3174 Models 81 R through 92R Maintenance Information

Preface

Preface
This manual identifies the tasks involved in maintaining the IBM 3174 Establishment Controller Models 81R,
82R, 91 R, and 92R and provides the information needed to keep these controllers in, or to restore them to,
good working order.

Who This Book Is For
This book is for the product-trained and support-trained IBM service representatives who maintain the 3174
Establishment Controller Models 81 R, 82R, 91 R, and 92R.
The maintenance procedures described in this manual represent a part of the overall support structure for
the 3174 Establishment Controller. This support structure, which begins at the 3174 operator level, is
described briefly below.

3174 Operator
The 3174 operator performs initial problem isolation and recording of the 3174 failure indications by
following the procedures in the 3174 Models 81R, 82R, 91R, and 92R User's Guide or the 3174 Customer
Extended Problem Determination manual. If the problem is other than a customer operating procedure or
customer-supplied power, the operator requests IBM service.

Product-Trained Service Representative
The product-trained service representative performs the maintenance procedures contained in this manual
to isolate a problem to a specific cause, such as a defective logic card, a communication failure, a data
stream problem, or an attached-device failure. If the maintenance package cannot isolate or correct the
fault, the product-trained service representative requests assistance from the next level of the support
structure.

Support-Trained Service Representative and Area-Designated Specialist
The support-trained service representative and the area-designated specialist use their in-depth knowledge
of telecommunication and of the product to continue problem determination beyond the scope of the
maintenance manual.

General Description

3174 Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) Descriptions and Functions
The following paragraphs describe the functions of the planar board, the diskette drive, and the operator
panel.

Planar Board
The planar board contains the processor logic, storage logic, and the following adapter logic:
•
•
•
•

File adapter
Terminal adapter
Communications adapter (EIA/V.35 or X.21)
Operator panel adapter.

Diskette Drive HG 01
The diskette drive uses a high-capacity, double-sided, soft-sectored, 5.25-inch removable diskette. The
diskette drive motor is +12 Vdc, direct drive (nonbelt). The motor is hardware-controlled and is turned on
only when drive access is required. The diskette drive is packaged in a manner that allows it to be easily
removed from the controller. The drive interfaces with the file adapter through a common bus. The drive
also interfaces with the FRU 10 bus. Models 81 Rand 82R have a 1.2MB diskette drive; Models 91 Rand 92R
have a 2.4MB diskette drive.

File Adapter HG 01
The file adapter provides read/write control for the diskette drive. The file adapter interfaces with the PIO
bus and the diskette drive.

Operator Panel HG 09
The operator panel contains the push buttons and indicators shown in Figure 1-7 on page 1-20. The control
logic for reading the keypad switches and writing data to the status indicators is contained on the planar
board. The processor logic reads and writes to the operator panel via the PIO bus. The processor logic
also interfaces with the operator panel adapter logic via the FRU 10 bus.

Type 1 Communication Adapter (Models 81 Rand 91 R) HG 11
The Type 1 communication adapter provides CCITT V.24/V.28 (EIA 2320) and CCITT V.35 electrical
interfaces to connect the controller to a modem or other signal converter. A 25-pin O-shell connector is
provided on the planar board for connecting the communication interface cable. The adapter interfaces
with the PIO bus and the FRU 10 bus. The adapter logic works in PIO mode when BSC protocol is used and
in CHIO mode for other protocols. The desired interface, V.24/V.28 or V.35 and the operational speed are
selected under microcode control. External clocking is required. The adapter logic has a FRU 10 capability
to sense that the correct interface cable is attached.

Type 2 Communication Adapter (Models 82R and 92R) HG 11
The Type 2 communication adapter provides a CCITT V.11 (X.21) electrical interface to connect the
controller to an X.21 network or other signal converter that provides a compatible interface. A 25-pin
O-shell connector is provided on the planar board to connect the communication interface cable. The
adapter interfaces with the PIO bus and the FRU 10 bus. The adapter logic works in CHIO mode supporting
SNA/SOLC protocols. The operational speed is selected under microcode control. External clocking is
required. The adapter logic has a FRU 10 capability to sense that the correct interface cable is attached.

Chapter 1. General Information

1-7

General Description

Terminal Adapter HG 26
The terminal adapter provides buffering and control for attachment of a maximum of eight display stations,
printers, or workstations. The terminal adapter interfaces with the PIO bus. Each of the four Dual-Purpose
Connectors (DPCs) provides a path to a single terminal. Port 0 also provides a path to eight terminals via a
3299 Terminal Multiplexer. Signals from port 0 contain addressing for as many as eight terminals. Signals
from ports 1 through 3 contain an address for one terminal. If a 3299 is connected to port 0 on the terminal
adapter, ports 1 through 3 are disabled. The distance that terminals or 3299s are located from the
controller depends on the cable media being used and whether the particular terminal or 3299 requires a
balun. See Table A-1 on page A-3.
Note: Terminals with the Dual-Purpose Connector (DPC) have the driver/receiver circuitry that does not
require the use of baluns. A balun is an impedance-matching device that is required when cabling
media other than coaxial cable is used to attach terminals such as 3278s to the controller. The
balun matches the impedance of the cable being used to the impedance of the 3278 driver/receiver
circuitry. The DPC connector on these terminals accepts coaxial cable and IBM Cabling System
Type 1 and Type 2 cables; with the DPC-T3 Adapter, these terminals accept direct telephone wiring.
A diagnostic wrap capability, under microcode control, is provided at the driver/receiver output of the
terminal adapter. Logic for driver/receiver wrapping, timeout delay selection, and addressed cable
protocol are also included on the terminal adapter.

Processor HG 87
The processor logic contains the controller microprocessor, a timer, a read-only storage (ROS) module,
and other timing and control logic. It also contains logic for single-bit per halfword storage error correction
and double-bit storage error detection. The processor logic interfaces with the PIO, storage, and FRU 10
buses. A red Light-Emitting Diode (LED) on the planar blinks during processor testing. During the ROS
portion of the processor tests, the conditions of this LED are used to help isolate PIO bus and ROS
problems.

Storage HG 87
The storage logic consists of storage and switching logic that provide 1MB (Models 81 Rand 82R) or 2MB
(Models 91 Rand 92R) of usable storage, 6-bit error correction code, single-bit error correction, and
double-bit error detection. The storage logic interfaces with the storage bus. On the Models 91 Rand 92R
the storage card is a FRU.

Hardware Group Numbers
Hardware group (HG) numbers are used during offline tests as part of a test invocation entry and are
included with alerts when errors are reported to the host. Hardware group numbers are also included in
the controller event logs. Hardware group numbers (see Table 1-3 on page 1-9) are assigned as follows:
Hardware group numbers 01 through 50 are assigned to individual FRUs in the 3174 Establishment
Controller, such as logic and diskette drives.
• Hardware group number 80 is assigned to the test monitor program.
• Hardware group number 87 is assigned to the processor and storage logic on the planar board.
• Hardware group numbers 81 and 82 are assigned to Test All modes: 81 is GSU tests, which are run
after the controller is set up by the customer; 82 is Installed tests, which can be run by the customer as
part of problem determination.

Field Replaceable Unit Identification (FRU 10)
A diskette drive identifier is contained in the diskette drive signal cable. Two FRU 10 modules are on the
planar board to identify individual adapter logic and the planar board logic. During an IML, these modules
send their FRU 10 numbers to the processor logic. The FRU 10 numbers are used to build the hardware
configuration table, which is written on the Control diskette. This occurs every time an IML is performed.
The hardware configuration table, shown in Figure 1-4 on page 1-10, can be displayed by using Online
Test 2. See "Test 2: Configuration Menu" on page 2-92 or the offline test monitor, see "How to Display the
Test Monitor Functions (HG 80)" on page 2-56.

three digits long with additional data, such as 391 01HG B1B2 B3B4
four digits long with additional data, such as 3221 TYPE LOCA.

Where a particular status code appears depends on the state of the controller and on the kind of condition
that causes a status code to be generated.

Operational Status Code Presentation
When the controller is operational, most status codes are displayed in the operator information area of the
attached terminals. Some status codes are also displayed on tneJ controller operator panel. In addition,
some status codes that occur when the controller is operational are temporary failures that are recoverable
by the controller. Temporary failures are not displayed anywhere, but they are written in the controller
event log. If enough temporary failures occur to degrade the performance of the controller, the event log
can be examined to determine what the failures are.
Operational status codes that are displayed on the operator panel are either a single status code or a
maximum of ten.
Single Operational Status Code: A single operational status code is displayed on the 3174 operator panel
constantly for one hour. After an hour, the panel goes blank. This status code is displayed again by
pressing the Enter key on the operator panel. The extended data for single status codes is displayed in the
same manner as multiple status codes by pressing the Adv pushbutton.
Multiple Operational Status Codes: Multiple operational status codes that are displayed on the 3174
operator panel are presented in the following manner.

If multiple status codes occur, they are displayed one at a time and automatically scroll. For example,
status code 381 is displayed, then 3020, then 331. At the panel, 381 is displayed, followed by 3020, then 331,
and then the panel goes blank. 381 is displayed again, followed by 3020, and so on. After one hour, the
panel goes blank. The codes are redisplayed by pressing the Enter key on the operator panel. To examine
anyone of these codes to see whether the code has extended data, perform the following at the operator
panel.
The following codes are examples for this procedure:

381 0101 (QAHG) 9113 (81B2) 0100 (83B4)
3020 0101 (QAHG) 9113 (8182) 0100 (B384)

General Description

Offline Test Status-Code Presentation
Offline test status codes are displayed at the operator panel if the tests are being controlled at the operator
panel. If the offline tests are being controlled from the terminal connected to port 0, the status codes are
displayed at the terminal.
Offline Test Status-Code Presentation (Terminal): On the terminal, any status code that occurs is displayed
with all the additional fields, such as 3001 0XHG TYPE LOCA TYPE LOCA. If multiple status codes occur, they
are displayed on the terminal in the format shown in the test log. (See Figure 2-9 on page 2-56 for an
example of the test log.)
Offline Test Single-Status-Code Presentation (Operator Panel): On the operator panel, when a status code
occurs, the base status code is displayed~ Theadditional fields are displayed by pressing the Adv
pushbutton on the operator panel. For example, to display the additional fields for status code 3001,
perform the following at the operator panel.

The following status code is used as an example for this procedure:

This status code is displayed when the lamp test is being performed. If this code is displayed and a lamp
test is not being performed, a hardware failure has occurred that the microcode cannot isolate to a
particular FRU.

3174 Event Log
A nonvolatile event log is provided by the 3174. The event log is recorded on the Control diskette that
resides in the diskette drive used to IML the controller. All error or status conditions are logged while the
3174 is operational (online). Logging does not occur during offline procedures or tests. The log has a 15
OOO-byte capacity, which accommodates 300 to 1400 events. The log wraps when it is full. The oldest
errors are overlaid. This log is reset only by using online test 4, option 2. Writing of log records occurs
either when a diskette buffer sector of 512 bytes is full or immediately for critical faults. Figure 1-5 shows
an example of a typical event log. Review this example and read the paragraphs following the example to
see how the event log can be used to troubleshoot problems on the controller.

1-5. Sample Event Log

In the example above, the Day/Time since the last Power On Reset (PaR) field indicates 08 hours and 11
minutes have elapsed since the last paR IML. In many cases it is useful to determine when the IML
occurred with respect to the errors that have occurred. Status code 3174 is written to the log at the
completion of every normal IML. In the example, a 3174 status code occurred at Day/Time 0000/00:02. This
particular IML was a power-on IML because the Day/Time has been reset to zeros (an IML takes about 2
minutes to complete). At Day/Time 0015/21:07, another IML occurred. Note that the timer was not reset.
This was not a power-on IML.
At time 00:02, a 532 10 (SC QA) occurred immediately after IML completion, indicating the communication
adapter (HG11) recognized that the communication link was idle. At time 00:03, the problem was cleared
by host operator intervention and status code 500 01 was logged, indicating that status code 532 10 was
deleted from the operator panel. Status code 500 is used to indicate that a condition for a particular
hardware group has been cleared.

Chapter 1. General Information

General Description

At time 00:05, status code 390 04 was logged, indicating a problem with the diskette media.
At time 08:11, status code 331 51 occurred on the communication adapter (HG= 11). This indicates that a
controller-recoverable communication adapter PIa parity error occurred.
Note: Status code qualifiers (QA) above 50 indicate temporary conditions. The planar board type number
is indicated by the 9160 in the extended data field, and 0300 indicates the planar board is in machine
location 03. The 01 indicates the communication adapter on the planar is running on interrupt level
01.

In many cases it is necessary to determine the cause of a re-IML. This is usually the log record just before
the 3174 IML status code. For example, if the 3174 at time 21 :07 is an unplanned IML, the log record at time
20:01 may be the source of the problem. In the example, at time 20:01, status code 311 01 was logged for
HG 87 (processor/storage). This indicates that an unrecoverable storage failure occurred. In the extended
data, 9160 is the FRU type number and 03 indicates the location of the planar board.
The event log is also useful to identify terminal failures. In the example, at time 21 :19, status code 201 51
was logged. This code indicates that the coax threshold of 16 errors in a 30-minute period was exceeded
for port 07. One minute later, at time 21 :20, status code 209 51 was logged for the same port, indicating that
a recoverable terminal adapter command queue failure occurred. Both failures point toward possible coax
noise problems.
The 3174 also attempts to pinpoint data stream errors by logging the condition and the details of the
condition for use by the system programmer. In the example, at time 21 :48, status code 402 02 occurred,
indicating that a data stream protocol problem was detected on the terminal connected to port 02. The
status code and the qualifier indicate that the data stream contained an invalid (out-of-range) buffer
address. The extended data gives further details about the error. The first 2 extended data bytes are 0000
and indicate that the command received by the 3174 for the data stream in error was not a Write Structured
Field (WSF). The second set of 2 bytes in the extended data indicates that the invalid address was found 3
bytes after the command in the data stream. The third set of 2 bytes shows the data found to be in error.
F350 addresses buffer position 3280 for the attached terminal. The terminal should have Model 4 or Model
5 characteristics to support this address. A host SYSGEN or application program problem or a terminal
setup problem should be suspected. A trace of the data stream is not necessary with the above
information; but, if one were taken, it would look similar to the following example.

The invalid address

At time 21 :22, another data stream problem occurred. Status code 401 03 indicates that the terminal
connected to port 06 received a data stream from the host that contained an invalid command. The
extended data gives further details about the error. Since the first 2 bytes of the extended data are not
zero, the data stream was started with a Write Structured Field (WSF) command. The value 0001 indicates
that the error occurred in the first structured field in the data stream. The data in error was found to be at a
displacement of 4 bytes (0 origin) into the structured field containing the error, and the data was 3C40. The
structured field type was 40, indicating an outbound 3270 data stream structured field. Byte 4 of the
outbound 3270 data stream structured field must contain a valid 3270 Write or Copy command code. 3C is
not a valid command code. An application program problem should be suspected. Given this information,
a trace of the failing data stream should not be necessary; but, if one were taken, it would look similar to
the following example.

Indicators
The 3174 has four Status indicators, a Data Transfer indicator, and a Check Cond indicator. These
indicators are described in the following paragraphs.
Status Indicators: The four Status indicators display 1 - 9, 0, e, h, I, p, dashes, and blanks. The displayed
output can be 3174 status codes, prompts, or input selections.
Data Transfer Indicator: When on, this LED indicates the 3174 is sending or receiving host data.
Check Cond Indicator: This LED is lit when the controller.has an unrecoverable hardware or microcode
failure.

Function Pushbuttons
The operator panel contains the following function pushbuttons:
•
•

Alt 1 Adv
Alt 2 Enter

•

IML.

These pushbuttons are described in the following paragraphs.
Alt 1 Adv Pushbutton: The Alt 1 Adv pushbutton is a dual-purpose pushbutton. Used alone, the function of
this pushbutton is to advance (step) the status indicators. Used in conjunction with the IML pushbutton, an
Alt 1 IML is executed. Alt 1 Adv used alone (without the IML pushbutton) has two functions:

1. To display the extended fields of status codes or to display multiple status codes
2. To display numerical menu lists during offline test selection at the operator panel.
Displaying Status Codes: If a status code is displayed, pressing the Adv pushbutton causes the extended
fields of the status code to be displayed (if any). Press Adv as many times as necessary to display the
enti re status code.
Displaying Numerical Menu Lists: During offline operations, such as running tests, the Adv pushbutton is
used to step through the sequential lists of test numbers, test parameters, function numbers, and function
parameters until the desired number is displayed in the status indicators.

1-20

3174 Models 81R through 92R Maintenance Information

IML

When Alt 1 is used in conjunction with the IML pushbutton, an Alt 1 IML is executed and the following
functions can be selected:
• Terminal Mode, Master Menu displayed on the terminal attached to port 0
• Test All Functions (Control or Utility diskette installed)
• Basic Tests (Utility diskette installed).
Alt 2 Enter Pushbutton: The Alt 2 Enter pushbutton is a dual-purpose pushbutton. Used alone, the function
of this pushbutton is to display pending status codes, select tests, and start test or function execution. Used
in conjunction with the IML pushbutton, an Alt 2 IML is executed.
Displaying Pending Status Codes: Once a status code is displayed at the operator panel, the code remains
displayed for one hour unless operator intervention occurs. After one hour passes, the status indicators
are erased. The status code is displayed again by pressing the Enter pushbutton.
Selecting Tests: When tests are being selected, the test number is first displayed in the status indicators
by use of Adv. The test selection is then selected by preSSing the Enter pushbutton. Once the entire test
number is selected, preSSing the Enter pushbutton causes that test request to execute.
When the Alt 2 pushbutton is used in conjunction with IML, diagnostic tests run on the FRUs present in the
controller if the Utility diskette is installed. Successful completion is indicated by status code 2082. If the
Control diskette is installed, diagnostics run on the processor and storage logic. Successful completion is
indicated by status code 2587.
IML Pushbutton: When pressed, this pushbutton performs an indicator test (8888 is displayed in the Status
indicators, Data Transfer and Check Cond indicators light). When it is released, all indicators go off, a
reset occurs, and an IML starts from the diskette drive.

AC Indicator
The AC indicator is located at the rear of the controller. This indicator comes on when the AC power cable
is plugged into a working power outlet. The AC indicator is located on the rear panel next to the AC power

Central Site Change Management
Central Site Change Management (CSCM) is a two-part process provided by microcode release 4.0 and
above.
Part 1 allows the customer to create a central site library of microcode for each 3174 in his network. This is
accomplished by using the Central Site Customizing Utility. Once the library has been created, it is stored
on Li brary diskettes.
Part 2 allows the customer to distribute his microcode from the central site. This is accomplished either by
creating configured diskettes from the central site library or by using NetView Distribution Manager to
electronically distribute microcode to their network controllers.
The following types of microcode can be distributed:
• Configuration data
• Request for Price Quotation (RPQ) Merge
• Down Stream Load (DSL)
• Keyboard Definition Utility (KDU)
• Patch
• Asynchronous Emulation Adapter (AEA) Data
• Printer Authorization Matrix (PAM).

3174 IML Selections for CSCM
CSCM provides the ability to have more than one level of microcode or configuration data installed in a
3174 at the same time. The microcode or configuration data can exist in three states:
• Production-level
• On-Trial-Ievel
• Back-level.
Note: Only two states of microcode or configuration data can exist at the same time. For example, a
production-level and a back-level version of control microcode can exist at the same time. If a

Symptom Explanation
A terminal symptom or status code
has indicated that a terminal is not
READY.
The terminal may be a repair
center product and is not to be
serviced by the on-site CE.
Problem determination (PO) on the
terminal is usually a customer
responsibility. This MAP has been
included to help you do subsystem
PO when a terminal or terminals
are involved.

Conditions That Could Cause This Symptom

Hardware Group Optional Tests (01, 08, 09, 11, 26, 80).

~ar~"'fare

Group Test Ails and Processor/Storage Tests

Hardware Group Test Ails are invoked by selecting hardware group numbers 81, 82, or 87 at the Alt 1 IML

40 prompt or the test monitor 40(H prompt message. An optional test parameter can also be selected with
the hardware group number that will cause the selected test to loop, stop on error, or both. If an error
occurs during these tests, it i~ s~ved in a test error log in machine storage unless it is a critical error such
as a machine check. If a critical error occurs, the test stops and a status code is displayed. If HG 81, 82, or
87 is looped, errors that occur are written to the Utility diskette at the end of each test run. These errors
are displayed by use of the test monitor program (HG 80). If an error QCcurs that stops the test run, the
error can be bypassed by use of the continue function (key in 1 and press Enter). The continue function is
available only when running tests in terminal mode. The test continues with the next hardware group in the
test runlist. The test runlist varies, depending on which Test All HFlrqware Group was selected, and on
which hardware groups are installed in the controller under test. The chart below is an example of the

All terminal cables lTJust be discon'1ected from the terminal adapter ports, except for the cable
connected to 10Qicai port O.
• The communication interface cable must be attached to the communication adapter, and the Test/Oper
switch on the cable must be set to the Test position.

Hardware Group Basic Tests are invoked by selecting a hardware group number 01 - 50 at the test monitor
4001 prompt message. These tests can be looped by use of an optional test parameter. Hardware Group
Basic Tests (01- 50) are run on individual adapters, such as the file adapter or the terminal adapter. These
tests are the same tests that are run when an Alt 2 IML is performed, or when HG 82 is run. The only
difference is that one specific adapter is being tested. If an error occurs during a hardware group basic
test, the test stops and a status code is displayed. Tests can be terminated by use of the free function
(press Enter, 4001 is displayed, and another test request can be entered).

Hardware Group Optional Tests
Hardware Group Optional Tests are invoked by selecting a hardware group number (01, 08, 09, 11, 26, or

Test Request Format
Table 2-1 lists all the test requests that can be selected. The microcode for these tests is on the Utility
diskette. Test requests that start with hardware group numbers 01 - 50 can be selected only at the test
monitor 40(H prompt message. Test requests that start with hardware group numbers 80, 81, 82, and 87 can
be selected at either the Alt 1 IML 40 prompt or the test monitor 4001 prompt. Hardware groups 81, 82, and
87 are normally selected at the 40 prompt, because these hardware groups load the test monitor program
and start a test runlist. The hardware group number is the only required field in a test request entry. The
test parameter, function number, and function parameter numbers are optional parameters.
The test request format is: HG TP FN FP Where:
HG = Hardware group number (see Table 2-1)
TP = Test parameter (optional) (see Table 2-2 on page 2-39)
FN = Function Number (optional) (see Table 2-1)
FP = Function Parameter (optional) (see Table 2-1).

Loop
Loop is used to loop any valid hardware group test request. This parameter is ignored for hardware group
80. This parameter is reset at the end of the test and must be reselected with each test request. To stop a
test that is looping, press Enter.

Terminal Control
This parameter requests the test control program to switch control of the tests from the operator panel to
the terminal connected to port O. The terminal must be a 3278 or equivalent. Once control is at the
terminal, it remains until another IML is performed. It is not necessary to specify terminal control with each
test request.

Stop on Error
Stop on error is applicable when HG 81, 82, or 87 has been selected, or when looping is specified on an
individual hardware group. This parameter is ignored for HG 80. When this parameter is specified, the test
control program will stop and display each error as it occurs. A continue function can be used to allow the
test request to proceed. The continue function can be used only when running the tests from the terminal
connected to port O. When running HG 81,82, or 87 with stop on error off, the test control program will
collect each error in a log without stopping and present all the errors at the end of the test.

Obtaining the Alt 1 IML 40 Prompt Message
1. Insert the Utility diskette.
2. Press and hold Alt 1; press and release IML.
3. Release Alt 1.

Loop
Loop causes any valid hardware group test to repeat until it is terminated by user intervention or by an
error. This parameter is ignored for the 80 test request. This parameter is reset at the end of the test and
must be reentered with each test request. If errors occur while a test is running, they are stored in the test
monitor error log. When the log is full, the test will stop. To stop a test that is looping, press Enter.
Certain tests may require an IML or pressing Enter at the operator panel to stop the test from looping.

Terminal Control
This parameter requests the test monitor to switch control of the tests from the operator panel to the
terminal connected to port O. The terminal must be a 3278 or equivalent. Once control is at the terminal, it
remains until another IML is performed. It is not necessary to specify terminal control with each test
request.

Stop on Error
Stop on error is applicable when HG 81, 82, or 87 has been selected, or when looping is specified on an
individual hardware group. This parameter is ignored for HG 80. When this parameter is specified, the test
control program will stop and display each error as it occurs. When running HG 81, 82, or 87 with stop on
error off, the test control program will collect each error in a log without stopping and present all the errors
at the end of the test.

How to Read and Set the Timer (HG 08)
These tests provide the capability of setting and reading the timer counter and setting the day counter. The
timer runs from .00:00 hours and minutes to 23:59 hours and minutes. The day counter runs from 0000 days
to 0255 days. When the timer counter goes from 23:59 to 00:00, the day counter is increased by 1. When
the day counter reaches 0255, it returns to 0000 when the timer passes 23:59. When setting the timer, valid
values are 0000 to 2359; when setting the day counter, valid values are 0000 to 0255.
Note: The timer and day counters are reset to zeros when the controller is powered off and on. This
procedure has to be performed each time a POR occurs. If it is not performed, the timer defaults to

Communication Adapter Function Number Descriptions
The following paragraphs describe the function numbers for Type 1 (EIA/V35) and Type 2 (X.21)
communication adapters.
Interface Wrap Test (FN 01): This test provides a data wrap of the driver receiver portion of the Type 1 and
Type 2 communication adapter. With the external interface cable connected, the data is wrapped through
the Test/Oper switch(es) on the interface cable. A wrap plug for each adapter is available as a branch
office tool that can be used in place of the interface cable. To ensure a valid wrap test, the following
condition must be met:
For Type 1 Communication Adapter (EIA/V.35): Disconnect the external interface cable from the modem.
Connect the external interface cable to the 3174 and set the TestlOper switch(es) to Test, or install a wrap
plug (PIN 6423419) on the communication adapter port.
For Type 2 Communication Adapter (X.21): Disconnect the external interface cable from the modem.
Connect the external interface cable to the 3174 and set the TestlOper switch to Test, or install a wrap plug
(PIN 6423420) on the communication adapter port.
Notes:
1. Function number 01 runs automatically when customer setup tests (HG 81) are performed.
2. For X.21 the wrap test does not fail if only one of the Signal A or Signal B lines is broken.
Modem Wrap (FN 02): This test provides a data wrap through the external modem. This test is valid for
both Type 1 and Type 2 communication adapters. To ensure a valid wrap test, the following conditions
must be met:
• The modem must be wrappable.
• The external interface cable must be connected to the communication adapter and to the modem.
• The TestlOper switch on the cable must be set to Oper.
Type 1 Interface Status Test (FN 04): This test checks 'data set ready' and 'receive line signal detect' (also
called carrier detect). A status code is written to the Status indicators in 2-second intervals to indicate the
status of these two interface leads. Status code 4513 means both lines are on. Status codes 4510-4512
indicate other conditions for these lines. If other status codes are displayed, see the 3174 Status Codes
manual. This test is only for the Type 1 communication adapter (EIA/V.35). To ensure a valid test, the
external interface cable must be connected to the communication adapter and to the modem. The
Test/Oper switch on the cable is set to Oper. Once this test is running it does not stop until the Enter key is
pressed.
Type 2 Interface Clock Test (FN 05): This test provides a data wrap through the attached modem using the
modem clock. This test is only for the Type 2 communication adapter (X.21). To ensure a valid test, the
external interface cable must be connected to the communication adapter and to the modem. The
TestlOper switch on the cable is set to Oper.
Type 1 Driver Static Test (FN 07) (NTT Japan): This test sets the following interface leads to their logical on
condition for measurement purposes: 'data terminal ready' (DTR), 'request to send' (RTS), 'data set ready'
(DSR), 'test,' and 'select standby' (Sel Stby). This test is valid only for the Type 1 communication adapter.
Status code 4514 indicates the interface leads are at their logical on condition. Once this test is running it
does not stop until the Enter key is pressed.

V.3S Cable Wrap Test (Three Test/Oper Switches)
Thi~

procedure is used with the V.35 interface cable that has three TestlOper switches on the end. This
cable provides better detection of adapter/cable problems when either the A or B signal (receive, transmit,
or clock) is failing. The wrap provided with communication adapter test FN 01 is used in conjunction with
the Test/Oper switch. See Figures 2-6 and 2-4 for the switch settings of the Test/Oper switches before
starting the wrap test. If any other switch setting is used, the wrap test fails.

Loop
Loop causes any valid hardware group test to repeat until it is terminated by user intervention or by an
error. This parameter is ignored for the 80 test request. This parameter is reset at the end of the test and
must be reentered with each test request. If errors occur while a test is running, they are stored in the test
monitor error log. When the log is full, the test will stop. To stop a test that is looping, press Enter.
Certain tests may require an IML or pressing Enter at the operator panel to stop the test from looping.

Terminal Control
This parameter requests the test monitor to switch control of the tests from the operator panel to the
terminal connected to port O. The terminal must be a 3278 or equivalent. Once control is at the terminal, it
remains until another IML is performed. It is not necessary to specify terminal control with each test
request.

Stop on Error
Stop on error is applicable when HG81, 82, or 87 has been selected, or when looping is specified on an
individual hardware group. This parameter is ignored for HG 80. When this parameter is specified, the test
control program will stop and display each error as it occurs. When running HG 81, 82, or 87 with stop on
error off, the test control program will collect each error in a log without stopping, and present all the
errors at the end of the test.

Communication Adapter Function Number Descriptions
The following paragraphs describe the function numbers for Type 1 (EIA/V35) and Type 2 (X.21)
communication adapters.
Interface Wrap Test (FN 01): This test provides a data wrap of the driver receiver portion of the Type 1 and
Type 2 communication adapter. With the external interface cable connected, the data is wrapped through
the TestlOper switch on the interface cable. A wrap plug for each adapter is available as a branch office
tool that can be used in place of the interface cable. To ensure a valid wrap test, the following condition
must be met:
For Type 1 Communication Adapter (EIA/V.35): Connect the external interface cable and set the TestlOper
switch to Test, or install a wrap plug (PIN 6423419) on the communication adapter port.
For Type 2 Communication Adapter (X.21): Connect the external interface cable and set the TestlOper
switch to Test, or install a wrap plug (PIN 6423420) on the communication adapter port.
Notes:
1. Function number 01 runs automatically when customer setup tests (HG 81) are performed.
2. For X.21 this wrap test does not fail if only one of the Signal A or Signal B lines is broken.
Modem Wrap (FN 02): This test provides a data wrap through the external modem. This test is valid for
both Type 1 and Type 2 communication adapters. To ensure a valid wrap test, the following conditions
must,be met:
• The modem must be wrappable.
• The external interface cable must be connected to the communication adapter and to the modem.
• The Test/Oper switch on the cable must be set toOper.
Type 1 Interface Status Test (FN 04): This test checks 'data set ready' and 'receive line signal detect' (also
called carrier detect). A status code is written to the Status indicators in 2-second intervals to indicate the
status of these two interface leads. Status code 4513 means both lines are on. Status codes 4510 - 4513
indicate other conditions for these lines. If other status codes are displayed, see the 3174 Status Codes
manual. This test is only for the Type 1 communication adapter (EIA/V.35). To ensure a valid test, the
external interface cable must be connected to the communication adapter and to the modem. The
Test/Oper switch on the cable is set to Oper. Once this test is running it does not stop until Enter is
pressed.
Type 2 Interface Clock Test (FN 05): This test provides a data wrap through the attached modem using the
modem clock. This test is only for the type 2 communication adapter (X.21). To ensure a valid test, the
external interface cable must be connected to the communication adapter and to the modem. The
TestlOper switch on the cable is set to Oper.
Type 1 Driver Static Test (FN 07) (NTT Japan): This test sets the following interface leads to their logical on
condition for measurement purposes: 'data terminal ready' (DTR), 'request to send' (RTS), 'data set ready'
(DSR), 'test', and 'select standby' (Sel Stby). This test is valid only for the Type 1 communication adapter.
Status Code 4514 indicates the interface leads are at their logical on condition. Once this test is running it
does not stop until Enter is pressed.

V.3S Cable Wrap Test (Three Test/Oper Switches)
This procedure is used with the V.35 interface cable that has three Test/Oper switches on the end. This
cable provides better detection of adapter/cable problems when either the A or B signal (receive, transmit,
or clock) is failing. The wrap provided with communication adapter test FN 01 is used in conjunction with
the TestlOper switch. See Figures 2-13 and 2-21 for the switch settings of the TestlOper switches before
starting the wrap test. If any other switch setting is used, the wrap test fails.

Day/Time

The Day/Time value indicates the setting of the 3174 interval timer when the request to display the log is
entered. Since the interval timer is reset to zeros when the controller is powered off and on, it also
indicates the elapsed time since the power-on occurred. This timer can be set to the actual time of day
using an offline test. The day value range is 000 to 255 and is increased by 1 every 24 hours. The time field
is specified as 00 hours through 23 and 00 minutes through 59.
The Day/Time represents the day and time with respect to power-on when the log event occurred.

QA Field

QA

= The qualifier associated with the base status code.

PHG and CHG Fields

PHG (Primary Hardware Group) and CHG (Connection Hardware Group) = The hardware group associated
with the error that occurred. The PHG field contains 00 or 99 if the error is not associated with a particular
hardware group, or if the hardware group cannot be identified. The values 00 and 99 are not displayed in
the CHG field. An example of this would be a 3278 terminal attached to a TMA in a 3174 Model 1Lor 11 L.

LT Field

LT = The logical terminal number, if the error is related to attached terminals. The LT field is not displayed
at the operator panel. Certain terminals may use multiple logical terminals, such as a 3290.
Extended Data Fields (81-816)

The extended data fields contain supplementary information that may be useful to resolve a problem, such
as TYPE and LOCA of the failing FRU, or the failing bytes in a data stream error. To determine the
definition of the extended data (81- 816), see the 3174 Status Codes, GA27-3832. The extended data field
in the 3174 Status Codes correlates to this field. See the following example on how to correlate a log entry
to the 3174 Status Codes: Log Entry = 05040511 00 9253 22
0504 = Status code
0511 = Qualifier and hardware group
00 = PN (none associated with this log entry)
9253 = FRU Type number
22 = Location of the FRU
To find this status code in the 3174 Status Codes, look for status code 0504 with a QA field of 05.

Status: Indicates one of the following conditions on the configured terminals at the time the test request
was entered:
The attached terminal is communicating with the 3174.
The attached terminal is powered off or disconnected.
The terminal had been communicating with the 3174, but the terminal is now disabled
from the controller because of errors. Run Test 1, Option 4 (Event Log) and check for any
2XX status codes logged against the port number that was disabled.
The terminal is presently communicating with another controller through a dual control

The device attached to this port has not been communicating with the 3174. The
terminal on this port may not have been powered on.
To reset this condition at the terminal: Set the Normal/Test switch to Test and back
again, or perform a power-on reset.
The display or video (v), printer (p), or OFT device (i) for this port has a known history
of communicating with the 3174.

Note: If a terminal or multiplexer cable is disconnected and then reconnected, a terminal power-on reset
is required to allow the 3174 to recognize the change. The terminal counter is reset by an IML, by a
power-on reset on the attached terminal, or by online test 4.
Cable: Terminal errors that are caused by cable media-related problems are counted by the cable counter
for each port address. The cable counters accumulate the number of cable transmission errors occurring
in the most recent 30-minute time period. Every 30 minutes the cable counters are reset to 0 and error
counting starts again. When any cable counter passes the threshold of 16 errors, status code 201 51 is
recorded in the event log. The event log can be viewed to determine the number of cable errors that have
occurred over an extended period of time. This log is displayed by using online test /1. The cable counters
are also reset by an IML and online test /4 options 2 and 3. Individual cable counters are reset when the
attached terminal is powered on.
Cable Max: The Cable Max counters retain the peak value attained by the Cable Threshold counters over
an extended period. They are not reset every 30 minutes, but only are reset by IML and online test /4
options 2 and 3.

2-43. X.21 Short-Hold Mode Host Control Data

The configured XID (the one sent to the host at start time) and the last reconnect XID (the last one sent to
the host during an SHM session) are displayed. If, for example, a normal X.21 host connection should be
established following an SHM connection, the XID displayed by 16,3 would be for the last SHM connection.
Bit 6 (SHSI) in the XID sent indicates short hold mode is active: it is not sent on with the initial XID; it is sent
during a reconnection. This bit is turned on after an SNRM (Set Normal Response Mode) has been
received. Table 2-18 on page 2-112 explains the information contained on the X.21 SHM Host Control Data

Test 11: Trace Control
This test is to be used by service representatives. The service representative must obtain a password from
an IBM support facility to perform this test.
Trace Control Is an internal subsystem facility that Is used to record specific subsystem processing
Information. The Information that Is traced Is saved In machine storage and can be written to the Control
diskette as required. Two types of Information can be recorded by the trace facility:
• Data between processes
• Internal data flow.
Environment control block (ECB) traces record Information between processes. When ECBs are traced, the
appropriate ECB numbers are entered as part of the trace test request.
Function traces record Information within a process. For example, internal data flow for the file adapter Is
recorded.
The trace facility is performed in two environments:
• Background
• Foreground.
Background trace is integrated into the controller microcode and is started as a part of the controller
normal IML sequence. Background trace must be stopped before a foreground trace can be started.
Foreground trace is started by selecting a Test 11 option and specifying ECB(s) tracing or Internal Data
Flow traCing. Test 11 provides a means of starting, stopping, or modifying a particular trace. When the
trace facility is started, with a Start Trace command, a foreground trace starts. When the trace facility is
stopped with a Stop Trace command, all traces are stopped. When a foreground trace is no longer
required, the foreground trace must be stopped and the background trace must be restarted, either by use
of the Test 11 trace facility or by a normal IML.

Trace Control Mode
There are four trace control modes. Mode 02 is the default mode if another mode is not selected when
setting up a trace.
Mode 01
Mode 02
Mode 03
Mode 04

Do not write to the diskette or fixed disk and do not wrap the trace data area in controller
storage.
Do not write to the diskette or fixed disk and wrap the trace data area in controller storage.

How to Use the Trace Facility
Before you attempt to start or stop a trace, the following information must be obtained from the 3174
support center:
• Check digit
• Trace mode (optional)
• Setup ECB number(s) or Setup Trace Function number(s).

alert function
alert function without operator-generated alert message capability
alert function with operator-generated alert message capability from all ports
alert function with operator-generated alert message capability from port 0 only.

When properly filled in, the information on such a screen is transmitted as part of an alert Network
Management Vector Transport (NMVT) inbound to the host.
Included in these alert request units (RUs) are the customer-specified user-action code, a 120 (maximum
length) test message, and up to three 8-digit qualifiers.
Once the alert is received by NPDA, the user-action code is mapped into one of the unique customer
screens. The text message and qualifiers allow the operator to pass such things as a 3174 status code, a
port number, and a telephone number, as well as a text message, up to the NPDA operator.
When an authorized display station operator enters TEST mode, types in lA, and presses the ENTER key,
the following panel is displayed:

fA

is a two-character field for the user-action code (01 - 20 decimal required).
is a 120-character field filled with nulls for the text message (optional).
are three 8-character fields filled with nulls for the qualifiers (optional).

When the ENTER key is pressed with the above panel, a check is performed to ensure that the user-action
code (XX) is a number between 01 and 20 (decimal). If the number is between 01 and 20, the number is
translated by the 3174 into the appropriate user-action code and an alert is sent. If an invalid user-action
code is entered, the wrong number indicator is displayed in the operator information area.
After an operator-generated alert is sent, the display screen is cleared to prevent accidental
retransmission of the message. Only one operator-generated alert may be pending with the 3174 at one
time. For example, several authorized display station operators may request an alert screen
simultaneously. Once an operator fills the screen with the required user-action codes (and any optional
text and qualifiers) and presses the ENTER key, that entry is queued for transmission, provided no
operator-generated alert is already pending. If a second authorized operator attemptsto enter an alert
before the first operator-generated alert is transmitted to the host, the second operator's entry is inhibited,
the screen is not cleared, and the minus function indicator is displayed in the operator information area.
The second operator must press the RESET key and try again. If the first operator's screen has been
transmitted and no other operator has entered an alert, the second operator's entry is honored.

Regardless of the upstream response, the screen is cleared. If a link-level error occurs, the hardware will
attempt retransmission of the alert. If the data has been lost because of an error above the link level
(DACTPU), the information may be lost without any error indication to the operator.
If an attempt is made to request an operator-generated alert screen from an unauthorized display station,
the operator unauthorized indicator is displayed in the operator information area.
If other than the basic characters have been entered from the keyboard, the try again (X ? +) indicator is

Introduction
The online tests are in two sections. One set of Online Tests is for microcode that is Configuration Support
A and S (see page 2-81). The other set is for microcode that is Configuration Support B. If you are not sure
of your 3174 microcode release level, select online test 5, option 1 (/5,1). The release level will be
displayed on the screen.
Configuration B online tests has three modes: 1TEST, 2TEST, and 3TEST. You determine which test mode
you are in by the number preceding the word "TEST" in the operator information area of the screen (1 TEST,
2TEST, or 3TEST) or by selecting the host 10 when selecting a test option. 1TEST is for host IDs 1A through
1H, 2TEST is for host 10 2A, and 3TEST is for host 10 3A.
Not all tests and options are available on 2TEST and 3TEST. If you select a test or option that is not available

Day/Time

The Day/Time value indicates the setting of the 3174 interval timer when the request to display the log is
entered. Since the interval timer is reset to zeros when the controller is powered off and on, it also
indicates the elapsed time since the power-on occurred. This timer can be set to the actual time of day
using an offline test. The day value range is 000 to 255 and is increased by 1 every 24 hours. The time field
is specified as 00 hours through 23 and 00 minutes through 59.
The Day/Time represents the day and time with respect to power-on when the log event occurred.
SC Field

SC = The base status code that was logged. See the 3174 Status Codes, GA27-3832, for the recovery
action.
QA Field

QA

= The qualifier associated with the base status code.

PHG and CHG Fields

PHG (Primary Hardware Group) and CHG (Connection Hardware Group) = The hardware group associated
with the error that occurred. The PHG field contains 00 or 99 if the error is not associated with a particular
hardware group, or if the hardware group cannot be identified. The values 00 and 99 are not displayed in
the CHG field. An example of this would be a 3278 terminal attached to a TMA in a 3174 Model 1L. The

HA Field

HA = The Host Address, if the error is related to attached terminals. The HA field is not displayed at the
operator panel. Certain terminals may use multiple logical terminals, such as a 3290.
Extended Data Fields (B1-B16)

The extended data fields contain supplementary information that may be useful to resolve a problem, such
as TYPE and LOCA of the failing FRU, or the failing bytes in a data stream error. To determine the
definition of the extended data (81 - 816), see the 3174 Status Codes, GA27-3832. The extended data field
in the status code chart correlates to this field. See the following example on how to correlate a log entry
to the 3174 Status Codes:
Log Entry

= 05040511 00925322

0504 = Status code
0511 = Qualifier and hardware group
00 = PN (none associated with this log entry)
9253 = FRU Type number
22 = Location of the FRU
To find this status code in the status code chart, look for status code
0504 with a QA field of 05.

A terminal that is attached to this controller through a dual control unit multiplexer.
A terminal that is configured only for another controller through a dual control unit
multiplexer. That terminal will not communicate with this 3174.
When displayed on this line under port 00, a question mark (?) means one of the
following:

• The controller has not communicated with a directly attached terminal.
• The controller has not communicated with any of the terminals connected to a 3299.

Status: Indicates one of the following conditions on the configured terminals at the time the test request
was entered:
The attached terminal is communicating with the 3174.
The attached terminal is powered off or disconnected.
The terminal had been communicating with the 3174, but the terminal is now disabled
from the controller because of errors. Run Test 1, Option 4 (Event Log) and check for any
2XX status codes logged against the port number that was disabled.
The terminal is presently communicating with another controller through a dual control
unit multiplexer, in other words, it is in the switched state.

Terminal: Indicates the type of device connected.

The device attached to this port has not been communicating with the 3174. The
terminal on this port may not have been powered on.
To reset this condition at the terminal: set the Normal/Test switch to Test and back
again, or perform a power-on reset.
The display or video (v), printer (p), or OFT device (i) for this port has a known history
of communicating with the 3174.

Note: If a terminal or multiplexer cable is disconnected and then reconnected, a terminal power-on reset
is required to allow the 3174 to recognize the change. The terminal counter is reset by an IML, by a
power-on reset on the attached terminal, or by online test 4.
Cable: Terminal errors that are caused by cable media-related problems are counted by the cable counter
for each port address. The cable counters accumulate the number of cable transmission errors occurring
in the most recent 30-minute time period. Every 30 minutes the cable counters are reset to 0 and error
counting starts again. When any cable counter passes the threshold of 16 errors, status code 201 51 is
recorded in the event log. The event log can be viewed to determine the number of cable errors that have
occurred over an extended period of time. This log is displayed by using online test 11. The cable counters
are also reset by an IML and online test 14 options 2 and 3. Individual cable counters are reset when the
attached terminal is powered on.
Cable Max: The Cable Max counters retain the peak value attained by the Cable Threshold counters over
an extended period. They are not reset every 30 minutes, but only are reset by IML and online test 14
options 2 and 3.

Where:

= XID sent by the 3174 (comes from configured data)

=

XID received by the 3174 on a reconnection

The configured XID (the one sent to the host at start time) and the last reconnect XID (the last one sent to
the host during an SHM session) are displayed. If, for example, a normal X.21 host connection should be
established following an SHM connection, the XID displayed by 16,3 would be for the last SHM connection.
Bit 6 (SHSI) in the XID sent indicates short hold mode is active: it is not sent on with the initial XID; it is sent
during a reconnection. This bit is turned on after an SNRM (Set Normal Response Mode) has been
received. Table 2-22 on page 2-155 explains the information contained on the X.21 SHM Host Control Data
panel shown in Figure 2-67.

Test 11 Configuration B: Trace Control
This test is to be used by service representatives. The service representative must obtain a password from
an IBM support facility to perform this test.
Trace Control is an internal subsystem facility that is used to record specific subsystem processing
information. The information that is traced is saved in machine storage and can be written to the Control
diskette as required. Two types of information can be recorded by the trace facility:
• Data between processes
• Internal data flow.
Environment control block (ECB) traces record information between processes. When ECBs are traced, the
appropriate ECB numbers are entered as part of the trace test request.
Function traces record information within

Background trace is integrated into the controller microcode and is started as a part of the controller
normal IML sequence. Background trace must be stopped before a foreground trace can be started.
Foreground trace is started by selecting a Test 11 option and specifying ECB(s) tracing or Internal Data
Flow tracing. Test 11 provides a means of starting, stopping, or modifying a particular trace. When the
trace facility is started, with a Start Trace command, a foreground trace starts. When the trace facility is
stopped with a Stop Trace command, all traces are stopped. When a foreground trace is no longer
required, the foreground trace must be stopped and the background trace must be restarted, either by use
of the Test 11 trace facility or by a normal IML.

Trace Control Mode
There are four trace control modes. Mode 02 is the default mode if another mode is not selected when
setting up a trace.

alert function with operator-generated alert message capability from port 0 only.

When properly filled in, the information on such a screen is transmitted as part of an alert Network
Management Vector Transport (NMVT) inbound to the host.
Included in these alert request units (RUs) are the customer-specified user-action code, a 120 (maximum
length) test message, and up to three a-digit qualifiers.
Once the alert is received by NPDA, the user-action code is mapped into one of the unique customer
screens. The text message and qualifiers allow the operator to pass such things as a 3174 status code, a
port number, and a telephone number, as well as a text message, up to the NPDA operator.
When an authorized display station operator enters TEST mode, types in fA,n (n =.1A-1 H, 2A, 3A) and

When the ENTER key is pressed with the above panel, a check is performed to ensure that the user-action
code (XX) is a number between 01 and 20 (decimal). If the number is between 01 and 20, the number is
translated by the 3174 into the appropriate user-action code and an alert is sent. If an invalid user-action
code is entered, the wrong number indicator is displayed in the operator information area.
After an operator-generated alert is sent, the display screen is cleared to prevent accidental
retransmission of the message. Only one operator-generated alert may be pending with the 3174 at one
time. For example, several authorized display station operators may request an alert screen
simultaneously. Once an operator fills the screen with the required user-action codes (and any optional
text and qualifiers) and presses the ENTER key, that entry is queued for transmission, provided no
oper;3,tor-generated alert is already pending. If a second authorized operator attempts to enter an alert
before the first operator-generated alert is transmitted to the host, the second operator's entry is inhibited,
the screen is not cleared, and the minus function indicator is displayed in the operator information area.

The second operator must press the RESET key and try again. If the first operator's screen has been
transmitted and no other operator has entered an alert, the second operator's entry is honored.
Regardless of the upstream response, the screen is cleared. If a link-level error occurs, the hardware will
attempt retransmission of the alert. If the data has been lost because of an error above the link level
(DACTPU), the information may be lost without any error indication to the operator.
If an attempt is made to request an operator-generated alert screen from an unauthorized display station,
the operator unauthorized indicator is displayed in the operator information area.

Customize the Control Disk
Some customizing requires that hardware and software configuration information be either
specified or modified on the Control disk that will be used to make a 3174 operational; for
example, defining host, device, and printer attachments, modifiable-keyboard types, and RPQs.
When you select this procedure, a second menu is displayed. See the 3174 Utilities Guide for
the procedure.
Merge DSL Code
For DSL displays or for the Asynchronous Emulation Adapter (both of which require the
controller to downstream-load microcode), there is a separate DSL disk. During this procedure,
you merge one DSL disk onto another DSL disk. See 3174 Utilities Guide for this procedure.
Copy Files
This selection allows you to duplicate valid 3174 disks (Control, DSL, and Utility disks) and copy
portions of a Control disk or to modify certain parameters during a copy. See the 3174 Utilities
Guide for this procedure.
Diagnostics
IBM service representatives or customer service personnel can select this procedure to detect
and isolate hardware or software problems in the controller.
Microcode Upgrade
When new function or maintenance enhancements are added to a configuration support, IBM
sends its customers, at their request, an upgraded Utility, Control, RPQ, or DSL diskette. During
this procedure, you merge the customizing data from an already customized Control disk onto
the upgraded Control disk. See the 3174 Utilities Guide for this procedure.
Encrypt/Decrypt
If you have ordered the Encrypt/Decrypt feature for your 3174, you need to use this procedure.
The Encrypting/Decrypting procedure protects data from unauthorized disclosure by encrypting
data sent from the 3174 to the host system and by decrypting data received by the 3174 from the
host system. Only authorized persons should use this procedure. See the 3174 Utilities Guide
for this procedure.
Central Site Customizing
Central Site Customizing allows you to tailor control unit microcode for each controller in a
network at a central location. The tailored microcode can then be sent electronically (if you are
using the NetView™ Distribution Manager software package) or physically (on a diskette) to the
various controllers in the network, while a copy of the customizing is stored at the central site
for future reference. See the 3174 Central Site Customizing User's Guide for more information
on this procedure.
Media Management
If your 3174 Establishment Controller is equipped with at least one fixed disk drive, you may
wish to perform this procedure. The Media Management procedure provides a means for
managing the data resident on a fixed disk. You may use this procedure to set up a fixed disk in
order to IML from it, or you can use this procedure to delete subdirectories that are stored on it.
The 3174 Utilities Guide describes the procedure.
Identify Customizing Keyboard
During this procedure, you identify on a Utility disk the keyboard of the display you are using to
customize. The keyboard you specify will be supported on that disk for all other customizing
procedures and any time you recustomize using that disk. See the 3174 Utilities Guide for more
detail on this option.

How to Perform the Coaxial Cable Ground Loop Check
CAUTION:
Do not connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity. (For translations of this safety
notice, see Safety Notice 5 in IBM 3174 Safety Notices, GA27-3824.)
CAUTION:
To avoid the possibility of electrical shock, disconnect all power plugs before connecting or disconnecting
cables. Do not reconnect power plugs until connection or disconnection of the cables is completed. (For
translations of this safety notice, see Safety Notice 1 in IBM 3174 Safety Notices, GA27-3824.)

This procedure is used to test for ground loop problems on each terminal connected by coaxial cable to the
controller. This procedure is not to be used with either the IBM Cabling System or telephone twisted-pair
cable.
A ground loop is a condition where earth ground is connected to the controller from an external ground
source. Ground loops can cause intermittent problems on terminals or other equipment connected to the
subsystem. Most ground loops occur through shield problems of the coaxial cable, keyboard grounds, or
an internal short in the connected terminal. The shield of the coaxial cable is connected to DC ground. DC
ground is only connected to earth ground in the controller but not in the terminals or terminal multiplexers.

Step 1: AC Voltage Check
At the terminal end of the coaxial cable being tested, check for AC voltage between the coaxial cable shield
and the terminal frame.
Note: Do not disconnect the coaxial connector from the terminal until you are directed to do so later in this
procedure.
a. Set the terminal power on.
b. Set the meter range to measure AC line voltage.
c. At the terminal, connect the meter between the coaxial connector shell and the terminal frame. Do
not physically touch either surface.
d. If the meter indicates an AC voltage less than 1 volt, go to "Step 2: Coaxial Resistance Check." If
the meter indicates an AC voltage greater than 1 volt, AC ground is not correct. A hazardous
condition exists. The power cord may be damaged or the AC power source may not be grounded
correctly.
e. Set the terminal power switch to OFF.
f. If the terminal is an IBM terminal, remove the power cord from the voltage source and check the
terminal power supply for broken insulation, arcing, and the correct wiring of the power cord. If the
terminal is not an IBM terminal, notify the customer that there is a ground problem on the terminal
or the power source is wired incorrectly. If no problem is found in the terminal, have the customer
call an electrician to check the grounding and wiring of the AC power source.
g. Do not continue until the problem is repaired. Repeat steps a through d to verify the repair and
continue the ground loop check.

Step 2: Coaxial Resistance Check
At the terminal end of the coaxial cable being tested, check resistance in the coaxial cable.
a.
b.
c.
d.

At the terminal, set the Power switch to the Off Position.
Connect the meter between the coaxial connector and the terminal frame.
Set the meter to the lowest resistance scale.
The meter should indicate a reading between 0 and 6 ohms. If the meter reading is correct, go to
"Step 3: Terminal Ground Check" on page 2-168.
e. If the reading is higher than 6 ohms, there is a high resistance because the coaxial cable shield is
not grounded correctly at the controller end of the cable.

Chapter 2. Diagnostic Information

2-167

\:ieneral proceaures

This may be caused by:
• An open coaxial shield
• An open coaxial cable (not connected at the controller).
f. Do not continue until the problem is corrected. After the problem is corrected, repeat steps a
through d to verify the repair and continue the ground loop check.

Step 3: Terminal Ground Check
At the terminal end of the coaxial cable being tested, check for a ground on the coaxial cable connector in
the terminal.
a.
b.
c.
d.

Disconnect the coaxial cable from the terminal.
Connect the meter between the coaxial connector body (on the terminal) and the terminal frame.
Set the meter to the highest resistance scale.
If the meter does not indicate a reading of infinity or a very high resistance, there is a short to
ground in the terminal between the coaxial connector body and the terminal frame ground. If the
meter reading is correct, go to "Step 4: Coaxial Cable to Terminal Check."
• If this is an IBM terminal, repair the short in the terminal. Repeat steps a through d to verify
the repair. If this is not an IBM terminal, report the problem to the customer. The customer is
responsible for the repair or replacement of non-IBM devices. After the terminal is repaired,
repeat steps a through d to verify the repai r.
e. Connect the coaxial cable to the terminal.
f. Go to the controller to continue the ground loop check.

Step 4: Coaxial Cable to Terminal Check
At the controller end of the cable, check for a ground in the coaxial cable.
a. At the controller:
1) Disconnect the coaxial cable from the controller coaxial connector.
2) Set the meter range to the highest resistance scale.
3) Connect the meter between the coaxial cable shell and the controller frame.
4) If the meter does not indicate a reading of infinity or a very high resistance (meg-ohms), there
is a low resistance ground in the coaxial cable. If the meter reading is correct repeat Step 4 on
any remaining coaxial cables.
This may be caused by:
• A pinched coaxial cable
• A grounded shield on the coaxial cable
• A bad lightning protective device on the coaxial cable.
b. Have the customer correct the problem.
c. When the problem is corrected, repeat steps a 1) through a 4) to verify the repair.
If all problems have been repaired or there are no failures of the coaxial cable that was just tested:
a. Reconnect the coaxial cable at both ends.
b. Set the Power switch on the terminal to the ON position.
c. Repeat Step 4 on any remaining coaxial cables.

perform a power-on reset. Some terminals require up to 2 minutes to complete a power-on reset.
2. Check the terminal for the ready symbol (S, 4, or 6) in the operator information area. For printers,
check for the appropriate ready indicator. For some terminals, such as a personal computer, you may
need to change its mode that allows communication with the 3174.
3. If the ready condition is on, the terminal and the port the terminal is attached to are working properly.
Return to the MAP that sent you here.
4. If the ready condition is not on, then the hardware configuration from the terminal back to the controller
is failing. Return to the MAP that sent you here.

How to Use the 3174 Patch Procedure
The patch procedure provides the ability either to add two types of patches or to process an existing patch.
The two types of patches that can be added are PC and ZAP patches. When a patch is added, a check digit
and a line count are entered as part of the patch data to verify that all patch data has been keyed in
correctly. Sixty patches can be installed on the Control diskette and 60 on the Utility diskette.

PC Patches
PC patches are applied only to the link-edited microcode that is on the Control diskette. PC patches are
prefixed with the letters PC. PC patches are not connected in any way with the IBM Personal Computer.
When these patches are added, they display on the patches panel of the Control diskette. When a PC patch
is added, data is entered only on those panels that are required for the patch being added. When a panel is
displayed that does not require any input, use PF 8 to bypass that panel, or PF12 to process the patch if all
the required patch data has been entered.

Zap Patches
Zap patches are applied to prelinked microcode that is contained on the Control or Utility diskette. Zap
patches are prefixed with the letters ZC or ZU. ZC means the patch is applied to the microcode on the
Control diskette. ZU means the patch is applied to the microcode on the Utility diskette.

How to Perform the 3174 Dump
The 3174 dump procedure is a standalone program that is contained on its own diskette. The dump
diskette (PN 73X3726) is obtained from an IBM Parts Distribution Center. The following information can be
retrieved from the controller by use of the dump procedure:
•
•
•
•
•

Controller Storage and Register Space
Controller Memory Mapped 1/0 (MMIO)
Control Diskette Link-Edit Map
Control Diskette Configuration Files
Control Diskette Event Log and Trace.

The dump procedure is performed at the 3174 operator panel. The 3174 must be offline from the host
system. This procedure requires a 3174 dump diskette and is performed when the controller is in its failing
state.
Note: A second dump diskette may be required to dump all of machine storage.

1. Remove the diskette from the diskette drive.
2. Insert the 3174 dump diskette.

Warning: If the following steps are not performed properly, the dump information may be DESTROYED.
3. Press and hold Alt 1
4. Press and rei ease 1M L.
5. At 31, release Alt 1.
6. At 40, press Enter.
7. The following status codes are displayed:
5901 5902 5903 5904 5905

8. At 5907, remove the dump diskette and insert the Control diskette.
Do NOT press any operator panel keys at this time.
9. The following status codes are displayed:
5908 5909

10. At 5910, remove the Control diskette and insert the original dump diskette.
11. The following status codes are displayed:

5912 5913
12. If status code 5914 is displayed, remove the dump diskette and insert a second dump diskette. If 5914 is

Notes:

1. Under normal no-load conditions, the output of the power supply should never exceed the Maximum
Limit. The no-load upper limit range will vary according to how much of the "LOAD" is attached.
2. The -5Vdc and -12Vdc are not used on some models.
Example: Removing just one power connector, such as P1 (Planar), leaves the "LOAD" of P2 (Diskette
Drive) and P3 (Fan) still connected to the power supply. When the voltages are measured at the P1 (Planar)
connector, the voltages will tend to be high, but not as high as when all three power plugs are removed.

Safety Inspection Guide

Introduction
This chapter is a guide to inspecting 3174 Establishment Controller Models 81 R, 82R, 91 R, and 92R for
potentially unsafe conditions. It provides a list of preparatory items, a checklist of inspection items, and an
illustration of safety labels.

Preparation
• Completion of Electrical Safety Training Course for IBM Customer Engineers is required (self-study
Course 77170, or FI8 II Course 70702, or the current level of each).
• Machine power should be off and electrical power removed from the machine before you begin the
checklist.
• The following should be available for reference:
-

Copies of CEMs (ECs) for this machine type
3174 Site Planning, GA23-0213
Electrical Safety for IBM Customer Engineers, 8229-8124.

Note: Although completeness and accuracy are the goals of this guide, not all machine configurations (for
example, special features, RPQs) are covered. If you encounter a machine with RPQs or features
not described in this guide, use the installation instructions for the RPQ or feature for additional
information. Otherwise, use this guide and good judgment to obtain a safe machine.

General Checklist Guidelines
The intent of this inspection guide is to help you identify potentially unsafe conditions on machines being
inspected. Each machine, at the time of its manufacture, had required safety items installed to protect the
owners/operators and service personnel from injury. This checklist covers only those items. Good
judgment should be used to identify potential safety conditions not covered by this inspection guide.
Perform the following checklist procedure before bringing power up on the machine. If any apparent
unsafe conditions are present, a determination must be made on how serious the hazard could be and
whether to continue without first correcting the problem.
Consider these conditions and the safety hazards they present:
• Electrical, especially primary power-for example, a machine frame with a voltage potential that is
above ground potential can cause a serious or fatal electrical shock.
• Explosive -for example, a damaged CRT face or bulging capacitors can result in serious injury.
• Use of chemicals, cleaning solutions, or solvents other than those specified by IBM.
Checklist

IJ

Enter the machine serial number.

Check

IJ
IJ

Check that machine power is off and the mainline power cable is disconnected before you start this
procedure.
Check that the power cable is not frayed or damaged.

o
o

Check for any non-IBM alterations: If there are any, has R009, Non-IBM Alteration/Attachment
Survey been completed?
Check for broken or loose parts or assemblies.
Check all retai ni ng screws, such as:
Those that secure the planar board to the frame housing. See Figure 4-1 on page 4-4.
Those that secure the power supply. See Figure 4-1 on page 4-4.
Check that the yellow/green ground wire on the AC line filter is connected to the machine frame.
See part 2 of Figure 3-8 on page 3-12.

Check for Machine Labels:

o
o

Verify that labels are installed as indicated in Figure 4-1 on page 4-4.
Verify that the voltage label matches the voltage stamp on the top of the power supply.

Power Plug Ground Check

o

With a CE meter set to the RX1 range, check continuity between the ground pin on the power plug
and the machine frame. The reading should be 0 ohm.

Test Verification
Run either of the following tests:

o
o

Test All 81 (CSU). See "Alt 1 IML Description" on page 1-22.
Alt 2 IML. See "Alt 2 IML (Test 82) Procedure" on page 1-24.
Investigate any failure before releasing the machine for customer use.

How To Use This Parts Catalog
• SIMILAR ASSEMBLIES: If two assemblies
contain a majority of identical parts, they are
broken down on the same list. Common parts are
shown by one index number. Parts peculiar to one
or the other of the assemblies are listed separately
and identified by description.
• AR: (As Required) in the Units column indicates
that the quantity is not the same for all machines.
• NP: (Non-Procurable) in the Units column indicates that the part is non-procurable and that the
individual parts or the next higher assembly
should be ordered.
• NR: (Not Recommended) in the Units column
indicates that the part is procurable but not recommended for field replacement, and that the next
higher assembly should be ordered.
• R: (Restricted) in the Units column indicates
that the part has a restricted availability.

• INDENTURE: The indenture is marked by a
series of dots located before the parts description.
The indenture indicates the relationship of a part
to the next higher assembly. For example:

IBM Cabling System
The IBM Cabling System allows customers to interconnect devices within a single building or a group of
buildings located close together. This cabling system uses a star wiring arrangement, which means that
individual cables run from a concentration point to each user's work area. Figure 8-1 shows an example of
a typical cabling system installation.
Note: This appendix is not intended to give full details on the IBM Cabling System. It is here as an aid in
problem determination for the 3174 Establishment Controller. For further details, see to the IBM
Cabling System Planning and Installation Guide, GA27-3361.

3299 Terminal Multiplexer Reference Information
This section contains information about 3299 Terminal Multiplexers Models 1,2, and, 3 and IBM Cabling
System (ICS) cables that can be used with the 3299. This information is not intended to provide all the
details about 3299s and the IBM Cabling System. It is here as an aid in problem determination for the 3174
Establishment Controller.
The 3299 Terminal Multiplexer attaches to port 0 on the 3174 terminal adapter. The input signals from the
terminal adapter contain addressing to select one of eight possible 3299 output driver/receiver ports. The
distance 3299s are located from the controller depends on the cable media being used and whether the
particular 3299 requi res a balun. See Table A-1.

Note: Terminals with the dual-purpose connector (OPC) have the driver/receiver circuitry that does not
require the use of baluns. The OPC connector on these terminals accept coaxial cable and IBM
Cabling System Type 1 and Type 2 cables.

3299 Model 1
The 3299 Terminal Multiplexer Model 1 is packaged in a single box that contains circuitry to multiplex the
data streams of eight terminals onto a single coaxial or twisted pair cable from the 3174. It also increases
the distance that terminals can be located from the 3174 as shown in Table A-1.

3299 Model 2
The 3299 Model 2 is a modified version of the 3299 Model 1. It provides the capability of being attached to
the IBM Cabling System directly either with coaxial cable or IBM data grade twisted pair cables.
Telephone twisted-pair cables (type 3 specified) can also be used although they require an IBM/ROLM
balun. A wrap test can be performed on the 3299 Model 2 that is attached to a 3174. The microcode to
drive this test resides in the 3174.

3299 Model 3
, The 3299 Model 3 is identical in function to the 3299 Model 2. The primary difference is that it connects
directly to the IBM Cabling System wiring type 3 specified cable (telephone twisted pair). The eight output
ports on the Model 3 are RJ11 type connectors which accept only telephone type-twisted pair (TTP). The
connection to the 3174 is through coaxial cable or IBM Cabling System using a dual purpose connector
(DPC). This connector accepts either a BNC-style connector or an IBM Cabling System connector. A wrap
test can be performed on the 3299 Model 3 that is attached to a 3174. The microcode to drive this test
resides in the 3174.
Note: Only IBM Cabling System type 3 cable is supported from the 3299 Model 3 to a terminal. Flat

telephone wire and stubs (wires that are not terminated) are not supported.

3299 Model Interchangeability
The 3299 is a service exchange center product. Fault isolation and resolution are customer
responsibilities. To improve availability it is recommended to the customer that a minimum number of
spare 3299s should be purchased, depending on the number of 3299s installed. When a customer is
exchanging 3299s during problem determination, the following rules should be followed:
• A 3299 Model 1 can be replaced with a Model 1 or a Model 2
• A 3299 Model 2 can be replaced only with a Model 2.
Note: If coaxial cable is the only cable media being used to connect the terminals to the 3299, then a

3299 Model 2 can be replaced with a Model 1.
• A 3299 Model 3 can only be replaced with a Model 3.

3299 Cabling
Figure A-2 on page A-5 shows the possible subsystem cabling for the 3299 Models 1,2, and 3 with the
different type of cabling media that is supported with and without baluns.

Device Signal Cable Connectors
With the availability of different types of cable media and cable media connectors, it is important to identify
which type of connectors are being used.
Older 3270 products, such as Model 1 3299s use a standard BNC jack and accept standard BNC connectors
that are used with coaxial cabling or the coax-to-twisted-pair balun. Later 3270 products, such as the 3174,
and some new display products, use the dual-purpose connector (OPC) jack, which is designed to accept
both the coaxial BNC connector and the dual-purpose connector.
The products that use the OPC have two sets of cable media matching circuitry to support the attachment of
coaxial cable or IBM Cabling System cable media. The connector on the cable mechanically connects the
proper impedance matching circuit elements to the product OPC jack.
The BNC and OPC jacks are not easily distinguished; however, there are slight differences. The inner
center conductor insulator on the OPC jack has an additional conductor located in the center. The OPC
cable connector is identified by an insulator tube that extends approximately 5 millimeters (3/16 inch)
beyond the body of the connector. See Figure A-3.
Because of this insulator the OPC connector cannot be connected to a BNC jack; however, a BNC connector
can be connected to a OPC jack.
When swapping device cables it is very important to swap a cable only with another cable that has an
identical connector on the end of the cable.

X.25 Feature
The Type 1 Communication and Concurrent Communication Adapter in the 3174 Establishment Controller
enable the 3174 to communicate with host systems through an X.25 network. IBM-defined SNA protocols
are used. The SNA protocols used by the 3174 are identical with existing 3274 SNA attachments. They are
not detailed here. These SNA protocols are described in the 3174 Functional Description, GA23-0218, and
X.25 Operations, GA23-0204.
The International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (CCITT) recommendation is that X.25
define an interface between customer data terminal equipment (DTE) and data circuit-terminating
equipment (DCE) to attach DTEs to packet switched data networks (PSDNs).
The definition includes:
Physical Level:

The mechanical, electrical, functional, and procedural characteristics to activate,
maintain, and deactivate physical communication links between DTEs and DCEs.

Link Level:

The link access procedure for interchange of data across communication links between
DTEs and DCEs.

Packet Level:

The packet formats and logical protocols for the exchange of control information and user
data between DTEs and DCEs.

To use the X.25 function, the 3174 must have a 3278, 3279, or similar display station attached.

X.25 Elements
Physical Level
• X.21 leased circuit
• X.21 bis (V.24 or V.35) leased circuit
• CCITT
• Transmission is NRZ (Non-Return to Zero) with clocking externally supplied
• Up to 48 000 bps for 3174 Models 81R and 91R

Link Level
• Link Access Procedure Balanced (LAPB)
• Modulo 8 Link Level Sequence Numbering

Packet Level

3174 Models 81 R through 92R Maintenance Information

X.2S Network
This section describes X.25 virtual circuits and logical channels.

Virtual Circuits
A permanent virtual circuit (PVC) may be thought of as a point-to-point SDLC leased line. A switched
virtual circuit (SVC) may be thought of as a point-to-point switched line.

Logical Channels
Each virtual circuit is assigned a logical channel group number (0 -15) and a logical channel number
(1 - 255) by the packet switched data network (PSDN). These two numbers make up the logical channel
identifier (LCID). This LCID may be entered while the 3174 is being configured.
The following logical-channel types may exist:
Permanent channel
Outgoing channel
Incoming channel
Two-way channel

a PVC dedicated to data transfer between a 3174 and a specific host DTE.
an SVC where only the 3174 can initiate a call.
an SVC where only a remote DTE can initiate a call.
an SVC where either the 3174 or the remote DTE can initiate a call.

Packet Types
The following X.25 packet types are supported by the 3174. The cause and diagnostic codes mentioned in
the descriptions are defined later in this appendix.

Call Request (SVC)
The Call Request packet is transmitted by the 3174 when an X.25 dial operation is performed by the
operator. This packet contains the called number and optional information to match the user's
subscription. The optional information is based on the options selected while configuring the 3174 or on
operator input.

Incoming Call (SVC)
The Incoming Call packet is received by the 3174 as a result of a remote DTE transmitting a Call Request
Packet. The 3174 examines the data in the packet (based on options selected during configuration) to
ensure that it conforms to the information configured or as specified by the display operator via a dial
operation.

Call Accepted (SVC)
The Call Accepted packet is sent by the 3174 after an Incoming Call packet has been received that
conforms to the network facilities specified.

Call Connected (SVC)
The Call Connected packet is received by the 3174 as confirmation that the remote DTE has accepted the
3174's Call Request. The circuit is now in the data-ready state, and SNA protocols may begin.

Appendix 8. X.25 Feature

8-5

Clear Request (SVC)
The Clear Request packet is sent by the 3174 as a result of an X.2S disconnect operation by the operator or
the network (normal circuit termination), or as a result of certain errors detected by the 3174 or the
network. Cause and diagnostic codes are included. If caused by a 3174-detected error, the codes are
logged and displayed by the operator.

Clear Indication (SVC)
The Clear Indication packet is received by the 3174 as a result of a normal clearing sequence, or as a result
of problems detected by the network or the remote DTE. The circuit is stopped, a Clear Confirmation
packet is sent, and nonzero cause and diagnostic codes are logged and displayed to the operator.

Clear Confirmation (SVC)
The Clear Confirmation Packet is sent by the 3174 to acknowledge the receipt of a Clear Indication packet,
or may be received by the 3174 in a network response to Clear Request packet.

Reset Request (PVC)
The Reset Request packet is sent when the 3174 detects certain X.2S errors. Cause and Diagnostic codes
are included and logged. The 3174 then attempts to reopen the circuit. The Reset Request packet is not
sent during normal PVC operation wherein the 3174 remains connected to the circuit/link until powered off.
A Reset Request packet is sent as part of a LOCAL key operation when the circuit is connected, or upon
detection of certain X.2S network error conditions. The SNA layers must be reactivated via a QSM (SNRM),
ACTPU, ACTLU sequence.

Reset Indication (PVC/SVC)
The Reset Indication packet is received by the 3174 as a result of problems detected by the network or the
remote DTE. The circuit is stopped, and the error condition is logged with cause and diagnostic codes.
The SNA layers must be reactivated via a QSM (SNRM), ACTPU, ACTLU sequence.

Reset Confirmation (PVC/SVC)
The Reset Confirmation packet is transmitted by the 3174 to acknowledge receipt of a Reset Indication
packet, or the Reset Confirmation packet may be received by the 3174 in confirmation of a Reset Request
packet.

Restart Request (PVC/SVC)
The Restart Request packet is sent when the 3274 is closing the link because it has detected certain X.2S
errors, or when a LOCAL key has been accepted. The Restart Request packet is also sent when an
open-link operation is performed. Open-link operations are performed when:
• A 3174 IML is performed.
• Local mode has been entered and the COMM key is pressed.
• The link has been closed because of an error condition.
In this event, the 3174 immediately attempts to open the link. Cause and diagnostic codes are included and
logged. When the open-link operation occurs because of error conditions, the codes and the
Communication Reminder indicator are displayed.

8-6

3174 Models 81R through 92R Maintenance Information

A.~::»

r-ealUre

Restart Indication (PVC/SVC)
When the Restart Indication packet is received, the 3174 responds with a Restart Confirmation packet, shuts
down the link, notifies the operator by displaying an indicator with cause and diagnostic codes, and logs
the error.

Restart Confirmation (PVC/SVC)
When the 3174 has sent a Restart Request packet as a result of attempting to initialize packet level
operation, receipt of a Restart Confirmation packet Signals the completion of initialization. The 3174 sends
a Restart Confirmation packet whenever a Restart Indication packet is received from the DTE.

Data (PVC/SVC)
The Data packet is used to transmit and receive data once a circuit has been established.

Receiver Not Ready (PVC/SVC)
When the 3174 receives a Receiver Not Ready packet, the 3174 stops transmission until a Receiver Ready
is received. The 3174 does not send a Receiver Not Ready packet.

Receiver Ready (PVC/SVC)
The Receiver Ready packet is sent by the 3174 in response to any packet that is received unless an
outgoing data packet is ready for transmission. Receipt of a Receiver Ready packet indicates that
transmission by the 3174 may continue.

Diagnostic (PVC/SVC)
The Diagnostic packet contains diagnostic information and is received when a Reset, Clear, or Restart
packet is not appropriate. The cause and diagnostic information is logged, and no further action is taken.

Switched Virtual Circuit (SVC)
The X.25 SVC capability of the 3174 Establishment Controller permits the operator of an attached 3178,
3278,3279, or similar display station to connect the 3174 and its attached terminals to a remote host system
through an X.25 packet switched network. Note that this capability is not supported on distributed function
terminals, such as the 3290 Information Panel.
The functions necessary to connect the 3174 to the remote host are invoked by operator actions at the
keyboard (and incoming calls). The status of the 3174 with respect to the network is conveyed to the
operator with indicators in the operator information area of the display screen.
To support X.25 SVC functions, additional key functions and indicators are provided at the display. These
key functions are a subset of the X.21 Switched feature. The indicators (symbols in the operator
information area) are the same as those used in the X.21 Switched feature except that the indicators
containing call progress signals in,the X.21 feature are redefined and expanded to contain cause and
diagnostic codes.
Note: Operator information area indicators are defined in the attached display station's problem
determination guide.

X.25 States
• Call Ready - Circuit is in the disconnected state. It is possible to attempt a connection.
• Local- Link and circuit are disconnected. It is impossible to perform a connecting operation.
• In-Use - Circuit is connected and ready for data.
• Incoming Call or Outgoing Call - Connection operation is in progress.
• Disconnection in progress - Disconnection operation is in progress.
• Error - Error states are displayed by the Machine Check and Communication Check indicators.

Normal Operating Procedure
All the X.25 SVC operations are performed using the display station keyboard, screen, and the operation
information area of the screen. The indicators that are displayed in the operator information area are
defined in the attached display station problem determination guide.
Note: Because there are not enough key positions to execute each X.25 Switched operation by a single
keystroke, a key called the Extension key is defined. To execute any of the X.25 function keys (and
the LOAD MATRIX key), the sequence is:
1. Press and hold the AL T key.
2. Press the Extension key (> ).

8-8

3174 Models 81R through 92R Maintenance Information

X.2S Feature

3. Release the ALT and Ex~ension keys.
4. Press the desired X.25 function key.
Except for this section, pressing the ALT and Extension keys is not mentioned in this manual. Thus,
"press the DIAL key" means press the ALT and Extension keys and press the DIAL key.
When the X.25 function is used, the LOAD MATRIX KEY function is moved from position 38 to position 15.
The X.25 function keys and positions are:
•
•
•
•
•

DIAL key (position 4)
LOCAL key (position 5)
COMM (Communication) key (position 6)
DISC (Disconnect) key (position 8)
LOAD MATRIX KEY (Load Host Print Matrix; port 0 only) (position 15).

Key layout is defined later in this appendix.
Indicators to show X.25 states are displayed in the Reminder area of the operator information area. The
Input Inhibited indicator (X) is displayed per normal 3174 function. The In Use indicator (N) is displayed in
location 7 of the Readiness and System Connection Area.
X.25 state indicators disappear while a Communication Check Reminder indicator is displayed.
The Operator Communication Check indicator has a higher priority than the Communication Check
indicator and a lower priority than the Machine Check indicator.

Call Ready (SVC only)
• After power is on and the link is operational, the Call Ready indicator is displayed.
• The DIAL key, LOCAL key, or an Incoming Call is accepted when the Call Ready indicator is displayed ..
When the DIAL key is pressed in call ready state, the Dial indicator replaces the Call Ready indicator. The
DIAL key initiates keyboard reset and clear functions simultaneously. The reset function restores the
keyboard, repositions the cursor to home, goes to the base character set, and restores all input-inhibit
conditions except:
•
•
•
•
•

Wait
Device busy
Device very busy
Device not functional
Security key.

If the keyboard is not reset, the DIAL key performs no function, and extension mode is exited.
The dial screen is displayed. (See "Dial Mode Screen" on page 8-20 for a definition of the dial screen.)
The appropriate information is entered by the operator.
After the information is keyed in, the ENTER key is pressed. If the data is successfully validated by the
3174, the data entered by the operator is stored, a Call Request packet is assembled and transmitted by the
3174, and the Outgoing Call in Progress indicator replaces the dial indicator.
If the ENTER key has not been pressed, or if the entered data was not valid, the information stored by the
last successful DIAL/ENTER key operation may be retrieved by preSSing the DIAL key again. When dial
mode has been entered by a display station, an attempted entry of dial mode at any other display station is
inhibited and the Operator Communication Check indicator is displayed.

When in dial mode, the DISC key on other terminals operates normally.
Dial mode operations are shown in Figure 8-1.
Pressing the CLEAR key whi!e in dial mode causes the input fields on the screen to be restored from the
previously stored values. Once there is no connection with a host application, no AID-generating
operation is attempted.
When the online test 0 (/0) is directed to a terminal in dial mode, dial mode is reset, call-ready mode is set,
the terminal enters test mode, and the test is executed.

8-1. Controller/Terminal Responses in Dial-In State

Data Ready
When the circuit is connected, the Incoming Call or Outgoing Call in Progress indicator is reset and the In
Use indicator is displayed in the operator information area.

Disconnection (SVC)
The DISC key is pressed whenever the operator wants to disconnect the circuit. If there are SNA sessions
active (bound), the 3174 may have been configured so that the first disconnect sequence results in the
display of the Operator Communication Check indicator. This serves as a reminder that there are sessions
active.
If the DISC key sequence is reinitiated with no intervening RESET key action, the 3174 initiate$ a
disconnection from the circuit by sending the appropriate Clear Request packet. If the RESET key is used
to reset the input-inhibited condition, the entire sequence is reset and the next DISC key operation is also
inhibited. DISC keys pressed when no sessions are act!ve initiate an immediate disconnection.
A configuration option ie provided that allows the DISC key to immediately initiate a disconnection
regardless of the status of the LU sessions.

3174 Models ~1R through ~2~ Maintenance Information

X.25 Feature

Also, any Clear Indication packet received by the 3174 initiates a circuit disconnection and causes the 3174
to send a Clear Confirmation packet. The cause and diagnostic codes from the Clear Indication packet are
displayed in the operator information area.
The disconnect-in-progress state is entered when the DISC key operation is accepted, when a QDISC
packet is received, or when the station is closed because of detected SNA-Ievel errors.
The Call Ready indicator replaces the Disconnect in Progress indicator when the line is successfully
disconnected. If not in dial mode, the screen is unchanged. If in dial mode, the dialing terminal's screen is
cleared and disconnect-in-progress state is entered. Sessions are reset if they exist, and all
session-related indicators, including Online, Ownership, System, and Wait are reset.
The In Use indicator is turned off when disconnection is completed. A new Call Request packet is required
to reestablish the connection.

Cause and Diagnostic Indicators
Cause and Diagnostic indicators are displayed in the operator information area to aid in user problem
determination for abnormal disconnection. They are displayed with the Call Ready indicator when cause
and/or diagnostic codes are received by or transmitted from the 3174 because of an error condition. They
are not displayed when the 3174 operator causes a normal disconnect via the DISC key function. Cause
and diagnostic codes are also displayed with the X.25 Communication Reminder indicator and indicate the
cause and diagnostic codes from a Restart/Reset/Clear packet transmitted or received from the 3174.
Note: These codes are CCITT-recommended and IBM-architected. However, these codes may not apply,
or be common, to all networks.

Incoming Call
Incoming Call Request packets are accepted in call-ready state, and the Incoming Call in Progress
indicator is displayed. This indicator is reset when the circuit is connected.

Local Mode
In local mode, incoming calls and all outgoing requests are rejected. The 3174 is disconnected from the
link.
The LOCAL key is accepted in the call-ready state and the Local Mode indicator is displayed on all the
display station screens.
The COMM key is pressed to reset local mode. The call-ready state is entered, and the link is initialized.

Exceptional Case Handling
The operator should take action as follows:
1. Call Ready indicator with C&D codes or X.25 Communication Reminder.
For a dial request, this indicator means the request has failed with the network reason specified by the
C&D codes. In all cases, the operator should consult the appropriate manual for a recommended
recovery action for each C&D code.
2. Communication Reminder indicator while in X.25 SVC mode.
An operator can retry the call, if appropriate, and can determine the state of the connection by the In
Use indicator. If the In Use indicator is not displayed, the COMM key can be used to reset the
Communication Reminder indicator. The X.25 keys that are allowed in a particular X.25 state (that is,
do not result in display of the Operator Communication Check indicator) reset the Communication

Reminder indicator. If the error persists, the problem determination manual procedures identified by
the particular status code should be followed. See the 3174 Status Codes.
3. Machine Check.
This means an error was detected in the 3174 subsystem. The same action as for the base 3174 should be
followed.
No unique machine-check numbers are generated.

Dial Mode Screen
Figure 8-5 shows the layout of the display screen when dial mode is entered. The screen displays the dial
number and the other facility control fields set to the defaults as selected during configuration (or as
overridden by the operator with a previous dial operation).
Any values that require change can be updated by the operator. When the screen contains the correct
values, the ENTER key is pressed to initiate appropriate action by the 3174.
A configuration option is provided either to display HNAD only or to display all fields shown below on the
dial screen. The default is to display HNAD only.
The cursor is initially positioned in the first character location of the HNAD input field.

Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC)
PVC Indicators
An additional indicator is required to convey the network or 3174-supplied cause and diagnostic codes that
accompany reset or restart packets. These codes provide the reason for the link's being closed. This
indicator is called the X.25 Communication Reminder. When a PVC circuit has been connected, the In Use
indicator is displayed in the operator information area.
Note: The operator information area cause codes and diagnostic codes are described under "X.25 Cause
and Diagnostic Codes" on page 8-26.

PVC Keys
Only two of the keys defined earlier in this appendix, "X.25 SVC States and Key Operations," are provided
for PVC connections. They are the LOCAL and COMM keys. Optionally, the function of these keys may be
deleted from the 3174 via configuration.

LOCAL Key
The LOCAL key allows a display operator to disconnect the 3174 from the X.25 link. When the LOCAL key is
pressed, the 3174 determines whether any SNA sessions are active. The 3174 may have been configured
so that, if there are no sessions active, the 3174 will immediately initiate a close-link sequence. If there are
SNA sessions active, the Operator Communication Check and Input Inhibited indicators are displayed. If
the LOCAL key is pressed a second time without the RESET key being pressed, the close-link sequence is
initiated. If the RESET key is pressed to restore the keyboard, two consecutive LOCAL key sequences are
required. A configuration option is provided that allows the first pressing of the LOCAL key always to
perform the close-link sequence. The initiation of a close-link sequence displays the Local indicator.

COMM Key
Pressing the COMM key when in local mode causes the 3174 to display status code 506 (may be displayed
for only a split second and not be seen by the operator) and try to reopen the link and circuit. When not in
local mode, the COMM key is ignored.

21 Feature
1
The Type 2 Communication and Concurrent Communication Adapter in the 3174 Establishment Controller
enable the 3174 to be attached to a OCE that operates as specified in CCITT Recommendation X.21 at
speeds of 2400, 4800, 9600, 48 000, and 64 OOObps.
To use the X.21 Switched feature, the 3174 must have either a 3278,3279, or similar display station
attached.

X.21 Functional Description
The 3174 supports the following X.21 functions:
• SOLC microcode to support X.21 Switched protocol
• Data link control, which is an interface to the SOLC microcode
• X.21 Switched adapter (Type 2 Communication Adapter).
The data link control issues function requests to the microcode and handles completion codes from the
microcode. Figure C-1 on page C-3 outlines the data link control function.

X.21 Feature

X.21 Switched Microcode Function
Function Requests
1. OPEN for outgoing call.
By this request, the HPCA and the X.21 hardware are reset and enabled and, after passing through the
ready state, proceed with the outgoing call establishment.
The microcode signals the X.21 hardware to enter the call-request state and awaits the reception of an
IA5 plus (+) character from the network.
When the request contains selection signals, the microcode/X.21 hardware sends two IA5 sync
characters and the selection signals (including 'dial digits') that were set up by the data link control in
the selection signal buffer.
The X.21 hardware monitors the network interface; if 'call progress' signals and/or called line
identification are received, they are passed on to the microcode. After translation, the microcode will
pass the first 'call progress' signal (normally two digits) or line 10 to the data link control's buffer and
posts an intermediate completion status.
When the microcode detects that the network is ready for data, the microcode will enter the
data-transfer phase after housekeeping and preparing the X.21 hardware and microcode to receive the
first SDLC frame. The data link control is notified that the Open is completed.
The process is similar when outgoing call is direct. A direct call by the data link control identifies a
direct call by specifying no dial digits. When the IA5 plus (+) character is received, signifying select
from the network, the microcode enters the DTE waiting state for the reception of 'call progress'
signals, called line identification, or the indication that the network is ready for data.
2. OPEN for incoming call.
When the data link control issues the X.21 Open function request for an incoming call, the action of the
microcode/X.21 hardware differs slightly from that for an outgoing call.
• The microcode/X.21 hardware determines that the network is ready, then enters the ready state to
wait for an interrupt from the X.21 hardware signifying activity on the network.
• Receipt of one IA5 BEL character identifies the incoming call state. The microcode posts an
intermediate completion status (BEL RCVD) and, when it regains control, prompts the X.21
hardware to turn on the control lead that signifies the call-accepted state.
• The microcode now waits for an interrupt to indicate either that the calling line identification has
been received or that the network is ready for data. If line identification is received, the microcode
moves it to the data link control's buffer, and the completion status is passed on in the same way
as for an outgoing call.
When the ready-for-data condition is detected, the data-transfer phase is entered after the microcode
completes appropriate housekeeping and prepares the X.21 hardware for the first SDLC frame. A
normal completion to the Open function request is posted by the microcode.
3. OPEN for monitori ng
The microcode checks the X.21 interface periodically. If the DCE's status coincides with the condition
specified by the data link control, that is, DCE ready or DCE not ready,the microcode reports normal
completion.

C-4

3174 Models 81 R through 92R Maintenance Information

X.21 Feature

4. CLOSE
If the clearing sequence is already completed, the microcode merely executes the final housekeeping
requirements; otherwise, the microcode starts a clearing sequence. When the clearing sequence ends
properly, and no comparator error is indicated by the X.21 hardware, a normal completion is posted.
When the clearing sequence does not end properly within its time limit, or if a comparator error exists,
appropriate error status is posted. The HPCA and the X.21 hardware are always reset prior to posting
any completion code to the Close FA. The microcode/X.21 hardware will be in the controlled not-ready
state when this FR ends.
5. HALT
The data link control aborts an Open function request by issuing a HALT request. The microcode
executes a clearing sequence to the network.

Call Collision
A call-collision condition can exist when a call request is made to the network at the same time the network
is making an incoming call. The network will resolve the collision in favor of the call request.
Note: The X.21 recommendation does not permit deliberate call collisions; that is, the DTE entering the
call-request state after becoming aware of the incoming-call state.
Therefore, the data link control avoids deliberate situations by issuing the proper sequence of
function requests; for example, by issuing a HALT request to the Open for Incoming request before
issuing the Open for Outgoing request.

Call Progress (CP) Signals
The only time the microcode is affected by a particular 'call progress' (CP) signal is if the first digit of a
.
received CP signal is an IA5 0, 2, or 6.
The IA5 0 identifies the call-wait class (terminal called or waiting connection). The action of the microcode
upon detecting the (IA5 0) is to initiate a 60-second timeout, instead of the 2-second timeout, while waiting
for the network to become ready for data. Upon detecting the IA5 2 or 6 (short-term condition when
clearing), the microcode prepares for the retry by initiating a clearing sequence. CP signals already
received will be moved to the data link control's buffer.
When reacting to an IA5 "0" CP, the microcode will post the intermediate completion status, indicating that
CP signals are available in the buffer. When reacting to the IA5 "2" or "6" CP, the retry intermediate status
is posted, indicating the retry is due to receipt of a retry type CP signal.

Data Link Control Function
Call Ready
The Call Ready indicator is displayed in the operator information area of the 3278 or 3279, and the use of
either the DIAL key or the LOCAL key is accepted, as is an incoming call.
This state is the X.21 ready state and is entered by the Open for Incoming request to the microcode under
the following conditions:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

Immediately after the 3174 is powered on by the uncontrolled-not-ready state.
When the COMM key is pressed while operating in the local mode.
When the dial-in mode is ended by the DISC key.
After the line is disconnected normally by the DISC key on the DISC command.
When the Open Outgoing request is rejected by CP signals.
After the line is disconnected by an error, or after the X.21 open request is completed erroneously,
except if condition 7 exists. The Call Ready indicator, however, is overridden by the communication
error reminder. This reminder can be reset by the COMM key, and the Call Ready indicator will
appear.
7. If the DCE is not ready, the communication error reminder is display.ed, and the Open Monitor request
is issued. When this request is completed, the Call Ready indicator is displayed in the operator
information area.

Incoming Call in Progress
When an incoming call comes to the 3174 while in the X.21 ready state, the microcode returns the
intermediate completion code with 'BEL RCVD'. The data link control displays the Incoming Call in
Progress indicator and returns control to the microcode. When the Ready for Data is sent from the DCE,
the microcode returns a normal completion code. The data link control turns off the Incoming Call in
Progress indicator, turns on the In Use indicator, and prepares for normal data exchange.

Dialing
When the DIAL key is pressed in the call-ready ·state, the data link control issues the HALT request to the
microcode to inhibit an incoming call, clears the screen, and puts the cursor at the home position. The
Wait indicator is displayed until the HALT request is completed. Then the Dial In indicator is displayed.
The operator enters dial digits, or any facility request allowed by the network, and presses the ENTER key.
The data link control issues an Open for Outgoing request to the microcode with parameters that include
selection signals entered by the operator, and displays the Outgoing Call in Progress indicator.

Direct Call
When the DIRECT key is pressed in the call-ready state, the data link control issues the HALT request and
the Open for Outgoing request, with no selection signal, and displays the Outgoing Call in Progress
indicator.

Outgoing Call in Progress
The microcode processes the Open-for-Outgoing request, as described under "X.21 Switched Microcode
Function" on page C-4, and returns a normal completion code to the data link control when the X.21 'ready
for data' signal is sent from the DCE. The data link control turns off the Outgoing Call in Progress indicator,
turns on the In Use indicator, and prepares for normal data exchange.

Local Mode
When the LOCAL key is pressed in the call-ready state, the data link control issues the HALT request and
displays the Local Mode indicator.
The local mode is the X.21 controlled-not-ready state and inhibits incoming and outgoing calls.
When the COMM key is pressed in local mode, the data link control issues an Open for Incoming request to
the microcode and displays the Call Ready indicator.

Disconnection
When the DISC key is pressed in the ready-for-data state or outgoinglincoming call-in-progress state, the
data Ii nk control issues a CLOSE request in the ready-for-data state, or issues a HALT request in the
outgoinglincoming call in progress state to the microcode, and displays the Disconnect in Progress
indicator. When the close completion code is returned from the microcode, the data link control turns off
the In Use indicator. The data link control issues an Open for Incoming request to the microcode, enters the
call ready state, and displays the Call Ready indicator. When the halt-completion code is returned, the data
link control issues an Open for Incoming request to the microcode, enters the call-ready state, and displays
the Call-Ready indicator.
The line is also disconnected automatically by a timeout condition or by the SDLC DISC command.

Call Progress Signal Code
The 'call progress' (CP) signal is sent by the network to advise a calling terminal/host about the progress of
a call or about the circumstances that have prevented a connection from being established. It is
transmitted by the network after receiving end-of-dialing and is not repeated. The 'call progress' codes and
meanings are shown in Table C-1.
