and the coupler.

BSCA to Modem Interface
Switch Hook (SH) - To Adapter

\ Operation and Configuration
Non-switched Line Operation
The non-switched line adapter consists of two
cards; transmit and receive.
The transmit card takes serial binary data and
converts it to frequency-shift-modulated analog
data. On the board assembly, the 'echo clamp'
delay is adjustable, by jumpering, to correspond
with Iclear to send ' delay jumpering as follows:
CTS Delay

Echo Clamp Delay

25 ms

Oms

75 ms

50 ms

200 ms

130 ms

The receive card takes analog frequency-shift-key
(FSK) data from the line and converts it to
serial binary data. The threshold control is permanently wired for -33 dBm. Signals, whose
level are less than -33 dBm, will cause 'carrier
detect' to go off and clamp received data.
Jumpering is provided on the board assembly
to jumper the transmitter output transformer and
the receiver input transformer for two wire operation. Also for two wire operation, transmit
clamp clamps the Ireceive data' line while data is
being transmitted.
In the non-switched line adapter, 'data set ready'
is always on.

Switched Line Operation
The switched line configuration consists of four
c~rds; transmit, receive, AA basic, and AA
interface.
The function of the transmitter and receiver
cards is the same as in the non-switched configurations except:
1.

Switched line is permanently wired for
two-wire operation including line transformers and transmit clamp.

2.

'Clear-to-send' delay is permanently wired
for 200 ms. 'Echo clamp' delay is permanently wired for 130 ms (in early machines
it is wired for 0 ms).

3.

Threshold control is permanently wired
for -43 dBm minimum level.

4.

'Data set ready' is controlled by the AA
cards.

The AA cards monitor control lines from the
CBS data coupler and generate signals to the
BSCA and coupler. 'Data modem ready' is
permanently on. 'Data terminal ready' being on
from the BSCA permits AA to detect ringing
signal from the coupler. AA signals 'off hook'
to the coupler, answering the phone. The AA
then generates a 3.5-second 2100-Hz answertone to the remote end and turns on
'Data set ready'. After the answertone is sent,
the line is under control of the transmitter.
receiver cards.
In order to do manual answer with a CBS data
coupler handset, 'data terminal ready' must be
held off by not being in communications mode.

Switched Line Transmit Level Adjustment
Procedure

The switched line configuration consists of the
basic modem and autoanswer.
It is used only in U.S. and requires a common
carrier type CBS automatic data coupler (series
5 or later) or equivalent. The local loop from
the serving central office must be a type II loop
for DATA-PHONE* or Data Access Arrangement (DAA).

";

The CBS coupler should be wired such that the
line adapter is connected to the line when the
associated telephone's handset is in its cradle
(exclusion key not operated). Conversely, the
exclusion key must be operated to use the handset for voice communication. The telephone
set ringer should be connected on the line side
of the exclusion key.

Call Sequence

Manual Answer Sequence

Autoanswer Sequence

Manual Call Sequence

In order to perform manual answer operation,
the 3741 should not be in communications mode.
(If the 3741 is set up for communications before
a call is received, autoanswer sequence will take
place.) Lifting the handset causes the SH, OH,
and CCT to turn on. After answering the phone,
the operator sets up the 3741 for the appropriate
communications mode T, P, B, R, or 0 causing
DTR to turn on. To go to data mode the handset is replaced causing DSR to come on and
data transmission takes place. If there is no
operator intervention, automatic disconne~ion
will occur at the completion of communications.

To perform autoanswer function, the 3741
is set up in appropriate communications mode.
This causes 'data terminal ready' to come on
and enables the autoanswer. The autoanswer
detects signals on 'ring indicator' and turns on
'off hook' to the coupler. This causes 'coupler
cut through' to come on when the line adapter
is connected to the line. AA then sends the
answertone and turns on 'data set ready'.
After data communications, the BSCA disconnects by dropping 'data terminal ready'
which turns off 'off hook'.

To make a manual call, the operator sets up the
machine for the appropriate communications
mode, T, P, R, B, or 0 causing the BSCA to turn
on DTR. At this point the operator lifts the
handset, raises the exclusion key, and places the
call to the remote end. This causes SH, OH, and
CCT to turn on. To go to data mode, the handset is replaced causing DSR to turn on and data
transmission to take place. If there is no operator
intervention, the BSCA will drop DTR causing
disconnection at the completion of communication.

WT PUBLIC SWITCHED NETWORK (PSN)
This feature consists of a 1200 bps line adapter
(modem) and a line plate assembly (coupler).

The 3.5-second answertone is sent by the feature
half planar before binary communications starts.

Line Adapter Description

This modem is permanently wired for 2-wire
operations.

The modem consists of four cards: transmit,
receive, equalizer, and PSN cards.

Line Plate Assembly Description

The transmit card takes serial binary data and
converts it to frequency-shift modulated analog
data. Binary zeros are sent as a mark frequency
of 1300 Hz and binary ones are sent as a space
frequency of2100 Hz. On the transmit card,
'echo clamp' is permanently wired for 130 milliseconds (early boards are wired for zero delay).
'Clear to send delay' is permanently wired for 200
milliseconds. The maximum output transmit
level is -1.8 dBm. Since the dB drop of the line
plate is typically 3 dB (maximum of 5 dB), the
maximum output of the line plate to the telephone lines is typically -5 dBm.

The line plate assembly monitors the telephone
lines and couples the modem to the telephone
lines.
.
With 'CDSTL' at a down level ('transfer relay'
off), lifting the handset (if so equipped) causes
the telephone line current to flow through a
optical isolation diode. If the telephone rings,
alternating current flows through both optical
isolation diodes. The current through these
diodes causes the 'current detect' lines to go to
a down level (logical one).

The receive card takes analog frequency-shiftkey (FSK) data from the telephone lines and
converts it to serial binary data. The threshold
control is permanently wired for -43 dBm. Signals whose levels are less than -43 dBm will cause
the received data to go to all zeros.

With CDSTL on ('transfer relay' on) the telephone lines are connected through a full-wave
diode bridge.and a dc isolation transformer to
the modem's transmitter and receiver. The dc
current through the transformer's primary and
secondary should be approximately balanced for
linear ac operation. This is done by adjusting
the dc resistance with jumpers U4-U 11 (see 533).

The equalizer card amplifies the space frequency
and attenuates the mark frequency. Therefore,
all evaluations of the received telephone signal
should be made at the space frequency of 2100
Hz.

If no handset is used, a handset can be electrically simulated by the R-C network at
U2-U3 (see 533).

The PSN card monitors the 'current detect' lines
from the line plate and generates 'data set ready'
(DSR) and 'ring indicate' (RI) to the feature
half planar. DSR comes on with 'connect
data set to line' (CDSTL) or if one 'current detect' line stays on (down level) for 40 milliseconds. If both 'current detect' lines are
changing state at a rate faster than 15 Hz, the
RI line comes on (up level). CDSTL is buffered
on the PSN card and its up level causes the line
plate's relay to couple the modem's data line to
the telephone lines.

EXPANDED COMMUNICATIONS
(EBSCA) FEATURE
The Expanded Binary Synchronous Communications Adapter (EBSCA) feature allows the
machine to function as a point to point, or multipoi ... tributary terminal. The basic BSCA function allows data transmission using EBCDIC
directly as the communications line code. Operation is half duplex over private line, common
carrier non-sw~tched line, or a common carrier
switched network. The mode of transmission
is synchronous, serial-by-bit, and serial-bycharacter.

Operation
When in communications mode the EBSCA controller makes use of the MPU microcontroller,
the disk unit controller, and the microcontroller
buffer interface and the display unit controller
to:
1.

Perform all disk functions such as read
or write, write checking or checking, or .
updating information on the index track.

2.

Transfer~ data

3.

between the disk unit and
the EBSCA controller. The transfer in
transmit mode is from the disk unit to
the buffer, to the E BSCA controller data
register, to the modem. In receive mode
the flow is reversed.
Display status, error codes and CPU ID
information for review by the operator.

The communications modes are:
T To transmit unblocked data
P -~·o "lransmit unblocked hex data
R To receive data only (blocked or unblocked)
B To transmit unblocked data, auto-turn
around, and receive data
D To transmit unblocked hex data, autoturn around, and receive
J Transmit blocked data
K Transmit blocked data, auto-turn around
and receive
Inquiry
W Execute CE Test Modes

The EBSCA controller also performs the serializing/deserializing function on the data transmitted or received.

Records

If execute program mode is to be used (model 4)
Sector 3 of track 0 must be set up as follows:
Columns 2 through 15 should contain the
object data set name, drive number and
object program name.
Column 21 should contain an E for execute or an A for compress.
If print unattended operation is to be done and
format A points to another format buffer, that
format must be selected before entering
communications.

I

14-68

Place equal sign (=) wherever
character in that corresponding position in data
record is not to be compared.
Place 'compare' characters
in all other positions.

Unlike formats, there is no 'E' (ending) character
in these marks (programs). The transmit masks
are compared to the record length being transmitted; any other positions in the buffer are
ignored. For the receive mask, the number of
first character (» must equal the number of
characters being received on the line. The
duplicate data ends at the first non-blank character
in the mask. The last duplicate character cannot
be a blank. The record length is the sum of the
characters plus the dupiicate data characters.

An operator can select communications mode
from update or read index modes only. Upon
selection of the communications mode from
index mode or update mode, the data set label
will be checked for valid extents (BOE, EOE,
EOD) and for HDR1. If the extents are not
valid a B error is posted. If the extents are
valid the following steps occur:

1.

If the key lock is present, it must be
unlocked.

2.

If terminal 10 is present, the terminal 10
is read and stored in the previous buffer.
Terminal 10 and multipoint features are
mutually exclusive.

3.

If terminal 10 is present, the cursor must
be at position 16 or less. All positions
below the cursor are assumed to be the
CPU 10, or input for wrap test 1, and are
transferred to the buffer. The CPU 10
must be entered before communications
mode is selected and must be 15 characters
or less. If no CPU lOis entered, the
BSCA controller will accept any 10 from
the Remote end.

4.

The second disk feature will be set to
record 00007 on the index track.

If a failure occurs in steps 1 or 3, an H error is
posted. Step 4 could result in posting disk
errors.
The record at the current address position of
disk 1 is read and a C for communications is
posted as the mode indicator in the status line of
the display (positions 38). If print unattended
mode is desired, the FUNCT SEL upper
followed by print EOO keys must be pressed.
In this case, the AUTO REC AOV switch must
be on or an H error will be posted.
If execute program mode is desired, the E key
must be pressed.
Note: Unattended printing and execute program mode are mutually exclusive and attempting to select both will result in an H error.

On switched lines and if the operator will be
dialing the call, the M key must then be pressed.
The I, J, K, T, P, R, B, or 0 key must then be
pressed to select the function desired. Pressing
the M key must be omitted if the 3741 will be
answering a call, or if on leased lines, or if
using inquiry mode.

On switched lines, pressing the M key indicates
to the EBSCA controller that it is calling and
therefore will transmit a line bid first, regardless
of the mode. Not pressing the M key tells the
EBSCA controller to wait for a line bid. On
non-switched line the M key is not required because the station in transmit mode will transmit a line bid first. On non-switched multipoint lines the M key is not required because
the station always looks for its address first.
If inquiry mode is selected, the record length
of the data set from which communications was
entered must be 128. If not an H error is posted.
An H error is also posted if the operator has
first pressed FUNCT SEL upper and PRINT
TO EOO, and then attempts to strike one of
the transmit keys (T, P, or J), the inquiry key
( I), or the test mode key (W).
The letter key pressed will replace the C in the
status line. If the 10 reader is installed, a B will
be posted on the status line in position 39. The
badge can then be inserted and read into the
buffer or the REC AOV key can be pressed to
skip the 10 reader functions as in 3741 to 3741
communications.
If the R key is pressed and if a receive data and
insert constants mask is being used for the first
data set and communications was entered from
update mode, a check is made of the mask
length (the number of dup characters plus>
(greater than) signs). This length must match
the record length of the current data set or
an H error is posted.
The EBSCA controller then checks jumper 4.
It can be in OTR (data terminal ready) or
COSTL (connect data set to line) mOde. The
OTR mode is generally used for switched lines
and the COSTL generally for non-switched line
communications.

In CDSTL mode, the EBSCA controller then
looks for 'data set ready' (DSR), or the 'ring
indicator' (RI) to come up 1m. When either
is detected, communications will proceed. If
the EBSCA controller detects that the send
answertone strap is on, the first transmission
is three seconds of space (logical 0).
In DTR mode the EBSCA controller will check
for 'data set ready' (DSR) being off, then it
will bring 'data terminal ready' (DTR) up
The operator will then place the call if this is
the calling station. After the data set button
on the modem is pressed causing DSR to come
on, the controller will make or wait for a line
bid and exchange ID codes. From this point
on, CDSTL and DTR operation is identical
and is dependent on the operator selected
mode, transmit, receive.

If communications mode was selected from update mode, the record at the current address and

from index mode, the current label will be checked
to see that the bypass data set position (position
41) does not contain a B, before the data set
is transmitted. If a B is found, the EBSCA controller causes a search for another data set to be
transmitted.

Transmit Mode (T or P) (Unblocked Data)
The records (1 to 128 characters) to be sent are
read from the disk into the field totals or hold
buffers. Reading records is controlled by the
disk unit controller and the microcontroller/
buffer interface. The transmitting of records is
under control of the EBSCA controller and the
microcontroller/buffer interface. Therefore, the
reading and transmitting of records takes place
simultaneously. As a record is being read into
one buffer, the previous record is being transmitted from the other buffer. Data is transmitted
one record at a time, serial-by-bit, serial-by-byte.
A positive response from the receive end will
initiate the transmitting of the next record and
the reading of the following record ..
Data is transferred from the field totals or hold
buffer one byte at a ti me to the data register
on the EBSCA controller. From the data
register it is transferred serially by bit to the
transmit line.
Transmitting continues until the last record
of the data set is sent. At this time, the disk is
returned to the index track to look for another
data set to transmit. All data sets which contain
an HDR1 and do not contain a B in the bypass
data set position of the label and which have
a label record number higher than the one just
transmitted, will be transmitted. When the
second disk feature is installed, any H D R1 data
set on that disk which does not contain the B
in the bypass position of the label will also be
transmitted.
If an invalid label is found, which is not a bypass
data set, communications will be terminated
with the appropriate error code displayed.
When there are no more data sets to be transmittE!d, the EBSCA controller will send the end of
transmissions sequence (EOT) and post a T in
position 39 of the status line, reSUlting in TT or
PT mode.

A null record is always transmitted between
data sets and before the EOT sequence. If a data
set is continued on disk 2, the first valid data set
on disk 2 is sent as a continuation of this data
set. If position 45 of the data set label contains
a C and the second disk is not ready, transmission
will terminate and a 0 error is posted.

Note: P mode must be used if hex data is to
be transmitted.

Blocked Transmit Mode (J)
In this mode records are read into the hold
buffer and transferred into one of two 512-byte
buffers. (One 512-byte buffer consists of format
buffers 1, 2, 3, and 4; the other consists of format buffers 5, 6, 7, and 8).

Transmit/Receive Mode (B, 0, or K)
If the mode is B, 0, or K, the transmit sequence
is identical to the T, P, or J mode respectively.
However, when all data sets have been transmitted, the EBSCA controller causes the disk
to be positioned at EOE + 1 of the last transmitted data set. The first received data set
label is the first valid data set label after the
last data set transmitted. On switched lines,
the controller will wait 20 seconds for a line
bid. If none is received, a C error will be posted
on the display and a line disconnect will be made.
The controller will then wait for a call, which
will put the controller into a receive mode. On
leased lines there is no time out, "C" error, or
disconnect.

Receive Mode (R)
The mask (program) that was entered into format buffer 6 will be moved internally to another
location while format buffer 8 is used for data.
The mask (program) that is currently being used
is loaded in the field totals buffer. If a mask is
used, the records being transferred from the
hold buffer are compared character for character
against the mask before using transferred to a
512-byte buffer.
After each record is inserted into the 512-bvte
buffer, an I RS (inter-record separator) character
is inserted. Only an integer number of records
are stored, that is, three 128-byte records. As
with T or P modes, these 512-byte buffers are
transmitted alternately one being 'filled' while
the other is being transmitted. After communications is complete, the masks (programs) are
restored to format buffers 8,9, and A and the
field totals buffer. Except for the above, this
mode is similar to T or P mode.
In this mode, in addition to data-link control
characters, the I RS and I FS (inter field separator)
characters can not appear in the data stream
(data records).

Data is received serially by bit, serially by character in blocks. It is assembled in the EBSCA
controller data register and transferred one byte
at a time to one of two 512-byte buffers as used
to transmit mode (J).
Receive mode can receive blocked or non-blocked
data. The non-blocked data (1-128 character /
block) will alternately be put in the format
buffers 2 and 6.
In the blocked mode (1-512 characters/block),
data will be alternately put into the two 512-byte
buffers (defined in blocked transmit mode (J)).
The I RS character sent after each record is not
put into the buffer. A 512-byte buffer does not
have to be full to overlap to the other buffer.
Therefore, any block length from 1-512 can be
received.
While data is being received into one 512-byte
buffer, the data in the other 512-byte buffer is
being moved to the disk (hold) buffer a record
at a time. When the disk buffer is full, the write,
write check, and increment are started. If a
buffer of data is received before the previous
buffer has been written to disk, WACKs will be
sent at two-second intervals. This is to keep
the line up until the response to the block of
data can be sent. In this way all forming of
records and disk operations are overlapped with
the receiving of data.

After a complete data set has been received, the
controller will cause the data set label to be updated in several positions. These are record
length, end of extent, end of data and beginning
of extent. The record length will equal the
length of the records received. EOE will be the
address of the last record written. EOO is one
greater than EOE. BOE is the location of the
first record in the data set. BOE is the location
of the first record in the data set. BOE is unchanged on the first data set received if the
operator selected receive mode. If any of the
transmit modes has been utilized or more than
one data set is received, BOE is set to one
record address greater than the EOE of the last
data set transmitted or received. The multivolume indicator is also updated.
If another data set is to be received, the EBSCA
controller searches for the next valid data set
label. It will internally establish a BOE which is
equal to EOE plus one (or EOO) of the data set
just received and then position the disk to receive the next data set. Disk 2, if installed,
appears as an extension to disk 1. If a data set
overflows from disk 1 to disk 2, a C is placed
in position 45 (multivolume indicator) of the
data set label on disk 1. The rest of the data set
will be received on disk 2 and an L will be
placed in position 45 of the first label used on
disk 2. If a record is written in position 73026
on disk 1, and this is not the last record of the
data set, the next record will be written on disk
2 record 01001. If in this case the second disk
feature is not installed or the second disk is not
in a ready state, (no diskette inserted, etc.), a
o error is posted, communications are terminated,
and a J is posted in position 39 of the status line.
Any error or operator intervention will cause
the EBSCA controller to go to a disconnect
sequence in which the error code is posted on
the display and is sent to the other station as
part of the status message.

Inquiry Mode

RESET Key

Inquiry mode is basically an attended transmitreceive mode. It can be selected from the index
track, in which case a seek to BOE will occur,
the screen will be blanked, and the internal
EODwili be set equal to BOE. It can also be
selected from update mode, in which case only
the screen will be blanked.

The RESET key can be used to terminate
communications mode at any time. If data has
transferred, an S error will be posted. The controller will then proceed with the normal error
disconnect sequence and take the machine out
of communications mode. If the RESET
key is pressed twice or is pressed following an
error, the 3741 will leave communications mode
immediately. (See inquiry mode for exceptions.)

The operator enters a message of length 1-128
characters, and presses FUNCT SEL upper and
S. The record will be written to disk at the internal EOD. When the 3741 is polled by the
CPU, it will send the inquiry message. Then
after the CPU selects the 3741, or immediately
the CPU will send the responses to the inquiry
message. The responses may be a different
length than the inquiry message, but they will
all be written on the disk at length 128.
All responses are combined into the one data
set. Therefore, a null data set is ignored in
inquiry mode, and the update to the data set
label is down when an EOT is received. After
the update, the code is returned to the inquiry
. key loop with the disk positioned at the first
response received. The operator may key in
another message, or look at the responses
received.
The transmission of the inquiry message is done
in unblocked mode. The receiving of the
responses can be blocked or unblocked. However, there isn't any masking in inquiry mode.
Inquiry is supported for operation on a multipoint line using multipoint line control. However, it is still possible to select inquiry mode on
point-to-point lines and not have an error posted.
The RESET key during the transmitting or
receiving of data under inquiry mode will not
exit EBSCA, but will return the code to the
inquiry key loop, except when a D error is
posted.

EBSCA CE Test Mode (W)
This mode is used if any of the six CE tests are
to be executed. The test number to be executed
must be entered in column 1 of the CRT before
entering communications. If test 1 is selected,
columns 2 through 15 contain the data to be
transmitted.
See Diagnostic Aids Expanded Communications
(EBSCA) Test Procedures in Section 8, for details
about the test modes.

When the EBSCA controller detects the 'data set

modem, it displays a 1 in position 4. Wh,en 'data

During receive operations, a running count is
maintained of all CRC checks, where transmitted
block check characters (BCC) do not match
those calculated by the EBSCA controller. This
count is displayed in positions 14, 15, and 16.
This is an indication of the number of transmission blocks received with errors that required
retransmission.

During communications, a count is maintained
of two-second time-outs in positions 24, 25, and
26. These time-outs may occur during unusually
long disk operations such as a long seek. During
receive operations, this would indicate the
number of WACKs (wait acknowledgment)
sent. In transmit mode, it would indicate the
number of TTDs sent.

During a transmit mode, a count of NAKs (negative acknowledgments) that are received is displayed in positions 19,20, and 21. These NAKs
have been received from the remote station as
a result of data blocks received in error, TTDs
(temporary text delays), or remote NAKs to a
line bid.

Also during communications, a count of threesecond time-outs is displayed in positions 29, 30,
and 31. These time-outs occur whenever there
is a three-second period of inactivity on the
communication line. During a 20-second disconnect time-out on switched lines, this counter
is incremented seven times.

All four counters are initialized to 000 when
communications mode is entered or on any subsequent call after an error has occurred.

Note: When short records are transmitted in
blocked (J or K) mode, 'clear to send' may not
be logged on or may be on only a short time.
This is because the controller is busy reading and
buffering records. The actual operation of 'clear
to send' may be checked at the modem cable
interface (1-N-B10).

Data Flow
The data path and register control lines extend
from the MPU planar to the feature half planar
via cross connectors and are terminated at a
register. All data transfer between the EBSCA
controller and MPU planar is via this data path
and register. The EBSCA adapter performs the
serialize-deserialize function, timing, and control
functions necessary to interface to the modem.
The EIA drivers and receivers convert EBSCA
adapter logic levels to the required EIA levels.
The microprogram to drive the EBSCA controller
is contained in Read Only Storage (ROS)
mounted on the EBSCA ROS card and interfaces to the MPU planar and feature half planar
ROS at 1-E and 1-F.

Modem Cable
The modem cable interfaces to the BSCA at l-N.
This interface conforms to EIA-RS-232 in the
US, and CCITTv.24 in WT. For signal lines,
'-transmit data' and 'receive data', a negative
voltage is a logic 1 or mark. For all other lines,
positive voltage indicates on, negative voltage
indicates off. Positive levels may be +3 to +25
volts. Negative levels may be -3 to -25 volts.

3741 Model 2 Features with EBSCA
Synchronous Clock
When modems are attached that do not have their
own clocking, the synchronous clock feature
provides a clock to EBSCA controller. The synchronous clock feature is mounted in 1-V and provides a 153.6-kHz oscillator pulse to the EBSCA.
From this oscillator, the EBSCA generates a
1200-Hz clock for 1200-bps operation or a
600-Hz clock for 600-bps (baud rate) operation.
When the synchronous clock card is installed in
1-V, the 153.6-kHz oscillator may be probed
at 1-U-B07. The 1200- or 600-Hz cI ock is at
1-U-B02.
Speed, 600 or 1200 bps, is determined by speed
select jumper or speed select switch (WTC) if
installed.
The BSCA includes self-correction logic to
synchronize clock (1-U-B02) with received data,
(1-N-B11) in receive mode.

This feature is used to read an operator identification card and transmit the information to a
CPU, which is programmed to accept only valid
sequences.
The operator 10 card reader feature consists of
two parts: the I0 reader, which sets on the
3741 table top, and the 10 reader card, which is
mounted in 1-W and 1-X. The 10 reader is
ready when TB, JB, KB, IB, BB, DB, or PB is
displayed. As the card is inserted, the mpgnetically encoded data is read, and the data signal
is sent to the EBSCA controller. The data
signal is sent to the 10 reader card where it is
decoded. Decoded information is then transferred serially to the EBSCA controller where
the 10 characters are assembled. After the
complete lOis read, and the line connection
made with the CPU, the controller transmits
the 10.

A5 is hex representation for EBCDIC lower
case V.' x x x are th,e 3 10 characters programed on the terminal 10 feature card.
The second function is to compare a received
identification sequence of up to 15 characters
to a sequence keyed by the operator.

This function compare the terminal 10 sent by
the remote station to the one keyed in by the
operator. The operator keys this before entering
communications mode. The BSCA controller
detects the keyed sequence by the position of
the cursor. The cursor must be positioned after
the last keyed in character (15 or less). To bypass this feature, the cursor must be in position
1 when entering communications. Terminal
identification and multipoint features are
I D Reader Cable Position----------,
mutually exclusive on EBSCA.
Keylock Cable Position

Terminal Identification
Multipoint Audible Alarm Cable Position
This feature has two functions. One is to transmit a four-character terminal identification
sequence. The first character of the 3741
sequence is always an EBCDIC lower case,
alpha v (hex A5). The last three characters are
unique to each 3741 terminal and are programmed on the feature card. The unique 10 characters
are pre-assigned at the factory.
The last three characters of the 3741 terminal
10 sequence are programmed on this card, which
is installed at 1-V and 1-Z on the feature half
planar.

Keylock,
Jumper Field---------,
The keylock is an electrical switch that controls
the selection of communication mode. This
feature provides a keylock which controls selection of communications mode. With the keylock in the locked position, communications
mode can not be selected. In the unlocked position, the 3741 can be placed in communications
mode. Once the mode is selected, the keylock
can be placed in the locked position and the
terminal remains in this mode.

The 3741 will transmit its terminal 10 during
initial handshaking preceding the first ENO or
ACK 0 depending on the mode.

The I D reader card also provides regulated
voltage to the I D reader via the feature half

This feature can be bypassed, if the 3741 is
transmitting to another 3741, by pressing the
REC ADV key.

Multipoint Feature
The multipoint feature allows the EBSCA controller to function as a tributary station on a
multipoint or multidrop line.
The multipoint feature assumes one of two
states: message transfer state or control state.
In message transfer state,the feature continuously monitors the line for EaT. When it sees
EaT, it changes to control state and monitors
for its polling or selection address. When the
feature is in control state, seeing STX, SOH, or
DLE-STX on the line or a three-second time-out
without seeing SYN-SYN (character sync)
causes the feature to go back to message transfer
state, another EaT must be seen before the
feature will respond to its polling or selection
address. The feature assumes the message transfer state when powering up.

The multipoint address card provides jumpers
for the multipoint poll address and driver circuits for the audible alarm. The desired poll
address character (hex CO to hex FF) is chosen
from the chart. The corresponding selection
address characters is given next to the poll
address character. Note that they differ by
a hex 40. The polling address for the terminal
is the poll character repeated twice and the
polling sequence that must be sent to 3741 is:
P P SSE P
A A Y Y 'Cl' 'Cl' N A
D D N N
aD

The selection sequence for the same terminal
is:

'81'

14-80

The multipoint feature monitors the line
differently depending on whether the 3741 is
in communications mode or not. If the
machine is in communications mone, the microprogram in RDS exercises the EBSCA controller
and monitors the line. If the machine is not in
communications mode, (if it is in enter, verify,
or uodate, for instance), the EBSC':" controller
still monitors the line. If the controller receives
a valid selection sequence while in con ttol state,
it responds:

If the 3741 is polled (polling sequence), the control station is looking for data and the 3741
must be in a transmit mode (T, P, D, B, J, or K)
to respond positively. If the 3741 is selected
(selection sequence), the control station wants
to transmit data and the 3741 must be in a
receive mode (R or receive portion of B, D, or
K modes) to respond positively.

The slash (/) as the error indicator indicates that
the machine is offline and cannot respond affirm·
atively.
At the time the controller detects the selection
sequence it sounds the audible alarm for about
fivl~ seconds. This is to indicate that the master
station has data to send (selection) and that the
opl~rator should put the terminal into receive
mcde. The alarm is not sounded on the polling
sequence. In this case, it is assumed that if there
is data to send, the operator has set the machine
up in the appropriate transmit mode and is waiting for the poll.

1.

Operator keys the 3741 to perform either
a read to EOF or a single card read.

2.

The MPU (microprocessing unit of the 3741

a. Resets the data recorder attachment and
the data recorder by setting 'I/O POR'.
b. Signals the data recorder attachment to
send a 'read command' signal to the data
recorder.

Service Note: If 'read data ready' never comes up,
or is not detected by the data recorder attachment,
the MPU remains in a loop. The 3741 display shows
no error code, and both machines will be locked up.
To recover from this problem, turn the data recorder
offline. (Set the IBM 5496 TERMINAL switch to
the MANUAL position, or the IBM 129 SPL FEAT
switch 0 F F.) This sets an A 1 error on the 3741
and takes the MPU out of its loop.

5.

The data recorder attachment then captures
the data (1 byte) in latches by:
a. Setting the gate read FL (Figure 1). This
loads the data to register 2 of the data
recorder attachment.
b. As the data byte is latched up by the
3741, the data is sent back to the data
recorder, via 'data bus in' for comparison
with what the data recorder actually sent.
If a data byte does not match, 'read non
compare' is set by the data recorder and
this causes an A3 error to be set on the
. 3741.
c. Setting the 'gate register 2' (Figure 1).
This is the actual data load into register
2 of the data recorder attachment.
d. Setting 'request read cycle'. 'Request
read cycle' resets 'read data ready' to
request another byte of data from the
data recorder.

6.

The data recorder then:
a. Puts the second byte (next byte) of data
on 'data bus out'.
b. Sets 'read data ready' for the second time.
The second 'read data ready' comes up in
56/ls for the IBM 5496 and in 72/ls for the
IBM 129 after the first.
c. Searches for the third (next) byte of data.

The data recorder attachment sends 'read
command' (Figure 1) to the data recorder.
This signal accomplishes the same result as
the pressing of the READ key on the data
recorder.
The data recorder then:
a. Reads an entire card, storing the data in
its buffer.
b. While reading the card, checks for jams
and raises 'transport jam' if one is detected (Figure 1). The data recorder
(129) displays an 88 or 8A, or (5496)
sets the F D CH K light to indicate a
hopper or transport jam.
c. After the reading is complete the data
recorder places the first byte* of data
on 'data bus out'.
d. Sets 'read data ready'. This tells the data
recorder attachment that a byte of data
is on the lines ready to be taken.

*One byte of data is either an 8-bit EBCDIC
code (I BM 129) or a 6-bit BCD code (I BM
5496). (Refer to the translation table, Figure
2).

While the data recorder is searching for the
next data byte, the data recorder attachment:
a .. Places the first data byte into register 2
of the attachment.
b. Latches up the second data byte by repeating steps 5a and 5b.
c. Waits for the signal from the MPU that
the MPU is ready for the next data byte
to be sent.
The MPU then:
a. Checks the '129 attached' Iine to see which
data recorder is attached. If the 129 is
attached, the data sent is in EBCD IC code.
The 3741 also operates in EBCDIC code
and, thus, no translation is required. If
the 5496 is attached, the data sent is in
BCD code and must be translated to
EBCDIC (Figure 2) by the MPU.
b. Places the data byte into the 3741 current
record buffer, after translation if required.
c. Signals the data recorder attachment that
the MPU is ready for the next byte to be
sent to it.
The data recorder attachment then sends
the second (next) data byte to the MPU.

10.

The MPU repeats step 8.

11.

The data recorder then:
a. Puts the next data byte on 'data bus out'.
b. Sets the 'read data ready' line again.

12.

The data recorder attachment now waits
approximately 3 ms while the MPU services
the other devices (such as the diskette).

Notes:
1. The data recorder attachment effectively reads
2 bytes of data every 5.3 or 5.7 ms, depending
on the data recorder attached.
2. During the read operation on a Model 3 or 4,
The MPU leaves the read operation after every
6 bytes of data to check whether other devices,
such as the diskette or printer, need immediate
action. This is how the data recorder attachment time-shares with the Model 3/4 devices.
Refer to Read Instruction in the IBM 3741
Data Station Programming Reference Manual, GA21-9194.

13.

Steps 5 through 12 are repeated until the
data recorder:
a. Senses the last data byte entering the data
recorder I/O buffer.
b. Sets 'op complete'. This signals that the
transmission of data has ended.
c. If the 3741 is a Model 3 or 4, see note 2
below.

Punch Operation
1.

The operator keys the 3741 to perform
either a punch to EOD or a single card
punch.

2.

The MPU then:
a. Resets the data recorder attachment and
the data recorder by setting 'I/O POR'.
b. Signals the data recorder attachment
that a punch operation is to follow.
c. Checks the '129 attached' line (page 14105) to see which data recorder is attached. If the 129 is attached, the
EBCDIC data byte needs no translation.
If the 5496 is attached, the EBCDIC
data byte must be translated to BCD
(Figure 2).
d. Translates the data byte if necessary.
e. Places the data into register 2 of the
data recorder attachment.
f. Signals the data recorder attachment
that the data byte is ready to be sent to
the data recorder.

3.

The data recorder attachment then:
a. Loads the data byte onto 'data bus in'
lines.
b. Compares the data byte on 'data bus
in' to the data byte in register 2. If a
data byte does not match, the data recorder attachment sets an A3 error code.
c. Sets 'punch data ready'.

Service Note: If 'op complete' never
comes up or is not detected by the data
recorder attachment for some reason,
the MPU will remain in a loop. For recovery, see the service note at step 4 on
page 14-101.

14.

If doing a read-to-EOF operation, skip step
15.

15.

This step is for single card read operation.
At this point the data just read is in the
3741 current record buffer and displayed
on the 3741 CRT. The operator must press
REC ADV to write the data onto the diskette.

16.

As soon as 'op complete' is activated, the
3741 data recorder attachment sends another
read command to the data recorder. While
the next card is being read, the 3741 executes an AUTO R EC ADV which writes the
data onto the diskette in the data set displayed when the read to EOF was initiated.

17.

Then the data recorder attachment, the data
recorder, and the MPU repeat steps 4 through
16 until an EOF or EOD card is read (notes
3 and 4).

Service Note: If 'punch data ready'
never comes up, or is not detected by
the data recorder, the MPU remains in a
loop. The 3741 display shows no error
code, and both machines will be locked
up. To recover from this problem, turn
the data recorder offline. (Set the IBM
5496 TERMINAL switch to MANUAL, or
the IBM 129 SPL FEAT switch to OFF.)
This sets an A 1 error on the 3741 and
takes the MPU out of its loop.

Notes (continued):
3. An EOF (end of file) card is any card with ?*
in the first two columns. This card signals the
3741 that the last card has been read and the
job is ended.
4. An EOD (end of data set) card is any card with
?/ in the first two columns. This card signals
the 3741 to end the data set now being used
and to start a new data set with the next card
read.

4.

The data recorder then:
a. Latches up the data byte into its buffer.
b. Sets 'punch busy', which resets
'punch data ready'.
c. Holds 'punch busy' up until the data recorder is ready to receive another byte
of data.

5.

The MPU gates the next data byte into register 2 (steps 2c through 2f).

6.

The data recorder attachment then waits for
'punch busy' to reset.

7.

Now steps 3 through 6 repeat until the data
recorder obtains enough data to punch a
card (for a 3741 Model 3 or 4, see note
below). The data recorder then:
a. Sets 'op complete'. This tells the data
recorder attachment to stop operations
until the card is punched.
b. Punches the card.
c. As long as 'op complete' is activated, the
MPU is checking for card jams and datarecorder-not-readY errors.
d. Activates 'command reset' after the card is
completely punched. This resets 'op
complete' and signals the data recorder
attachment that another card can be
punched.

If you are doing a punch to EOD, continue; if you
are doing a single card punch, the operation is
complete.

8.

When 'op complete' falls (step 7d), the MPU
can initiate another transfer of data to the data
recorder (steps 2 through 7). This is continued until the EOD is reached for the data
set the cards are being punched from.
Note: During the punch operation on the
Model 3 or 4, the MPU leaves the punch
operation every 3 bytes of data to check
the other Model 3/4 devices. This allows
time-sharing during a punch operation.
Refer to Punch Instruction in the IBM
3741 Data Station Programming Reference Manual, GA21-9194.

Online and Ready

129 Attached

Data Bus In

By activating this line, the data recorder indicates
that all switches are set correctly for online operation of the data recorder.

The IBM 129 ties this line active to allow the
3741 to differentiate between an IBM 129
and an IBM 5496.

Hopper Jam

Punch Busy

The data recorder activates this line if a card fails
to feed or register. The failure may be caused by
a jam, an empty hopper, or a full stacker.

The data recorder activates this line when it has
received the byte of data from the 3741 on a
punch operation. When the line is deactivated,
the 3741 can send another byte of data.

These eight lines are the data input to the data
recorder. The IBM 129 uses all eight lines for
EBCDIC characters. The IBM 5496 uses six lines
(bits 1, 2, 4, 8, A and B) for System/3 BCD
characters.

Punch Data Ready
By activating this line, the data recorder attachment indicates that it has put data on 'data bus
in' for the data recorder.

Read Command
The data recorder attachment activates this line
to start a reading operation. This simulates the
pressing of the READ key or button on the data
recorder.

Request Read Cycle
When the data recorder attachment senses the
'read data ready' signal, it activates this line,
which allows the data recorder to search its
storage for the next data byte.

I/O Compare Command
This signal tells the data recorder to allocate time
for comparison of data read to data returned
from the data recorder attachment.

I/O POR

Transport Jam
Register Gate Control 0

This line indicates that a card failed to exit the
read/punch station at the proper time. The IBM
129 also activates this signal when it is powered
up when in online mode. If this signal is not
functioning, the 3741 will not know a jam occurred and multiple cards may be fed.

The register gate control lines from planar socket
1-L are used as clocks for the data recorder attachment. 'Reg gate control 0' is R-ti me

Select Module 3A

During a read operation, the 3741 wraps each
byte of read data back to the data recorder for
compare. If the data fails to match the sent data,
this line is activated.

This line selects the module containing the registers that facilitate the data recorder attachment.

Reg Group Select Other
This line, along with the four previously mentioned
register control lines, enables the MPU to control
the data recorder attachment register module.

Read Data Ready
This signal indicates that a byte of data is on 'data
bus i~' and the 3741 can take the byte at any time.

By activating this line, the data recorder is reset.

Data Bus Out
Thses eight lines are data output from the data recorder. The IBM 129 sends an eight-bit EBCDIC
byte on these lines and the IBM 5496 sends a sixbit System/3 BCD byte.

Introduction

Operation

This feature permits operator-attended exchange
of data between the diskette in an IBM 3741, and
any of a group of I/O devices, or a System/3.

The input to 3741 and output from 3741
operations are called read from attachment
and write to attachment respectively .

General Description
The 3741 I/O adapter is on a half planar, mounted
in the upper level-one position on the logic gate.
It is mutually exclusive with the data recorder feature. It uses the microprogrammed control unit to
provide the timing and controls needed to attach
the 3741 Data Station to an attachment. On models
3 and 4, the I/O adapter extends the instruction set.
The I/O adapter is connected to the attachment by
a cable that is available in 20- or 40-foot (6100 or
12200 mm) lengths.
Logical elements include ROS modules, a register
module (unique group-select registers, numbers
16-19*), receivers/drivers, and logic necessary to
communicate with the attachment.

Three modes of data transfer are available: by
character, by record, or by file. These modes of
transfer can be used when moving data in either
direction between the 3741 and the attachment.
Character transfer: Allows the user to control read/
write operations character by character. The instructions are loaded into any of the Model 1 or
2 format buffers to control character transfers.
Record transfer: Allows processing one record at
a time with formatting. Records can be up to 128
characters long.
File transfer: Processes strings of one or more
records that may be on one disk or on several
disks. No formatting is done in this mode.

Data Flow
Bits 5 and 6 of register 6 (the keyboard-control
register) are set to 00 to select registers 0, 1, 2,
and 3. These group-select registers are used to
transfer sense information, control information,
and data back and forth across the interface.
Transfer is serial-by-byte. When transferring files,
13 format buffers of the basic 3741 buffered
storage are used to maintain the full data rates.
Because the format buffers are used for this
operation, they must be reloaded before resuming jobs that require formatting on the basic
3741.

.......--End of Job In
Microprogramming for the I/O adapter directs
the data flow. For output from the 3741, data
moves from the diskette to the storage buffers, to
the bus-out register (2), and on to the I/O cables.
For input to the 3741, data moves from the attachment to the bus-in register (1), to storage
buffers, and then to the diskette.
Sense and control use register 3 and the bus-in
and bus-out registers.
When the I/O adapter is used with model 1 or 2,
the I/O adapter ROS is usually selected as follows:

Decoding ROS addresses does the initial selection. Later instructions in the I/O adapter code
enter an XA into register 3. This sets a latch
that holds the I/O adapter selected. When the
microprogram exits the I/O adapter ROS, an
XO is entered into register 3 to reset the latch.

Input Lines
Attachment Error
This line is used by the attachment to notify the
3741 of a device program that requires a record
to be restarted or re-sent. The line causes the 3741
to display an 86 error in columns 9 and 10 of
the status line and wait.
The operator can either:
1.
Press RESET (to cause the 3741 to
activate 'attachment reset') and (if sending
data to attachment) NUM SHIFT with
RESET, ALPHA SHI FT with RESET, or
RES ET to cause the 3741 to retransmit
the record on which the attachment error
occurred.
If receiving data from the attach ment, the
3741 treats the next record received as a
retransmission and places it in the next
sequential location on the disk.

2, the 3741 returns the read/write head to the
index track, updates the EOD of the data set,
but stays online expecting the operation to continue on another data set or diskette. In filetransfer modes 3 and 5, the 3741 returns the
read/write head to the index track, updates the
EOD of the data set, and positions the read/
write head to the next valid HDR1 label to continue the processing. In file-transfer mode 4, if
'end of data set in' is detected, and 87 error is
displayed in columns 9 and 10. The job must
be cancelled.

Hold ALPHA SHI FT and NUM SHI FT,
and press RES ET to take the 3741 offl ine
and return the read/write head to the index
track.

Attachment Busy
This line from the attachment notifies the 3741
that the attachment is temporarily unable to exchange data. The line is active in response to the
3741 'read from attachment', 'write to attachment',
'EOJ out', 'EOD out', and '3741 attention requi red' lines. The 3741 waits fbr 'attachment
busy' to drop before activating 'read from attachment', 'write to attachment', 'EOJ out', 'EOD
out', or '3741 attention required' lines again.
End of Data Set In
This line is a response to 'read from attachment'.
In file-transfer mode 1, the 3741 returns the read/
write head to the index track, updates the EOD of
the data set, and goes offline. In file-transfer mode

Attachment Reset
This line is activated when a new operation is
initiated but the attachment is offline. The
3741 does not check for either 'response' or
'sense response' if this line is active. After the
line is deactivated, the 3741 waits until the attachment comes online before 'read from attachment' or 'write to attachment' is activated. 'Attachment reset' is not activated if the attachment
is online when a new data transfer is to start.

End of Job In
This line is a response to a 3741 'read from attachment'. The 3741 updates the EOD of the data set
and goes offline. If 'end of job in' is detected
when in file-transfer mode 4, an 88 error is displayed in columns 9 and 10. The job must be
cancelled.
Bus Out Parity Error

2.

Output Lines

This line is a response to 'service request' or 'end
of record'. The 3741 responds with 'write to
attachment' and retransmits the record. If the
parity error occurs on the third try, the 3741
displays an 81 error. The job must be cancelled.
Response
During a read operation, 'response' notifies the
3741 that there is data on bus in, ready for
sampling. During a write operation, 'response'
notifies the 3741 that the data on bus out has
been sampled and can be replaced.

Note: 'Response' is the expected answer to all

'Attachment reset' is activated if the 'attachment
error' line is active during data processing. (See
Attachment Error for details.)
Read from Attachment
The 'read from attachment' line is activated at
the start of each record to be received by the
3741. The line is active until'response' or 'sense
response' is received from the attachment. If
'response' is received, the 3741 activates 'service
request'. If 'sense response' is received, the 3741
checks the status lines from the attachment.
Valid status lines in addition to 'attachment online'
are:
'attachment error'
'attachment busy'
'end of data set in'
'end of job in'
If none of these lines are active after 'sense
response' comes up following 'read from attachment', the 3741 displays the contents of registers
1, 2, and 3 in hex. The register contents show
what occurred. The job must be cancelled.

I/O adapter commands. ' Response' always takes
precedence over 'sense response'.
Sense Response
'Sense response' indicates to the 3741 that,
because of conditions within the attachment:'
operator and/or automatic recovery procedures
are needed at the 3741.
Bus-in Bits
Bus in bits 0 through 7 and parity carry data if
'read from attachment' is active.

Write to Attachment

End of Record

End of Data Set Out

Write to attachment' is activated at the start of
each record to be sent to the attachment. The
line is active until 'response' or 'sense response' is
received from the attachment. If 'response' is
received, the 3741 activates 'service request'. If
'sense response' is received, the 3741 checks the
status lines from the attachment. Valid status
lines, in addition to 'attachment online', are:
'attachment error'
'attachment busy'

'End of record' is activated after all characters of
a record have been received or transmitted. The
line is active until 'response' or 'sense response' is
activated by the attachment. When 'response' is
received, the 3741 activates 'read from attachment'
or 'write to attachment' if more records are to be
received or transmitted. If all records have been
sent, the 3741 activ~tes 'end of data set out', 'end
of job out', or'3741 attention required' as the next
command. If 'sense response' is received, the
3741 checks the status lines from the attachment.

This line can be activated after either 'end of
record' or '3741 attention required'. It is used
in file-transfer modes 3 and 5 only during a write
operation. The line stays active until 'response' or
'sense response' is received from the attachment.
If 'response' is received, the 3741 u,;tivates any of
the following lines:

While 'end of record' is active, valid status lines
from the attachment are:
'attachment online' only (indicates recordlength error), or

If 'sense response' is received, the 3741 checks the
status lines from the attachment. The only valid
status line, in addition to 'attachment online', is
'attachment busy'.

If none of these lines are active after 'sense
response' is activated, the 3741 displays the
contents of registers 1, 2, and 3 in hex. The
job must be cancelled.

'write to attachment'
'end of job out'
'3741 attention required'

Service Request
'attachment online' plus any of the following:
This line is activated when the 3741 is ready to
receive or transmit a character. The line is active
until 'response' or 'sense response' is received
from the attachment. If 'response' is received,
the 3741 activates 'service request' or, if the
last character of a record has been received or
sent, EOR (end of record). If 'sense response'
is received, the 3741 checks the status lines
from the attachment.

'attachment error'
'bus out parity check' (occurs only if
'write to attachment' is active).

End of Job Out
If any other status lines are act~ve, the 3741 displays the contents of registers 1, 2, and 3 in hex.
The job must be cancelled.
Bus In Parity Error

When 'service request' is active, valid status lines
are:
'attachment online' only (indicates recordlength error), or
'attachment online' plus any of the following:
'attachment error'
'bus in parity error' (forces 'sense response')
'bus out parity check' (occurs only if
'write to attachment' is active).
If any other status lines are active, the 3741 displays the contents of registers 1, 2, and 3 in hex.
The job must be cancelled.

If any other status lines are active after 'sense
response' is received, the 3741 displays the contents of registers 1,2, and 3 in hex. The job must
be cancelled.

This line is activated after 'service request' if a
data byte with bad parity is received during a
read operation. The line stays active until
'response' or 'sense response' is received from
the attachment. If 'response' is received, the
3741 tries to receive the record two more times.
If the error occurs after the third try, an 82 error
is displayed, and the job must be cancelled. If
'sense response' is received, the 3741 checks the
status lines from the attachment.
'Attachment online' only status means a recordlength error. If any other status lines are active,
the 3741 displays the contents of registers 1,2,
and 3 in hex. The job must be cancelled.

This line can be activated after 'end of record',
'end of data set out', or '3741.attention required'
during a write operation. The line is active until
'response' or 'sense response' is received from the
attachment. If 'response' is received, the 3741
goes offline and returns the read/write head to the
index track. If 'sense response' is received, the
3741 checks the status lines from the attachment.
The only valid status from the attachment, in addition to 'attachment online', is 'attachment busy'.
When other lines are active after 'sense response',
the 3741 displays the contents of registers 1, 2,
and 3 in hex. The job must be cancelled.

3741 Attention Required
The '3741 attention required' line can be
activated after 'end of record' or 'end of data set
out'. The line is active until 'response' or 'sense
response' is received from the attachment. If
<----:response' is received, the 3741 can activate:
'read from attachment'
'write to attachment'
'end of data set out'
'end of job out' or
'3741 attention required'
If 'sense response' is received, the 3741 checks
the status lines from the attachment. The only
valid status line, in addition to 'attachment online', is 'attachment busy'.
If other lines are active, the 3741 displays the
contents of registers 1, 2, and 3 in hex. The job
must be cancelled.
Interrupt
This line, never active by itself, becomes active
with any of the following:
'bus in parity error'
'end of data set out'
'3741 attention required'
'end of job out'
'end of record'
'write to attachment'
'read from attachment'

Bus-out Bits
Bus-out bits 0 through 7 and parity carry data on
'bus out' when 'write to attachment' is active.
Address
Address bits 4, 5, 6, and 7 identify the device
(card reader, paper tape reader, System/3, etc.)
that is to receive or transmit data.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Data exchange between the attachment and 3741
is possible in three modes: character transfer,
record transfer, and file transfer. As the names
imply, the transfers occur character-by-character,
record-by-record, or file-by-file, respectively.

Record Transfer Read/Write Theory
The details of operations for character transfer
and file transfer, while exchanging data, are
shown in the following flowcharts. Record

transfer internal operations are the same as
those for file transfer. However, the setup
procedures are different. The setup is included
in the record transfer flowcharts (see I/O
Adapter Operating Procedures, page 9-91).
The internal operations are described between
pointsgandlof the file transfer flowcharts.

3741 Online
This line is the output of a latch that, is set by
XA in register 3, and reset by XB in register 3.
3741 Ready/Busy
The '3741 ready/busy' line is a condition derived
from the presence of a valid address; when an attachment address goes active, the 3741 is assumed ready.
The transition to not ready constitutes the busy
signal.

Points

The -5 Vdc supply is the source for the -4 Vdc
supply. The -5 Vdc drops 1 Vdc across a silicone
diode which provides the -4 Vdc.

The 6.3 Vdc provides CRT heater voltage. 8.5
Vdc is dropped through resistors to provide the
6.3 Vdc . The 6.3Vdc is a cQnstant current after
a power on surge. Power is on about 23 seconds
before the CRT heater warms up.

The -12 Vdc supply is the input for the -5 Vdc
closed loop series supply. A -5 Vdc overvoltage
blows the F2 fuse. A -5 Vdc undervoltage blows
the 8.5 Vdc fuse. A differential amplifier detects
an overvoltage between -5.6 Vdc to 6.0 Vdc, or
an undervoltage of -3 Vdc.

Ripple Measurement

Ripple voltage can be measured most accurately
with an oscilloscope.

An alternate way to get an indication of ripple
voltage is with a CE meter.
1.

2.

Connect a capacitor (.22 mF or larger,
50 Vdc or higher) in series with one of the
meter leads. (Capacitor not furnished.)
Set the meter range to 15V ac.

3.

Connect one meter lead to the dc voltage in
question, the other lead to frame ground.
(Remember, a capacitor is in series with one
of the leads.)

4.

The meter needle should not leave zero
on the meter scale if ripple voltage.is
within limits.

Key items for correct jumpering:
o All pin rows might not be present. Missing rows
are labeled none in the chart.
o Machines with BSCA or EBSCA (Models 2 and
4) are the only ones having pins 2 through 8.
o Because row numbering does not always start
at row 1, it is best to start counting from row
7, which always has 2 pins (BSCA and EBSCA
machines).
o Record the jumpering for the machine on the
chart for future reference.

-_ _CI

The chart shows the jumpering for each 3741
model and printer combination. To use the chart,
select the printer number (or no printer) in the
first column. Then follow the row across the
chart to the 3741 model number of this machine.
For Models 2 and 4, select BSCA or EBSCA.

ready' and communication proceeds (3872
switched, WE202C9, WE201 A3).

• Controller will send DISC (OLE EaT)
sequence before disconnecting.

BSCA line control determines in what order
the data terminal ready interface line and
the data set ready interface line are monitored
at the EIA interface.

Do not confuse the 'data terminal ready'
position (down position) of the jumper with
the 'data terminal ready' interface line. They
are not physically connected. The jumper
position merely determines in what sequence
the interface lines are manipulated by the
BSCA controller.

• Controller can be called to restart
communications on a recoverable
error that has caused communications
to terminate.

If jumper 4 is in position C (COSTL), it will
hold the 'data terminal ready' interface line
in the off condition until it detects that
either 'data set ready' or 'ring indicator' is
on. The BSCA controller will then turn on
the 'data terminal ready' interface line.

Send answertone
Yes = Data terminal must send answertone
(WT only: where data terminal is required
to send answertone).
No = Data terminal does not send answertone (modem generates answertone).

Connect data set to line philosophy is used
on some WTC switched line modems. Turning
on the 'data terminal ready' interface line
after seeing 'ring indicator' come on causes
the phone to be answered (autoanswer).
If manual call or manual answer is used,
pushing the data button causes 'data set
ready' to come on. The BSCA controller
then must turn on the 'data terminal ready'
interface line to hold the connection. Turning on the 'data terminal ready' interface
line before the call is made or answered
causes the modem to seize the line connection thereby disabling the hand set~

BSCA line facility
E (up position) = Switched
F (down position) = Non-switched

• Controller does not send 0 ISC.

The BSCA controller makes the following
changes based on this jumper:

• Operator 'intervention is required on error
condition that has terminated communications.

BSCA Iine control
C (up position) = Connect data set to line
(COSTL). Normal for non-switched lines.
o (down position) = Data terminal ready
(OTR). Normal for switched lines.

The 3741 also uses this position for nonswitched Iine modems where 'data set
ready' is ON all the time. This will bypass
the check for 'data set ready' being OFF
before proceeding in communications
(3872 non-switched, WE 20203, WE 201 B3).

Non-switched (down position)

• Controller sends line bids (ENO) if in T, P,
B or 0 mode. Waits for line bids if R mode.
• Controller will retry infinitely to send line
bids.
• Controller will wait forever to receive line
bids.

Switched (up position)

ID reader test pins
No jumper required.

• Controller sends line bids (ENO) if
the M key was used in the setup. Waits
for line bid if M key was not used.,

Multipoint installed
No = Multipoint feature not installed.
Yes = Multipoint feature is installed.

• Controller will retry 15 times when
sending line bids.

Note: All jumper positions might not be

present.
• Controller will wait only 20 seconds
to receive line bids.
IBM Modem Cross-Reference

If jumper 4 is in position 0 (OTR), the
BSCA controller uses a different sequence.
It first checks 'data set ready' to see if it
is OFF before it will turn the "data terminal
ready' line on. If data set ready is on when
data terminal ready is OFF, an error condition is assumed and the operation ceases.
(This is why position C must be used if
data set ready is always ON.) If data set
ready is OFF, the BSCA controller will
turn the 'data terminal ready' line ON. In
this case, the 'data terminal ready' interface
line conditions the modem for autoanswer
or data mode. After the modem does
autoanswer or the operator pushes the data
button on, the modem turns on 'data set
