In the Comparison Column Entry
Descriptions, we have briefly defined
the specification categories used in
the columns. Separate sections explain the entries for Protocol Conversion Systems/Terminal
Controllers and Code, Speed, Interface, and Async/Sync Converters.
In addition to the lines allocated for
vendors to indicate specified information for their models, we have
added space at the bottom of the columns for vendor notations about
options or special features.
The absence of any company or
product from these columns means
that the company either failed to respond to our requests for information or declined to be part of the
survey.
The accompanying text briefly describes the entries in the order in
which they appear. We have organized the comparison columns into
broad categories: Protocol Conversion Systems/Terminal Controllers
and Code, Speed, Interface, and
Async/Sync Converters.
Vendors of these products furnished
the information. When a vendor did
not provide information for a specific entry and we could not locate
that information in our files, we
listed "Vendor did not specify."
Datapro wishes to thank the vendors
for their cooperation.

Conversion Systems/
Terminal Controllers
Comparison Column
Entry Descriptions
For the reader's convenience, we have organized the comparison
columns into two broad
categories:
Conversion Systems/
Terminal Controllers can
include protocol converters, terminal emulators,
remote cluster controllers, and terminal controllers. Basically, devices in
this section provide conversion from one protocol
to another and/or allow
one device (such as an
asynchronous display terminal) to act as another
type of device (such as an
IBM 3270 display terminal) in a network.
The following text briefly
describes the column entries in the order in which
they appear in the columns.
Conversion Systems/
Terminal Controllers
Model. Listed here is the
exact model number or
name of each device.
Device Type. This entry
specifies if the device is a
protocol converter, terminal emulator, code converter, or interface
converter.
Conversion Performed.
All converters perform
some type oftranslation
from one code, speed, or
protocol to another. The
most common conversion
is asynchronous ASCII to
IBM SNA/SDLC or BSC,
but a number of other
translations occur on the
units represented in the
columns.
Specific Device Emulated. In many cases,
conversion devices provide the means to convert
the text format of one
type of device into the
characteristics and format
of another. This translation, called emulation, is
indicated, if available.
Most protocol converters
also support device emulation.
Specific Functionality
Provided. Most converters allow one device to be
used as another type of
device in the network. For
example, a number of
units allow asynchronous
displays to be used as
IBM 3278 Model 2 displays.
Virtual Screen Sizes Supported (char.). For a device to provide emulation,
it must support the screen
size, in characters, of the
emulated device. For example, a device emulating
an IBM 3270 terminal
must support a 1,920character screen.
Command Port Supported. Some converters
support a port through
which users can select
operating parameters and
monitor, diagnose, and
control the network. A
"yes" answer indicates
that the device has a command port.
Host·Side
Specifications
Specific Hosts Sup·
ported. Conversion devices generally support
IBM or compatible hosts,
asynchronous hosts such
as Digital's VAX, or both.
In this entry, vendors list
the name of the computer(s) with which the con- .
verter operates.
Host Operating Systems
Supported. In this entry,
vendors indicate the operating system from a
choice of DOS/VS, as/
VS, RSTS/E or VAX VMS,
or Other.
Number of Host Selections Supported Concurrently. If a converter
supports more than one
host line, the device can
support both connected
hosts concurrently, or
separately through a
switch selection.
Connections Supported.
Conversion devices support direct connections
and multipoint and/or
point-to-point connections. Most converters
support more than one
type of connection, and
many support all three.
Connection to Host via
Controller. Some conversion devices emulate a
controller, but others
must connect to a controller in the network. If applicable, vendors specified
the type of controller to
which the converter interfaces.
Transmission
Specifications/Host
Line
Maximum Transmission
Speed (bps). This entry,
stated in bits per second,
indicates the maximum
speed of operation or
data rate supported by
the device.
Synchronization. This
entry refers to the time
relationship among the
bits comprising the characters that make up the
messages. Conversion
devices handle data in
spurts (asynchronous) or
continuous streams (synchronous).
Transmission Mode.
Most converters operate
in either half- or fullduplex mode or both.
Half-duplex mode supports data transmission in
either direction, but not
simultaneously. In fullduplex operation, the data
is simultaneously transmitted and received over
a common communications facility. Simplex
mode permits unidirectional data transmission,
whereby data is either
transmitted or received.
Protocols Supported.
There are two basic types

of protocols: byte oriented (IBM's BSC or Digital's DDCMP) or bit
oriented (IBM SNA/SDLC
or ISO HDLC). Converters
usually translate one protocol to another and thus
support different protocols on the terminal and
host sides.
supports asynchronous
ports that accommodate a
large variety of asynchronous printers, terminals,
and personal computers.
Many converters also
support a dynamic printer
port. Devices represented
in the columns support
from one to many input
devices.
Codes Supported. The
most common codes are
ASCII, used in the asynchronous protocol, and
EBCDIC, the usual code
generated by synchronous devices.
f
Interface. Interface is the
electrical connection between components. Most
communications devices
provide an electrical interface (RS-232-C) in accordance with the standards
established by the Electronics Industries Association (EIA). Several other
interface standards exist,
notably CCITT Recommendations V.24 and
V.28.
Clocking. The repetitive,
regularly timed signals
controlling synchronous
transmissions, clocking
can be set internally by
the device itself or externally by another device or
be derived from the
datastream.
Specific Devices Supported. Most conversion
devices designed for
asynchronous-to-IBM
SDLC or BSC conversion
support virtually any
asynchronous device.
Some converters, however, are designed for
operation only with a specific terminal. An answer
of "virtually any device"
means that the vendor's
list of supported terminals
was too long to fit into the
assigned I?pace, but the
converter did support all
major asynchronous display terminals and/or personal computers available
in today's market.
Connections Supported.
The options offered to
vendors in this entry are
Direct, Dial-Up, Remote,
Leased, and Other.

Transmission
Specifications/
Terminal Line
Maximum Transmission
Speed (bps). This entry
refers to the highest
possible rate of speed at
which data can be sent.
Maximum Aggregate
Input Rate (bps).
Conversion devices
generally support many
input ports, each
operating at several
different speeds, e.g.,
from 50 to 9600 bps.
Aggregate input refers to
the maximum data rate
accepted from all
channels simultaneously.
For example, if there are
four channels operating at
a maximum 9600 bps rate
per channel, the
aggregate input rate
could be four times 9600,
or 38.4K bps.
Synchronization. Vendors
indicate asynchronous or
synchronous here.
Transmission Mode.
Vendors note if the mode
is half or full duplex.
Protocols Supported. The
choices offered to
vendors are TTY II, BSC,
and Other.
Codes Supported.
Vendors indicate if their
products support ASCII or
EBCDIC.
Diagnostics
Many conversion devictYS
perform tests that check
the device and the line
connections. Most converters conduct a self-test
of internal circuitry upon
power-up and provide
front-panel LEDs to monitor system status.
Pricing and
Availability
Purchase ($). Vendors
provide the base price of
the unit, excluding options, here.
Serviced by. Usually, the
vendor offers service on
an on-site or factory
repair/return basis. In
some cases, a third party
provides service.
Availability (Days ARO).
Here we list the current
lead time on orders, given
in days after receipt of
order (ARO).
Date of First Commercial
Delivery. This entry indicates the actual date on
which the vendor delivered the product to the
marketplace.
Comments
In this section, vendors
list options and unique
capabilities of their products.
Interfaces Supported.
The choices offered to
vendors are RS-232-C,
RS-449, and Other.

In the Comparison Column Entry
Descriptions, we have briefly defined
the stub entries used in the columns.
Separate sections explain the entries
for Protocol Conversion Systems/
Terminal Controllers and Code,
Speed, and Interface Converters.
Vendors of these products furnished
the information. When a vendor did
not provide information for a specific entry and we could not locate
that information in our files, we
listed "Vendor did not specify."
Datapro wishes to thank the vendors
for their cooperation.
In addition to the lines allocated for
vendors to indicate specified information for their models, we have
added space at the bottom of the columns for vendor notations about
options or special features.
The absence of any company or

Conversion Systems/
Terminal Controller
Comparison Column
Entry Descriptions
For the reader's convenience, we have organized the comparison
columns into two broad
categories:
Conversion Systems/
Terminal Controllers can
include protocol converters, terminal emulators,
remote cluster controllers, and terminal controllers. Basically, devices in
this section provide conversion from one protocol
to another and/or allow
one device, e.g., an asynchronous ASCII terminal,
to act as another type of
device, e.g., an IBM 3270
terminal, in a network.
The following text briefly
describes the column entries in the order in which
they appear in the columns.
Conversion Systems/
Terminal Controllers
Product Name. Listed
here is the exact model
number or name of each
device.
Device Type. This entry
specifies if the device is a
protocol converter, terminal emulator, code, or interface converter.
Conversion Performed.
All converters perform
some type of translation
from one code, speed, or
protocol to another. The
most common conversion
is asynchronous ASCII to
IBM SNA/SDLC or BSC,
but a number of other
MARCH 1990
translations occur on the
units represented in the
columns.
Specific Device Emulated. In many cases,
conversion devices provide the means to convert
the text format of one
type of device into the
characteristics and format
of another. This translation, called emulation, is
indicated, if available.
Most protocol converters
also support device emulation.
Specific Functionality
Provided. Most converters allow one device to be
used as another type of
device in the network. For
example, a number of
units allow asynchronous
ASCII CRTs to be used as
IBM 3277 Models 1 and 2.
Virtual Screen Sizes Supported. For a device to
provide emulation, it must
support the screen size in
characters of the emulated device. For exampie, a device emulating an
IBM 3270 terminal must
support a 1,920-character
screen.
Command Port Support.
Some converters support
a port through which users can se.lect operating
parameters and monitor,
diagnose, and control the
network. A "yes" answer
indicates that the device
has a command port.
Host Side
Specifications
Specific Hosts Supported. Conversion devices generally support
IBM or compatible hosts
or asynchronous hosts
such as Digital's VAX. In
this entry, vendors listed
the name of the computer
with which the converter
operates.
Host Operating Systems
Supported. In this entry,
vendors indicated the operating system from a
choice of DOS/VS, as/
VS, RSTS/E or VAX VMS,
or Other.
Number of Host Selections Supported Concurrently. If a converter
supports more than one
host line, the device can
support both connected
hosts concurrently, or
separately through a
switch selection.
Connectors Supported.
Conversion devices support direct connections,
multipoint, and/or pointto-point connections.
Most converters support
more than one type of
connection, and most
support all three.
Connection to Host via
Controller. Some conversion devices emulate a
controller, but others
must connect to a controller in the network. If applicable, vendors specified
the type of controller to
which the converter interfaces.
Transmission
Specifications/Host
Line
Maximum Transmission
in (bps). This entry, stated
in bits per second, indicates the maximum speed
of operation or data rate
supported by the device.
Synchronization. This
entry refers to the time
relationship among the
bits comprising the characters that make up the
messages. Conversion
devices handle data in
spurts (asynchronous) or
contin·uous streams (synchronous).
Transmission Mode.
Most converters operate
in either half- or fullduplex mode or both.
Half-duplex mode supports data transmission in
either direction, but not
simultaneously. In fullduplex operation, the data
is simultaneously transmitted and received over
a common communications facility. Simplex
mode permits unidirectional data transmission,
whereby data is either
transmitted or received.
Protocols Supported.
There are two basic types
of protocols: byteoriented (IBM's BSC or
Digital's DDCMP) or bitoriented (IBM SNA/SDLC
or ISO HDLC). Converters
usually translate one protocol to another and thus
support different protocols on the terminal and
host sides.
Codes Supported. The
most common codes are
ASCII,used in the asynchronous protocol; and
EBCDIC, the usual code
generated by synchronous devices.
Interface. Interface is the
electrical connection between components. Most
communications devices
provide an electrical interface (RS-232-C) in accordance with the standards

Protocol Conversion
Systems
(
established by the Electronics Industries Association (EIA). Several other
interface standards exist,
notably CCITT Recommendations V.24 and
V.28.
Ctocking. The repetitive,
regularly-timed signals
controlling synchronous
transmissions, clocking
can be set internally by
the device itself or externally by another device, or
be derived from the
datastream.
Terminal Side
Specifications/
Terminal Line
Number of Type of Ports
Provided. In general, a
conversion device supports asynchronous ports
that accommodate a large
variety of asynchronous
ASCII printers, terminals,
and personal computers.
Many converters also
support a dynamic printer
port. Devices represented
in the columns support
from one to many input
devices.
Specific Devices Supported. Most conversion
devices designed for
asynchronous ASCII to
IBM SDLC or BSC conversion support virtually
any asynchronous ASCII
device. Some converters,
however, are designed for
operation only with a specific terminal. An answer
of "virtually any device"
means that the vendor's
list of supported terminals
was too long to fit into the
assigned space, but the
converter did support all
major asynchronous
ASCII terminals and/or
personal computers available in today's market.
Connections Supported.
The options offered to
vendors in this entry were
direct, dial-up, remote,
leased, and other.
Maximum Transmission
Speed. This entry refers
to the highest possible
rate of speed at which
data can be sent.
Transmission
Specifications/
Terminal Line
Maximum Aggregate Input Rate (bps). Conversion devices generally
support many input ports,
each operating at several
different speeds, e.g.,
from 50 to 9600 bps. Aggregate input refers to the
maximum data rate accepted from all channels
simultaneously. For example, if there are four
channels operating at a
maximum 9600 bps rate
per channel, the aggregate input rate could be
four times 9600, or 38.4K
bps.

Synchronization. Vendors
indicated asynchronous
or synchronous.
Transmission Mode. Vendors noted if the mode is
half- or full-duplex.
Protocols Supported. The
choices offered to- vendors were TTY II, BSC,
and Other.
Codes Supported. Vendors indicated if their
products supported ASCII
or EBCDIC.
Interfaces Supported.
The choices offered to
vendors were RS-232-C,
RS-449, or Other.
Diagnostics
Many conversion devices
perform tests that check
the device and the line
connections. Most converters conduct a self-test
of internal circuitry upon
power-up and provide
front-panel LEOs to monitor system status.
Pricing and
Availability
Purchase. Vendors provided the base price of
the unit, excluding options.
Rental. This entry shows
the monthly charge for
leasing the unit from the
vendor or a third party.
charges a fee for installation. For the most part,
vendors design conversion devices for customer
installation.
Maintenance. Many vendors charge an annual fee
to service the unit and
provide ongoing maintenance.
Serviced by. Usually, the
vendor offers service on
an on-site or factory
repair/return basis. In
some cases, a third party
provides service.
Availability. Here we list
the current lead time on
orders, given in days after
receipt of order (ARO).
Date of First Commercial
Delivery. This entry indicates the actual date on
which the vendor delivered the product to the
marketplace.
Number Installed to Date.
Some vendors regard this
information as proprietary, but others give a
figure as of a certain date.
