1.1

TOPS-lO

REMOTE

STATIONS

AND

CONCENTRATORS

Two

types

of

remote

stations/terminal

concentrators

based

on

PDP-II

hardware

can

be

connected

over

a

synchronous

line

to

a

host

system

running

TOPS-10.

When

these

remote

stations

contain

terminals,

they

are

also

called

remote

concentrators.

The

DN82

is

a

remote

station

and

concentrator

based

on

a

PDP-11/40;

as

a

remote

station

alone

(containing

only

a

card

reader

and

a

line

printer),

it

is

called

a

DN80i

as

a

concentrator

alone,

it

is

called

a DN81.

The

DN200

is

a

remote

station

and

concentrator

based

on

a

PDP-11/34.

A

systems

programmer

or

installer

at

the

TOPS-10

host

assembles

the

software

for

each

remote

station,

and

stores

the

resulting

binary

file

on

disk

at

the

host.

(Assembly

of

the

software

at

the

TOPS-10

host

site

is

described

in

the

Networks

Software

Installation

Guide.)

An

operator

at

the

remote

station

can

then

initiate

a

request

to

the

TOPS-10

host

to

down-line

load

the

remote

station

software

over

the

synchronous

line.

2.1

STARTUP

The

DN80-series

or

DN200

remote

station

is

a

minicomputer

that

allows

remote

connections

to

a TOPS-I0

hosto

The

station

is

in

operation

when

its

operator

turns

on

and

starts

the

station,

and

after

the

host

loads

the

station

with

the

appropriate

software.

:Q,~";:/~l~i~'~~D'~~~

';

"'&This

boot

network

loading

program,

NETLDR,

to

copy

the

remote

station

software

from

the

disk

at

the

TOPS-I0

host

into

the

remote

station

and

to

start

the

remote

station

running.

This

process

is

called

"bootstrapping"

because

the

station

loads

itself

by

its

own

efforts.

(The

network

and

remote

station

software

have

previously

been

stored

at

the

TOPS-I0

host

site.

)

At a

DN80-series

station,

the

operator

must

turn

on

the

station

and

start

the

station

at

the

starting

address.

Once a

DN80-series

station

is

started

at

its

starting

address,

the

bootstrap

operation

begins.

Once

the

bootstrap

loading

process

is

complete,

CHKll,

a

hardware

checking

program,

runs

to

verify

that

the

hardware

components

are

attached

and

working.

When

CHKll

is

done,

it

passes

control

to

the

remote

station

software.

The

remote

station

continues

to

run

until:

1.

The

operator

turns

off

its

power.

2.

The

operator

halts

its

processor.

3.

A

power

failure

occurs.

4.

A

software-detected

error

causes

a

'crash'

followed

by

a

halt.

5.

A

hardware

error

causes

the

processor

to

halt.

2-1

OPERATOR

PROCEDURES

Normally,

for

all

remote

stations,

a

reboot

occurs

automatically

after

a

crash;

and

a

restart

occurs

automatically

after

a

power

failure.

If

a

DN80-series

remote

station

halts,

you

can

restart

it

at

the

starting

address.

After

failures

of

the

remote

station

hardware

or

software

that

alter

memory

or

change

the

code,

the

software

must

be

reloaded

into

the

remote

station

from

the

TOPS-10

host.

2.1.1

Starting

the

Station

To

start

your

remote

station

for

the

first

time,

begin

by

turning

on

your

operator's

console

(LA36)

and

the

station

power.

The

switch

for

the

operator's

console

is

at

the

left

of

the

console

keyboard.

You

turn

on

the

power

for

the

DN80-series

stations

with

the

cylindrical

key

on

the

control

panel,

while

the

power

switch

for

the

DN200

is

on

its

control

panel

(see

Figures

1-2

and

1-4).

The

operator's

console

must

be

filled

with

paper

and

its

'300'

switch

must

be

down.

(All

other

switches

on

the

left

side

of

the

operator's

console

should

be

up.)

The

modem

through

which

the

remote

station

is

to

communicate

with

the

TOPS-10

host

must

be

properly

connected,

and

its

power

must

be

on.

2.1.4

The

Operator

Interface

In

network,

there

can

be

three

types

of

operators,

each

with

specific

privileges.

The

system

administrator

at

assigns

these

privileges

to

your

operator's

PPN

with

the

system

program

REACT.

As a

remote

station

operator,

you

obtain

these

privileges

when

you

log

in

with

your

operator's

PPN.

The

three

types

of

operators

are:

•

System

operators

•

Host

operators

•

Remote

operators

A

system

operator

has

the

most

global

privileges

and

Relocating

Your

Station

Devices

You

can

use

the

LOCATE

monitor

command

to

specify

another

node

as

your

logical

node,

to

establish

your

job

at

that

node.

Type

the

following:

LOCATE

node

number

~

The

node

number

is

the

number

of

the

node

where

you

want

to

locate

the

input/output

devices

for

your

job.

It

must

be

a

node

number

recognized

by

the

host.

It

acts

as

the

default

node

number

for

all

subsequent

PRINT

and

SUBMIT

commands.

You

can

verify

the

node

number

for

the

other

node

with

the

NETWORK

command,

which

lists

all

nodes

defined

in

the

network.

After

giving

the

LOCATE

command,

you

can

have

devices

at

the

new

logical

node

perform

the

input

and

output

for

your

jobs.

For

If,

during

your

session,

the

node

to

which

you

have

LOCATED

becomes

inaccessible,

you

are

returned

to

your

location.

You

can

use

the

SHOW

to

check

on

other

nodes

in

your

system.

As a

remote

operator,

you

cannot

execute

the

ROUTE

command

to

direct

output

to

~nother

node

in

the

system.

You

must

ask

the

operator

at

the

to

perform

routing.

You

may

wish

to

have

some

all

of

your

output

routed

to

another

CHAPTER

TROUBLE-SHOOTING

4.1

NORMAL

OPERATION

When

you

start

your

remote

station,

CHK11,

the

hardware

verification

program,

runs

to

provide

a

cursory

check

of

the

hardware

components.

If

CHK11

executes

completely

and

issues

no

error

messages,

your

hardware

is

probably

functioning

properly,

and

your

station

should

operate

normally.

If

CHK11

indicates

that

your

station

has

some

hardware

problems,

you

can

try

to

restart

it

once

more.

If

the

problems

persist,

contact

your

Field

Service

representative.

When

the

remote

station

is

loaded

and

started

for

the

first

time,

the

hardware

diagnostic

program

CHK11

runs.

This

program

tries

to

use

each

component

of

the

remote

station

and

issues

a

message

describing

the

results.

The

following

illustrates

typical

CHK11

output

on

a

DN200.

number

of

in

the

remote

station

processor

(160000=28K

words;

100000=16K

words)

.

If

there

is

a

hardware

failure,

CHK11

outputs

a

message:

ERROR

DETECTED

AT

PC

xxx

where

xxx

is

the

program

counter.

4-1

TROUBLE-SHOOTING

A

message

preceding

the

PC

address

message

gives

the

name

of

the

device

that

has

failed.

For

example,

if

your

synchronous

line

interface

(DMCII)

has

failed,

CHKII

provides

a

message

of

the

following

form:

I DMCII

?DMCII

#0

(ADR=160540)

ERROR

DETECTED

AT

PC

54522

When

such

errors

occur,

contact

your

Field

Service

representative

to

isolate

and

correct

your

hardware

problems.

For

more

information

on

CHRII,

see

the

CHKII

Reference

Manual.

4.2

WHEN

PROBLEMS

OCCUR

If

the

remote

station

starts,

but

you

do

not

receive

the

TOPS-IO

system

prompt,

the

TOPS-IO

site

may

not

be

operating

or

an

intermediate

node

may

be

down.

(An

intermediate

node

is

a

node

between

your

remote

station

and

the

TOPS-IO

host.)

If

an

intermediate

node

is

down,

you

must

usually

wait

until

it

returns

to

the

network.

If

there

is

an

alternate

path

by

which

you

can

contact

the

TOPS-IO

host,

the

system

automatically

connects

the

remote

station

by

that

path.

For

information

on

alternate

paths,

see

Appendix

B

of

this

manual,

"NETLDR Command

Str

ings."

At

a

remote

station,

your

operator's

console

can

receive

a

variety

of

error

messages.

These

messages

can

be

issued

by

the

TOPS-IO

monitor,

by

the

programs

running

at

the

host

site

under

control

of

the

monitor,

by

GALAXY

programs

such

as

LPTSPL,

and

by

the

programs

run

at

the

remote

station

(the

remote

station

code

and

CHKII).

If

you

are

running

OPR,

messages

from

TOPS-IO

and

from

GALAXY

are

trapped

by

OPR.

If

a

program

running

at

the

host

gets

into

a

nonfunctioning

condition

and

issues

a

stopcode,

it

presents

error

messages

that

contain

information

on

the

crash

block

and

the

module

that

has

had

a

problem.

The

message

always

starts

with

a

message

of

the

following

form:

REQUESTS

If

the

load

request

that

is

sent

over

the

synchronous

line

is

for

a

with

serial

number

0,

on

line

Loading

occurs

from

but

the

network

sees

the

loading

operation

from

the

line

on

the

adjacent

node

that

performs

the

loading.

The

load

request

looks

for

a

match

with

a

specification

at

any

TOPS-IO

host

in

SYS:NETLDR.INI

that

contains

these

values.

If

a

match

is

found,

the

ROM

switches

give

you

flexibility

in

establishing

alternate

load

paths.

For

example,

if

your

remote

station

can

communicate

over

more

than

one

synchronous

line,

you

can

send

your

load

request

over

a

specific

line

by

using

the

/L

ROM

switch.

Given

a

configuration

of

two

hosts

as

and

a

you

can

Node

DELTA

creates

a

station

control

message

for

rerouting

to

the

host

node

OMEGA,

adding

its

own

nodename

and

the

number

of

the

synchronous

line

leading

back

to

the

requesting

DN200.

It

then

forwards

the

message

to

the

host

at

node

OMEGA.

If

the

network

contains

more

than

one

host,

you

can

use

the

IN

switch

to

specify

which

host

is

to

run

NETLDR.

To

specify

a

particular

file

to

be

loaded

from

the

host,

use

a

filespec

and

any

necessary

NETLDR

switches.

For

example,

issuing

the

following

ROM

switches

and

NETLDR

command

string

from

node

GAMMA

(Figure

B-1)

loads

node

GAMMA

with

the

program

SYS:COMM.BIN.

This

program

is

stored

at

node

ALPHA

and

is

down-line-loaded

by

NETLDR.

The

switches

and

command

string

are:

/NI0

(NETLDR

ignores

blanks

To

and

12

rows

(rows

are

numbered,

All

the

ASCII

characters,

including

printing

characters

and

nonprinting

be

represented

by

the

appropriate

punches

on

a

card.

In

some

cases

where

the

punching

device

does

not

have

specific

keys

for

punching

the

code

for

a

particular

character,

overpunching

or

multipunching

is

used

to

create

the

desired

punches.

All

possible

combinations

of

punches

can

be

achieved

by

using

the

numerics

(which

punch

rows

0

to

9),

the

minus

(which

punches

row

11),

and

the

ampersand

(&)

(which

punches

row

12).

(Some

keypunch

machines

use

other

symbols

to

punch

in

the

upper

card

rows.)

Each

character

occupies

a

single

column

on

the

OPR

COMMANDS

This

appendix

contains

all

OPR

commands

that

you

can

use

as

the

remote

operator

at

a

remote

station

if

your

PPN

has

the

appropriate

privileges.

The

system

administrator

at

the

host

must

use

REACT

to

give

the

PPN

where

you

log

in

remote

operator

privileges.

aPR

provides

a

help

facility

with

command

recognition

(use

of

the

~

key)

and

command

help

(use

of

the

question

mark

(?)).

You

use

aPR

commands

to

control

the

printer

and

card

reader

at

your

remote

station,

to

direct

OPR

output,

to

obtain

information,

to

communicate

in

the

network,

and

to

control

jobs.

You

should

cooperate

with

the

system

operator

at

the

host

where

you

log

in

as

remote

station

operator

to

set

up

the

system

files

(such

as

SYS:SYSTEM.CMD

and

SYS:LPFORM.INI)

for

optimum

use

of

your

remote

station.

The

system

operator

can

also

place

commands

you

can

issue

from

your

remote

station

in

SYSTEM.CMD

for

execution

when

the

host

system

is

brought

up.

As

the
