Highlights

• Controller for up to 32 terminals consisting of display stations or printers
• Connection to System/3, S/360, S/370, 4300, 303x, 3081, 308x, 3090, 4300, 8100, 9370, and some other processors
• Local-attachment models via SNA or 3272
• Communication models for communicating in data half-duplex mode via half-duplex or duplex facilities

Description

The 3274 can communicate with a S/360, S/370, 30xx, 4300 or 9370 Processor by local channel attach or remotely via communications facilities. The channel-attached Control Unit is available in three model groups: Models 1A, 21A, 31A, 41A for SNA operation with extended data stream handling capabilities, Models 1B, 21B for 3272 operation, and Models 1D, 21D, 31D, 41D for 3272 operation with extended data stream handling capabilities. The Models 1C, 21C, 31C, 41C, 51C, 61C can operate with extended data stream handling capabilities as either a BSC 3271 or as an SNA/SDLC unit.

Models 51C and 61C can also attach via a Data Link to the 8100 Information System or to the 8100 or 4331/4361 via a direct- or data link-attached loop.

The flexibility of 3274s enables the user to configure a display sub-system for initial requirements, and later change hardware and functions to meet future needs. Function configurability is attained through Configuration Support options, via Feature and System Diskettes.

One Feature Diskette and two System Diskettes are shipped with each 3274.

For Models 31A, 31C, 31D, or 51C that are upgraded to Configuration Support D, a Language Diskette is also shipped.
An Encrypt/Decrypt Feature Diskette is also shipped with the Encrypt/Decrypt feature (#3680) on a 3274 Model 1C, 21C, 31C, 41C, 51C, or 61C. As part of the installation procedure, a customized System Diskette is generated. The generation process is accomplished by the customer keying in system configuration parameters. A unique configuration table is written on the System Diskette along with the necessary control code to accomplish the functions. For example, during subsequent control unit loading or initialization of a Model 1C, 21C, 31C, 41C, 51C, or 61C; BSC or SNA/SDLC mode of operation is determined by the configuration recorded on the System Diskette used. It is possible to create two different System Diskettes; one to be used for BSC operation and the other to be used when operating SNA/SDLC.

The control unit is initialized with control code and configuration parameters as a result of Power On or by pressing the IML pushbutton. The load occurs from an integrated diskette drive using the previously customized System Diskette. The loading process starts with the execution of extended tests contained on the diskette.

The character set to be used on attached terminals is specified on the customized IML Diskette during installation procedure. All attached terminals must have the same character set.

Either EBCDIC or ASCII can be selected during 3274 Model 1C, 21C, 31C, 41C, 51C, or 61C customization. ASCII support is provided to correspond with transmission code that is used by S/3. Both ASCII transmission codes and ASCII data codes are supported in BSC. Only ASCII alphameric data bytes of Function Management Request/Response Units are supported in SNA/SDLC. SCS, APL/Text, and the 3270 data stream extensions included in the Structured Field and Attribute Processing (SFAP) customization option are not supported in either BSC or SNA/SDLC when ASCII is used.

Detailed information for initial customizing, for customizing made necessary by changing configurations, and for optionally updating the diskettes, is contained in the "IBM 3270 Information Display System, GA27-2827; IBM 3274 Control Unit Planning, Setup and Customizing Guide", GA23-0065.

Use the following procedure to determine which, if any, EFS features must be ordered on the Model 1A:

1. Select the Configuration Support option which contains the functions desired. If T is selected, go directly to Table 2, line 6, for EFS feature codes needed, otherwise continue to Step #2.
2. After determining the desired Configuration Support, refer to the appropriate part of Table 1 and select the features desired:
• 3274 Model 1A, refer to Table 1, Part 1.
3. Determine the total Type C and total Type D storage required for the features and functions selected in Step #2.
4. Add the Type C and Type D totals to determine the total control storage required. If the total is equal to or less than 65,536, no EFS features are required. If the total is greater than 65,536, continue with Step #5.
5. Refer to Table 2. For Configuration Support A or B, begin at line 1 and work down. For C, begin at line 4 and work down. Stop at the first line that satisfies the control storage requirements determined in Steps 3 and 4. Order the EFS features listed in the last column.

1. Configuration Support A Consideration Only: If all three keyboard types (Typewriter, Data Entry and Data Entry-Keypunch-like) are required on display stations attached to the 3274, add 1000 to the Type D storage requirements in addition to that listed in the table.
2. If the total Type D storage requirement calculated for Category A, plus Category B terminals, exceeds the applicable maximum storage value listed below, use the applicable maximum value.

                    Maximum
Unit              Storage Value
3274-1A              10,744

3. There is no customizing option nor additional control storage required to support 10 Numeric-only Character Set for Operator Identification Card Reader (#4600) on 3277s (Category B terminals) which are attached to a 3274.
4. Add the indicated amount for each keyboard type to be used.
5. The SFAP function is also required when the SCS Support for SFAP (#9661) feature is to be used on 3287 Models 1, 2, 1C or 2C.
6. SCS Printer Support is required for DCA-LV2 Word Processing applications. This support also required for 5210 Models G01 or G02, attached to 3274 Models 1A and 1C SNA for applications that utilize the cut sheet feed attachment feature (#7860) when operating with 2 drawers.
7. Configuration Support C (#9112) is required for 5210 Models G01, G02 attached to 3274 Models 1A SNA for support of Word Processing applications. This includes those applications which utilize the cut sheet feed attachment feature (#7860) when operating with 2 drawers.
8. The SFAP function is also required when the Query function is used with 3262 Models 3 and 13, 3268 Model 2, (and 4214 Model 1 in EMEA) printers. The Query function allows the application to interrogate the printer to determine what function is supported.
9. For 4250 attachment to 3274 Models 1A, the SFAP function is required plus support for one Extended Attribute Terminal for each 4250 attached.
10. SCS printer support required for 4250 attachment.
11. A Displaywriter System requires two terminal ports when it includes a printer.
12. Limitations: This function does NOT support ASCII unless RPQ 8K1037 is installed.

Use the following procedure to determine which, if any, EFS features must be ordered on the Model 1A, 1C or 1D:

1. Select the Configuration Support option which contains the functions desired. If T is selected, go directly to Table 2, line 6, for EFS feature codes needed, otherwise continue to Step #2.
2. After determining the desired Configuration Support, refer to the appropriate part of Table 1 and select the features desired:
• 3274 Model 1C/SNA, refer to Table 1, Part 2.
• 3274 Model 1C/BSC, refer to Table 1, Part 3.
3. Determine the total Type C and total Type D storage required for the features and functions selected in Step #2.
4. Add the Type C and Type D totals to determine the total control storage required. If the total is equal to or less than 65,536, no EFS features are required. If the total is greater than 65,536, continue with Step #5.
5. Refer to Table 2. For Configuration Support A or B, begin at line 1 and work down. For C, begin at line 4 and work down. Stop at the first line that satisfies the control storage requirements determined in Steps 3 and 4. Order the EFS features listed in the last column.

1. Configuration Support A Consideration Only: If all three keyboard types (Typewriter, Data Entry and Data Entry-Keypunch-like) are required on display stations attached to the 3274, add 1000 to the Type D storage requirements in addition to that listed in the table.
2. If the total Type D storage requirement calculated for Category A, plus Category B terminals, exceeds the applicable maximum storage value listed below, use the applicable maximum value.

                    Maximum
Unit              Storage Value
3274-1C/SNA          10,744
3274-1C/BSC           6,844

3. There is no customizing option nor additional control storage required to support 10 Numeric-only Character Set for Operator Identification Card Reader (#4600) on 3277s (Category B terminals) which are attached to a 3274.
4. Add the indicated amount for each keyboard type to be used.
5. The SFAP function is also required when the SCS Support for SFAP (#9661) feature is to be used on 3287 Models 1, 2, 1C or 2C.
6. SCS Printer Support is required for DCA-LV2 Word Processing applications. This support also required for 5210 Models G01 or G02, attached to 3274 Models 1C SNA for applications that utilize the cut sheet feed attachment feature (#7860) when operating with 2 drawers.
7. Configuration Support C (#9112) is required for 5210 Models G01, G02 attached to 3274 Models 1C SNA for support of Word Processing applications. This includes those applications which utilize the cut sheet feed attachment feature (#7860) when operating with 2 drawers.
8. The SFAP function is also required when the Query function is used with 3262 Models 3 and 13, 3268 Model 2, (and 4214 Model 1 in EMEA) printers. The Query function allows the application to interrogate the printer to determine what function is supported.
9. SCS printer support required for 4250 attachment.
10. A Displaywriter System requires two terminal ports when it includes a printer.
11. Limitations: This function does NOT support ASCII unless RPQ 8K1037 is installed.

For many 3274 Model 1C systems, response time is limited by transmission line speeds. For these cases, applicable line speed upgrades can be translated into immediate response time improvements. However, performance is also data stream-dependent. Refer to IBM Aids for performance evaluation information.

Communications Facilities

The 3274 Model 1C operates in half-duplex point-to-point or multipoint mode on half-duplex or duplex facilities at transmission speeds of 2000 (US and Canada only), 2400, 4800, 7200 and 9600 bps on nonswitched facilities. See 2700 pages for facilities. For the UK, see the "RPQ Manual", Section 7.

Multipoint and point-to-point communications at speeds up to 56K bps are also possible where facilities are available. In addition, communications through a 3705, or to the 4331 Communications Adapter can be via direct connection (without modems or communications facilities) at speeds up to 57.6K bps. All communications at speeds greater than 9600 bps must use SDLC. See 3705 and 4331 pages for details.

Communications Adapters

Communications adapters handle the transmission control protocols (SDLC and BSC) for the 3274 Model 1C.

Communications Interfaces

Communications interfaces connect the 3274 Model 1C to the host link. One and only one, can be selected.

Modems

Unless the 3274 Model 1C will be directly attached to its host, an external modem with its own clocking is required when the External Modem Interface (#3701) or CCITT V.35 Interface (#1550) feature is installed.

Direct Connection Attachment

In addition to host attachment via modems or other data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE), attachment can be made by direct connect, without the need for intervening DCE. The direct connect is made by using either the External Modem Interface (#3701) or the V.35 Interface (#1550), the corresponding host interface feature(s), and a connecting cable. Shown below are the hosts that provide direct connection attachment for the 3274. Only the basic features needed by the 3274 direct connect hosts are listed. These features may have prerequisites, therefore the machine pages for those hosts should also be reviewed. Physical planning manuals for the respective direct connect hosts can provide additional information on the connecting cables.

Use the following procedure to determine which, if any, EFS features must be ordered on the Model 1D:

1. Select the Configuration Support option which contains the functions desired. If T is selected, go directly to Table 2, line 6, for EFS feature codes needed, otherwise continue to Step #2.
2. After determining the desired Configuration Support, refer to the appropriate part of Table 1 and select the features desired:
• 3274 Model 1D, refer to Table 1, Part 4.
3. Determine the total Type C and total Type D storage required for the features and functions selected in Step #2.
4. Add the Type C and Type D totals to determine the total control storage required. If the total is equal to or less than 65,536, no EFS features are required. If the total is greater than 65,536, continue with Step #5.
5. Refer to Table 2. For Configuration Support A or B, begin at line 1 and work down. For C, begin at line 4 and work down. Stop at the first line that satisfies the control storage requirements determined in Steps 3 and 4. Order the EFS features listed in the last column.

1. Configuration Support A Consideration Only: If all three keyboard types (Typewriter, Data Entry and Data Entry-Keypunch-like) are required on display stations attached to the 3274, add 1000 to the Type D storage requirements in addition to that listed in the table.
2. If the total Type D storage requirement calculated for Category A, plus Category B terminals, exceeds the applicable maximum storage value listed below, use the applicable maximum value.

                    Maximum
Unit              Storage Value
3274-1D               8,844

3. There is no customizing option nor additional control storage required to support 10 Numeric-only Character Set for Operator Identification Card Reader (#4600) on 3277s (Category B terminals) which are attached to a 3274.
4. Add the indicated amount for each keyboard type to be used.
5. The SFAP function is also required when the SCS Support for SFAP (#9661) feature is to be used on 3287 Models 1, 2, 1C or 2C.
6. SCS Printer Support is required for DCA-LV2 Word Processing applications. This includes those applications which utilize the cut sheet feed attachment feature (#7860) when operating with 2 drawers.
7. The SFAP function is also required when the Query function is used with 3262 Models 3 and 13, 3268 Model 2, (and 4214 Model 1 in EMEA) printers. The Query function allows the application to interrogate the printer to determine what function is supported.
8. For 4250 attachment to 3274 Model 1D, the SFAP function is required plus support for one Extended Attribute Terminal for each 4250 attached.
9. SCS printer support required for 4250 attachment.
10. A Displaywriter System requires two terminal ports when it includes a printer.

Control Storage Requirement Tables (Models 21C)

After the desired "Special Features" have been selected, the control storage requirement must be determined by using the appropriate table below. Some combinations of functions and features may exceed the capacity of the control storage in the Models 21C without EFS.

1. Refer to the appropriate part of Table 1 and select the features desired:
• 3274 Model 21C/or 51C w/o EFS SNA, refer to Table 1, Part 2
• 3274 Model 21C/or 51C w/o EFS BSC, refer to Table 1, Part 3
2. Determine the total storage requirements for the features selected in Step #1.
3. If the total storage requirement calculated in Step #2 is equal to or less than 65,536, the Model 21 or 51C without EFS can be used. However, if step #2 storage requirement is greater than 65,536, the Model 21 Control Unit or Model 51C without EFS cannot be used and a Model 31 Control Unit or Model 51C with EFS is required.

1. Configuration Support A Consideration Only: If all three keyboard types (Typewriter, Data Entry, and Date Entry/Keypunch-like) are required on display stations attached to the 3274, add 1,000 to the storage requirements in addition to those listed in the table.
2. There is no customizing option nor additional control storage required to support 10 Numeric-only Character Set for Operator Identification Card Reader (#4600) on 3277s (Category B terminals) which are attached to a 3274.
3. If the total storage requirement calculated for Category A plus Category B Terminals exceeds the applicable maximum storage value below, use the applicable maximum storage:

                     Maximum
Unit                 Storage Value
3274 Model 21C/BSC     11,544

4. Add the indicated amount for each keyboard type to be used.
5. A 6580 requires two terminal ports when it includes a printer.

Terminal Attachment

Either RG-62A/U coaxial cable, IBM Cabling System media or specified telephone twisted-pair wire (IBM Cabling System Type 3 media) can be used for Category A device connections to the 3274. (3289 attaches with coaxial cable only.) Depending on the type of wire used, the distance between the 3274 and its attached terminals can be up to 1,500m (4,920 ft.); when a 3299 is used, the maximum distance can be up to 3,000m (9,840 ft.). The 3274 ports use BNC connectors and require a balun cable assembly to connect terminals via IBM Cabling System Types 1, 2, or 9 media. A balun assembly may also be required at the terminal. (Refer to the appropriate terminal pages.) The number of balun assemblies reduces the maximum allowable wire lengths as shown below.

3274 Category A Terminal Attachment Maximum Lengths:

---------------------------------------

Category B devices can be driven a maximum of 610m (2,000 ft.) using RG-62A/U coaxial cable or 152m (500 ft.) using IBM Cabling System Type 1 or Type 2 media. (3284, 3286, and 3288 attach with coaxial cable only.)

Communications

The 3274 Model 21C communicates by BSC in data half-duplex mode with a System/3 over duplex or half-duplex communications facilities as follows:

• System/3 Model 4 via BSCA
• System/3 Model 8 via ICA or BSCA
• System/3 Model 10 via BSCA or LCA
• System/3 Model 12 via ICA or BSCA
• System/3 Model 15 via BSCA or LCA
• System/3 Model 15D via BSCA, BSCC, or LCA

The 3274 Model 21C operates over data half-duplex mode on point-to-point or multipoint half-duplex or duplex nonswitched facilities at transmission speeds of 2000, 2400, 4800, 7200, and 9600 bps. See 2700 pages for facilities.

The 3274 Model 21C communicates with a S/370, 4300 or 9370 Processor using SDLC over duplex or half-duplex communications facilities to a 3704, 3705, or 3725 or via the Communications Adapter on the 4321, 4331 or 9370 (SNA/SDLC), or by BSC to a S/360, S/370, 4300 or 9370 Processor, over duplex or half-duplex communications facilities via (where applicable) a 2701, 2703, or a 3704, 3705, 3725 (see Note 1), or the Communications Adapter on a 4321 or 4331 or via the Telecommunications Subsystem Controller on the 9370 Processor.

Communications with a S/370 Model 115, 125, 135, or 138 can also be via the Integrated Communications Adapter (#4640) and appropriate BSC features on a 3115, 3125, 3135, or 3138.

SDLC is used in the 3274-21C conforms as a subset (unbalanced normal mode) of both the ISO HDLC and ANSI ADCCP standards. For details of this conformance, see "General Information Manual - IBM Synchronous Data Link Control", GA27-3093.

A 3274 Model 21C can be used with X.25 communications facilities by using Configuration Support P (#9116), or by customization with Configuration Support D (#9124) (release level 63.1 or higher). Appropriate hardware features must be installed to support the Configuration Support option being used. See "X.25 Support" under "Control Storage Functions" and the Configuration Support P and D descriptions for details.

Note: The 3725 is not connectable to a S/360.

Performance

For many 3274 Model 21C systems, response time is limited by transmission line speeds. For these cases, applicable line speed upgrades can be translated into immediate response time improvements. However, performance is also data stream dependent. Refer to IBM Aids for performance evaluation information.

Communications Facilities

The 3274 Model 21C communicates with a 4341, 4361, 4381, 303X, 308X or 3090 processor using SDLC or BSC in half-duplex mode over duplex or half-duplex communication facilities to a 3720.

The 3274 Model 21C operates in half-duplex point-to-point multipoint mode on half-duplex or duplex facilities, using SDLC or BSC, at transmission speeds of (Canada only 2000) 2400/1200, 4800/2400, 7200/3600 and 9600/4800 bps on nonswitched facilities. See 2700 pages for facilities. For the UK, see the RPQ Manual, Section 7.

Multipoint and point-to-point communications at speeds up to 56K bps are also possible where facilities are available. In addition, communications through a 3705, or to the Local Attachment Interface #4801 on the 4331 or to an 8130/8140 Processor can be via direct connection without the need for communications facilities or modems. All communications at speeds greater than 9600 bps must use SDLC. See 3705, 4331, 8101, 8130 and 8140 pages for details.

Modems

Unless the 3274 Model 21C will be direct connected, an external Data Circuit-terminating Equipment (DCE) is required when the External Modem Interface (#3701) or CCITT V.35 Interface (#1550) or CCITT X.21 Interface (#5655 or #5656) is installed.

For use with the S/3, unless a Digital Data Service (DDS) Adapter #5650 or #5651 is installed or an external modem must be attached to the 3274 Model 21C, External modems require the External Modem Interface (#3701). No external modem is required when attached locally to S/3 through BSCA/EIA Local, BSCC/EIA Local, LCA or ICA; however, External Modem Interface (#3701) is required.

Direct Connection Attachment

In addition to host attachment via modems or other DCE, attachment can be made by direct connect, without the need for intervening DCE. The direct connect is made by using either the External Modem Interface (#3701) or the V.35 Interface (#1550), the corresponding host interface feature(s), and a connecting cable. Shown below are the hosts that provide direct connection attachment for the 3274. Only the basic features needed by the 3274 direct connect hosts are listed. These features may have prerequisites, therefore the machine pages for those hosts should also be reviewed. Physical planning manuals for the respective direct connect hosts can provide additional information on the connecting cables.

1. Refer to the appropriate part of Table 1 and select the features desired:
• 3274 Model 21D, refer to Table 1, Part 4
2. Determine the total storage requirements for the features selected in Step #1.
3. If the total storage requirement calculated in Step #2 is equal to or less than 65,536, the Model 21 or 51C without EFS can be used. However, if step #2 storage requirement is greater than 65,536, the Model 21 Control Unit or Model 51C without EFS cannot be used and a Model 31 Control Unit or Model 51C with EFS is required.

1. Configuration Support A Consideration Only: If all three keyboard types (Typewriter, Data Entry, and Date Entry/Keypunch-like) are required on display stations attached to the 3274, add 1,000 to the storage requirements in addition to those listed in the table.
2. There is no customizing option nor additional control storage required to support 10 Numeric-only Character Set for Operator Identification Card Reader (#4600) on 3277s (Category B terminals) which are attached to a 3274.
3. If the total storage requirement calculated for Category A plus Category B Terminals exceeds the applicable maximum storage value below, use the applicable maximum storage:

                     Maximum
Unit                 Storage Value
3274 Model 21D         13,144

4. Add the indicated amount for each keyboard type to be used.
5. A 6580 requires two terminal ports when it includes a printer.

Communications

The 3274 Model 31C communicates by BSC in data half-duplex mode with a System/3 over duplex or half-duplex communications facilities as follows:

• System/3 Model 4 via BSCA
• System/3 Model 8 via ICA or BSCA
• System/3 Model 10 via BSCA or LCA
• System/3 Model 12 via ICA or BSCA
• System/3 Model 15 via BSCA or LCA
• System/3 Model 15D via BSCA, BSCC, or LCA

The 3274 Model 31C operates over data half-duplex mode on point-to-point or multipoint half-duplex or duplex nonswitched facilities at transmission speeds of 2000, 2400, 4800, 7200, and 9600 bps. See 2700 pages for facilities.

The 3274 Model 31C communicates with a S/370, 4300 or 9370 Processor using SDLC over duplex or half-duplex communications facilities to a 3704, 3705, or 3725 or via the Communications Adapter on the 4321, 4331 or 9370 (SNA/SDLC), or by BSC to a S/360, S/370, 4300 or 9370 Processor, over duplex or half-duplex communications facilities via (where applicable) a 2701, 2703, or a 3704, 3705, 3725 (see Note 1), or the Communications Adapter on a 4321 or 4331 or via the Telecommunications Subsystem Controller on the 9370 Processor.

Communications with a S/370 Model 115, 125, 135, or 138 can also be via the Integrated Communications Adapter (#4640) and appropriate BSC features on a 3115, 3125, 3135, or 3138.

SDLC is used in the 3274-31C conforms as a subset (unbalanced normal mode) of both the ISO HDLC and ANSI ADCCP standards. For details of this conformance, see "General Information Manual - IBM Synchronous Data Link Control", GA27-3093.

A 3274 Model 31C can be used with X.25 communications facilities by using Configuration Support P (#9116), or by customization with Configuration Support D (#9124) (release level 63.1 or higher). Appropriate hardware features must be installed to support the Configuration Support option being used. See "X.25 Support" under "Control Storage Functions" and the Configuration Support P and D descriptions for details.

Note: The 3725 is not connectable to a S/360.

Performance

For many 3274 Model 31C systems, response time is limited by transmission line speeds. For these cases, applicable line speed upgrades can be translated into immediate response time improvements. However, performance is also data stream dependent. Refer to IBM Aids for performance evaluation information.

Communications Facilities

The 3274 Model 31C communicates with a 4341, 4361, 4381, 303X, 308X or 3090 processor using SDLC or BSC in half-duplex mode over duplex or half-duplex communication facilities to a 3720.

The 3274 Model 31C operates in half-duplex point-to-point multipoint mode on half-duplex or duplex facilities, using SDLC or BSC, at transmission speeds of (Canada only 2000) 2400/1200, 4800/2400, 7200/3600 and 9600/4800 bps on nonswitched facilities. For the UK, see the RPQ Manual, Section 7.

Multipoint and point-to-point communications at speeds up to 56K bps are also possible where facilities are available. In addition, communications through a 3705, or to the Local Attachment Interface #4801 on the 4331 or to an 8130/8140 Processor can be via direct connection without the need for communications facilities or modems. All communications at speeds greater than 9600 bps must use SDLC. See 3705, 4331, 8101, 8130 and 8140 pages for details.

Modems

Unless the 3274 Model 31C will be direct connected, an external Data Circuit-terminating Equipment (DCE) is required when the External Modem Interface (#3701) or CCITT V.35 Interface (#1550) or CCITT X.21 Interface (#5655 or #5656) is installed.

For use with the S/3, unless a Digital Data Service (DDS) Adapter #5650 or #5651 is installed or an external modem must be attached to the 3274 Model 31C. External modems require the External Modem Interface (#3701). No external modem is required when attached locally to S/3 through BSCA/EIA Local, BSCC/EIA Local, LCA or ICA; however, External Modem Interface (#3701) is required.

Direct Connection Attachment

In addition to host attachment via modems or other DCE, attachment can be made by direct connect, without the need for intervening DCE. The direct connect is made by using either the External Modem Interface (#3701) or the V.35 Interface (#1550), the corresponding host interface feature(s), and a connecting cable. Shown below are the hosts that provide direct connection attachment for the 3274. Only the basic features needed by the 3274 direct connect hosts are listed. These features may have prerequisites, therefore the machine pages for those hosts should also be reviewed. Physical planning manuals for the respective direct connect hosts can provide additional information on the connecting cables.

Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) Support: IPDS is a structured field approach to management and control of printer processes and is designed to allow the presentation of text, raster images, vector graphics, bar codes and previously stored overlays at any point on a page.

IPDS commands within the data stream enable the host processor to control and manage the downloading of fonts, symbol sets, and stored objects, such as overlays and page segments. The printer can later use these stored objects to construct a printed page. IPDS can significantly reduce the load on the host processor and the number of characters transmitted to the printer in many advanced printing applications. Prerequisites: Configuration Support D at release level 65. Printers capable of IPDS will be supported by both SNA (LU-1 only) and non-SNA control units. Under non-SNA, IPDS is carried encapsulated in the DSC (3270) data stream. IPDS depends on programming support outside of the 3274 Control Units.

X.25 Support: (Models 41C) This function, selectable during the customization of a 3274 Model 41C or 61C, provides for attachment to X.25 data transmission services having an interface which complies with Recommendation X.25 (Geneva 1980) of the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (CCITT). IBM conformance to this X.25 interface is defined in "IBM General Information Manual - The X.25 Interface for Attaching IBM SNA nodes to Packet-Switched Data Networks", GA27-3345. Keyboard labels on attached 3178s, 3278s or 3279s keyboards and display screen indicators are provided for operator reference during the calling, data exchange, and disconnecting phases. Although a 3290 cannot be used to establish X.25 operations, a 3290 can be used normally on a 3274 using X.25. See "X.25 Keyboard Labels" under "Accessories" for details on the labels required for selected keyboards on terminals connected to a 3274 attached to a X.25 communications facility. Limitations: Encrypt/Decrypt (#3680) is mutually exclusive with 3274 X.25 capability. The cryptographic feature cannot be used with X.25 operation. Prerequisites: (1) Configuration Support D at release level 63.1 or higher. (2) SNA/SDLC protocol. (3) Configuration Support D requires 256K of control storage (#3660) to support X.25. (4) One of the following Communications Interfaces: #3701, #5655 or #1550.

Note: The maximum line speed supported with any of these Communications Interface features is 9600 bps with X.25. The Communications Interface feature required depends upon the physical interface provided by the network. (5) #6303.

3274 Entry Assist This function provides capabilities which facilitate entry and editing of text material. The capabilities include margins, tabbing, word wrap, improved cursor positioning, improved character/word delete, cursor position indicator and an audible end-of-line warning tone. Entry Assist is intended for use primarily with a specific set of host editor programs.

Alert Function: This function, selectable during the customization of 3274 Models 41C/SNA, reports problem determination data to the host, for recording and display when NPDA Version 3 is installed in the host.

Response Time Monitor: This function, selectable during the customization of 3274 Models 41C, provides the capability for enhanced network management by accurately measuring transaction times. Response times are collected in up to four user-defined buckets. Response time end-definition is defined by the user and can be one of the following: First Character, Keyboard Usable, or Change Direction/End Bracket (SNA only). The response time information can be displayed at a user designated display station attached to the 3274. Prerequisites: #6101.

Keyboard Definition Utility: This pre-customizing option is available on 3274s with Configuration Support D release level 63 microcode. The utility is for modifying layouts of keyboards that are used on the 3179, 3180 Model 1, (and in the US 3191 Model A10, B10 A30, B30, D10, D30, L30, LZ0, and 3192 Model C10, C30, D10, D30, F10, FD0, F30, FF0, L10, L30); (and in all countries except US 3191 Model A1X, B1X, D1X, F1X); (and in AP, Canada, IBM LA A3X, B3X, D3X, F3X); (and in EMEA 3192 Model C1X, D1X, F1X, L1X; (and in all countries except US and EMEA 3192 Model C1X, C3X, D1X, D3X, L1X, L3X). The utility provides the capability to define the layout of up to four keyboard layouts. Prerequisites: None.

Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) Support: IPDS is a structured field approach to management and control of printer processes and is designed to allow the presentation of text, raster images, vector graphics, bar codes and previously stored overlays at any point on a page.

IPDS commands within the data stream enable the host processor to control and manage the downloading of fonts, symbol sets, and stored objects, such as overlays and page segments. The printer can later use these stored objects to construct a printed page. IPDS can significantly reduce the load on the host processor and the number of characters transmitted to the printer in many advanced printing applications. Prerequisites: Configuration Support D at release level 65. Printers capable of IPDS will be supported by both SNA (LU-1 only) and non-SNA control units. Under non-SNA, IPDS is carried encapsulated in the DSC (3270) data stream. IPDS depends on programming support outside of the 3274 Control Units.

Terminal Attachment

Either RG-62A/U coaxial cable, IBM Cabling System media or specified telephone twisted-pair wire (IBM Cabling System Type 3 media) can be used for Category A device connections to the 3274. (3289 attaches with coaxial cable only.) Depending on the type of wire used, the distance between the 3274 and its attached terminals can be up to 1,500m (4,920 ft.); when a 3299 is used, the maximum distance can be up to 3,000m (9,840 ft.). The 3274 ports use BNC connectors and require a balun cable assembly to connect terminals via IBM Cabling System Types 1, 2, or 9 media. A balun assembly may also be required at the terminal. (Refer to the appropriate terminal pages.) The number of balun assemblies reduces the maximum allowable wire lengths as shown below.

Communications

The 3274 Model 41C communicates by BSC in data half-duplex mode with a System/3 over duplex or half-duplex communications facilities as follows:

• System/3 Model 4 via BSCA
• System/3 Model 8 via ICA or BSCA
• System/3 Model 10 via BSCA or LCA
• System/3 Model 12 via ICA or BSCA
• System/3 Model 15 via BSCA or LCA
• System/3 Model 15D via BSCA, BSCC, or LCA

The 3274 Model 41C communicates with a S/370 or 4300 Processor using SDLC over duplex or half-duplex communications facilities to a 3704, 3705, or 3725 or via the Communications Adapter on the 4321/4331/4361 (SNA/SDLC), or by BSC to a S/360, S/370 or 4300 Processor, over duplex or half-duplex communications facilities via (where applicable) a 2701, 2703, or a 3704, 3705, 3725 (the 3725 is not connectable to the S/360), or the communications Adapter on a 4321 or 4331.

Communications with a S/370 Model 115, 125, 135, or 138 can also be via the Integrated Communications Adapter (#4640) and appropriate BSC features on a 3115, 3125, 3135, or 3138.

SDLC as used in the 3274 Model 41C conforms to a subset (unbalanced normal mode) of both the ISO HDLC and ANSI ADCCP standards. For details of this conformance, see "General Information Manual, IBM Synchronous Data Link Control", GA27-3093.

A 3274 Model 41C can be used with X.25 communications facilities by customization with Configuration Support D (release level 63.1 or higher). Appropriate hardware features must be installed to support Configuration Support D operation with X.25. See "X.25 Support" under "Control Storage Functions" and Configuration Support D description for details.

Performance

For many 3274 Model 41C systems, response time is limited by transmission line speeds. For these cases, applicable line speed upgrades can be translated into immediate response time improvements. However, performance is also data stream-dependent. Refer to IBM Aids for performance evaluation information.

Communications Facilities (System/3)

The 3274 Model 41C operates over data half-duplex mode on point-to-point or multipoint half-duplex or duplex nonswitched facilities at transmission speeds of 1200 (51C only), 2000, 2400, 4800, 7200, and 9600 bps. See 2700 pages for facilities.

Communications Facilities

The 3274 Model 41C operates in half-duplex point-to-point or multipoint mode on half-duplex or duplex facilities, using SDLC or BSC, at transmission speeds of 1200, (and 2000 in US and Canada), 2400/1200, 4800/2400, 7200/3600 and 9600/4800 bps on nonswitched facilities. For the UK, see the "RPQ Manual", Section 7.

Multipoint and point-to-point communications at speeds up to 56K bps are also possible where facilities are available. In addition, communications through a 3705, 3720, 3721, 3725, 3726 or to the Local Attachment Interface #4801 on the 4331 or to an 8130/8140 Processor can be via direct connection without the need for communications facilities or modems. All communications at speeds greater than 9600 bps must use SDLC. See 3705, 3720, 3721, 3725, 3726, 4331, 8101, 8130 and 8140 pages for details.

Modems

Unless the 3274 Model 41C will be direct connected, an external Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment (DCE) is required when the External Modem Interface (#3701) or CCITT V.35 Interface (#1550) or CCITT X.21 Interface (#5655 or #5656) is installed.

For use with the S/3, unless a Digital Data Service (DDS) Adapter #5650 or #5651 is installed, a 1200 bps integrated modem feature #5500 (51C only) or an external modem must be attached to the 3274 Model 41C. External modems require the External Modem Interface #3701. No external modem is required when attached locally to System/3 through BSCA/EIA Local, BSCC/EIA Local, LCA or ICA; however, External Modem Interface #3701 is required.

Direct Connection Attachment

In addition to host attachment via modems or other data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE), attachment can be made by direct connect, without the need for intervening DCE. The direct connect is made by using either the External Modem Interface (#3701) or the V.35 Interface (#1550), the corresponding host interface feature(s), and a connecting cable. Shown below are the hosts that provide direct connection attachment for the 3274. Only the basic features needed by the 3274 direct connect hosts are listed. These features may have prerequisites, therefore the machine pages for those hosts should also be reviewed. Physical planning manuals for the respective direct connect hosts can provide additional information on the connecting cables.

Control Storage Requirement Tables (Models 51C)

After the desired "Special Features" have been selected, the control storage requirement must be determined by using the appropriate table below. Some combinations of functions and features may exceed the capacity of the control storage in the Models 21A, 21C, 21D, and 51C without EFS. If the sum of the storage requirements is greater than 65,536, a Model 31 or 51C with EFS Control Unit is required. The Model 31s and 51C with EFS can run any combination of functions and features, except as noted under the "Special Consideration - Model 31A, 31C, and 51C/EFS" that follows after the tables.

1. Refer to the appropriate part of Table 1 and select the features desired:
• 3274 Model 51C w/o EFS SNA, refer to Table 1, Part 2
• 3274 Model 51C w/o EFS BSC, refer to Table 1, Part 3
2. Determine the total storage requirements for the features selected in Step #1.
3. If the total storage requirement calculated in Step #2 is equal to or less than 65,536, the Model 21 or 51C without EFS can be used. However, if step #2 storage requirement is greater than 65,536, the Model 21 Control Unit or Model 51C without EFS cannot be used and a Model 31 Control Unit or Model 51C with EFS is required.

1. Configuration Support A Consideration Only: If all three keyboard types (Typewriter, Data Entry, and Date Entry/Keypunch-like) are required on display stations attached to the 3274, add 1,000 to the storage requirements in addition to those listed in the table.
2. There is no customizing option nor additional control storage required to support 10 Numeric-only Character Set for Operator Identification Card Reader (#4600) on 3277s (Category B terminals) which are attached to a 3274.
3. Add the indicated amount for each keyboard type to be used.
4. A 6580 requires two terminal ports when it includes a printer.

Category B devices can be driven a maximum of 610m (2,000 ft.) using RG-62A/U coaxial cable or 152m (500 ft.) using IBM Cabling System Type 1 or Type 2 media. (3284, 3286, and 3288 attach with coaxial cable only.)

Communications

The 3274 Model 51C communicates by BSC in data half-duplex mode with a System/3 over duplex or half-duplex communications facilities as follows:

• System/3 Model 4 via BSCA
• System/3 Model 8 via ICA or BSCA
• System/3 Model 10 via BSCA or LCA
• System/3 Model 12 via ICA or BSCA
• System/3 Model 15 via BSCA or LCA
• System/3 Model 15D via BSCA, BSCC, or LCA

The 3274 Model 51C operates over data half-duplex mode on point-to-point or multipoint half-duplex or duplex nonswitched facilities at transmission speeds of 1200 (51C only), 2000, 2400, 4800, 7200, and 9600 bps. See 2700 pages for facilities.

The 3274 Model 51C communicates with a S/370, 4300 or 9370 Processor using SDLC over duplex or half-duplex communications facilities to a 3704, 3705, or 3725 or via the Communications Adapter on the 4321, 4331 or 9370 (SNA/SDLC), or by BSC to a S/360, S/370, 4300 or 9370 Processor, over duplex or half-duplex communications facilities via (where applicable) a 2701, 2703, or a 3704, 3705, 3725 (see Note 1), or the Communications Adapter on a 4321 or 4331 or via the Telecommunications Subsystem Controller on the 9370 Processor. Communications with a 4331 Processor is also provided via a direct- or data link-attached loop for the Model 51C.

Communications with a S/370 Model 115, 125, 135, or 138 can also be via the Integrated Communications Adapter (#4640) and appropriate BSC features on a 3115, 3125, 3135, or 3138.

The Model 51C communicates with the 8100 Information System, using SDLC, via a data link, a direct- or data link-attached loop, or direct connection.

SDLC is used in the 3274 conforms as a subset (unbalanced normal mode) of both the ISO HDLC and ANSI ADCCP standards. For details of this conformance, see "General Information Manual - IBM Synchronous Data Link Control", GA27-3093.

A 3274 Model 51C can be used with X.25 communications facilities by using Configuration Support P (#9116), or by customization with Configuration Support D (#9124) (release level 63.1 or higher). Appropriate hardware features must be installed to support the Configuration Support option being used. See "X.25 Support" under "Control Storage Functions" and the Configuration Support P and D descriptions for details.

Note: The 3725 is not connectable to a S/360.

Performance

For many 3274 Model 51C systems, response time is limited by transmission line speeds. For these cases, applicable line speed upgrades can be translated into immediate response time improvements. However, performance is also data stream dependent. Refer to IBM Aids for performance evaluation information.

Communications Facilities

The 3274 Model 51C communicates with a 4341, 4361, 4381, 303X, 308X or 3090 processor using SDLC or BSC in half-duplex mode over duplex or half-duplex communication facilities to a 3720.

The 3274 Model 51C operate in half-duplex point-to-point multipoint mode on half-duplex or duplex facilities, using SDLC or BSC, at transmission speeds of 1200/600 (Model 51C only), (Canada only 2000) 2400/1200, 4800/2400, 7200/3600 and 9600/4800 bps on nonswitched facilities. In addition, the 3274 Model 51C operates in half-duplex point-to-point mode using SDLC at transmission speeds of 1200/600, 2400/1200 4800/2400, and 9600/4800 bps on switched facilities. See 2700 pages for facilities. For the UK, see the RPQ Manual, Section 7.

The 3274 Model 51C also operates in half-duplex mode at 9600 or 38.4K bps over a direct-attached loop, and at 2400, 4800, or 9600 bps over a data link-attached loop.

Multipoint and point-to-point communications at speeds up to 56K bps are also possible where facilities are available. In addition, communications through a 3705, or to the Local Attachment Interface #4801 on the 4331 or to an 8130/8140 Processor can be via direct connection without the need for communications facilities or modems. All communications at speeds greater than 9600 bps must use SDLC. See 3705, 4331, 8101, 8130 and 8140 pages for details.

Modems

Unless the 3274 Model 51C will be direct connected, an external Data Circuit-terminating Equipment (DCE) is required when the External Modem Interface (#3701) or CCITT V.35 Interface (#1550) or CCITT X.21 Interface (#5655 or #5656) is installed.

For use with the S/3, unless a Digital Data Service (DDS) Adapter #5650 or #5651 is installed, a 1200 bps integrated modem feature #5500 (51C only) or an external modem must be attached to the 3274 Model 51C. External modems require the External Modem Interface (#3701). No external modem is required when attached locally to S/3 through BSCA/EIA Local, BSCC/EIA Local, LCA or ICA; however, External Modem Interface (#3701) is required.

Direct Connection Attachment

In addition to host attachment via modems or other DCE, attachment can be made by direct connect, without the need for intervening DCE. The direct connect is made by using either the External Modem Interface (#3701) or the V.35 Interface (#1550), the corresponding host interface feature(s), and a connecting cable. Shown below are the hosts that provide direct connection attachment for the 3274. Only the basic features needed by the 3274 direct connect hosts are listed. These features may have prerequisites; therefore, the machine pages for those hosts should also be reviewed. Physical planning manuals for the respective direct connect hosts can provide additional information on the connecting cables.

X.25 Support: (Models 61C) This function, selectable during the customization of a 3274 Model 41C or 61C, provides for attachment to X.25 data transmission services having an interface which complies with Recommendation X.25 (Geneva 1980) of the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (CCITT). IBM conformance to this X.25 interface is defined in "IBM General Information Manual - The X.25 Interface for Attaching IBM SNA nodes to Packet-Switched Data Networks", GA27-3345. Keyboard labels on attached 3178s, 3278s or 3279s keyboards and display screen indicators are provided for operator reference during the calling, data exchange, and disconnecting phases. Although a 3290 cannot be used to establish X.25 operations, a 3290 can be used normally on a 3274 using X.25. See "X.25 Keyboard Labels" under "Accessories" for details on the labels required for selected keyboards on terminals connected to a 3274 attached to a X.25 communications facility. Limitations: Encrypt/Decrypt (#3680) is mutually exclusive with 3274 X.25 capability. The cryptographic feature cannot be used with X.25 operation. Prerequisites: (1) Configuration Support D at release level 63.1 or higher. (2) SNA/SDLC protocol. (3) Configuration Support D requires 256K of control storage (#3660) to support X.25. (4) One of the following Communications Interfaces: #3701, #5655 or #1550.

Note: The maximum line speed supported with any of these Communications Interface features is 9600 bps with X.25. The Communications Interface feature required depends upon the physical interface provided by the network. (5) #6303.

3274 Entry Assist: This function provides capabilities which facilitate entry and editing of text material. The capabilities include margins, tabbing, word wrap, improved cursor positioning, improved character/word delete, cursor position indicator and an audible end-of-line warning tone. Entry Assist is intended for use primarily with a specific set of host editor programs.

Alert Function: This function, selectable during the customization of 3274 Models 61C/SNA, reports problem determination data to the host, for recording and display when NPDA Version 3 is installed in the host.

Response Time Monitor: This function, selectable during the customization of 3274 Models 61C, provides the capability for enhanced network management by accurately measuring transaction times. Response times are collected in up to four user-defined buckets. Response time end-definition is defined by the user and can be one of the following: First Character, Keyboard Usable, or Change Direction/End Bracket (SNA only). The response time information can be displayed at a user designated display station attached to the 3274. Prerequisites: #6101.

Keyboard Definition Utility: This pre-customizing option is available on 3274s with Configuration Support D release level 63 microcode. The utility is for modifying layouts of keyboards that are used on the 3179, 3180 Model 1, (and in the US 3191 Model A10, B10 A30, B30, D10, D30, L30, LZ0, and 3192 Model C10, C30, D10, D30, F10, FD0, F30, FF0, L10, L30); (and in all countries except US 3191 Model A1X, B1X, D1X, F1X); (and in AP, Canada, IBM LA A3X, B3X, D3X, F3X); (and in EMEA 3192 Model C1X, D1X, F1X, L1X; (and in all countries except US and EMEA 3192 Model C1X, C3X, D1X, D3X, L1X, L3X). The utility provides the capability to define the layout of up to four keyboard layouts. Prerequisites: None.

Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) Support: IPDS is a structured field approach to management and control of printer processes and is designed to allow the presentation of text, raster images, vector graphics, bar codes and previously stored overlays at any point on a page.

IPDS commands within the data stream enable the host processor to control and manage the downloading of fonts, symbol sets, and stored objects, such as overlays and page segments. The printer can later use these stored objects to construct a printed page. IPDS can significantly reduce the load on the host processor and the number of characters transmitted to the printer in many advanced printing applications. Prerequisites: Configuration Support D at release level 65. Printers capable of IPDS will be supported by both SNA (LU-1 only) and non-SNA control units. Under non-SNA, IPDS is carried encapsulated in the DSC (3270) data stream. IPDS depends on programming support outside of the 3274 Control Units.

Terminal Attachment

Either RG-62A/U coaxial cable, IBM Cabling System media or specified telephone twisted-pair wire (IBM Cabling System Type 3 media) can be used for Category A device connections to the 3274. (3289 attaches with coaxial cable only.) Depending on the type of wire used, the distance between the 3274 and its attached terminals can be up to 1,500m (4,920 ft.); when a 3299 is used, the maximum distance can be up to 3,000m (9,840 ft.). The 3274 ports use BNC connectors and require a balun cable assembly to connect terminals via IBM Cabling System Types 1, 2, or 9 media. A balun assembly may also be required at the terminal. (Refer to the appropriate terminal pages.) The number of balun assemblies reduces the maximum allowable wire lengths as shown below.

Communications

The 3274 Model 61C communicates by BSC in data half-duplex mode with a System/3 over duplex or half-duplex communications facilities as follows:

• System/3 Model 4 via BSCA
• System/3 Model 8 via ICA or BSCA
• System/3 Model 10 via BSCA or LCA
• System/3 Model 12 via ICA or BSCA
• System/3 Model 15 via BSCA or LCA
• System/3 Model 15D via BSCA, BSCC, or LCA

The 3274 Model 61C communicates with a S/370 or 4300 Processor using SDLC over duplex or half-duplex communications facilities to a 3704, 3705, or 3725 or via the Communications Adapter on the 4321/4331/4361 (SNA/SDLC), or by BSC to a S/360, S/370 or 4300 Processor, over duplex or half-duplex communications facilities via (where applicable) a 2701, 2703, or a 3704, 3705, 3725 (the 3725 is not connectable to the S/360), or the communications Adapter on a 4321 or 4331. Communications with a 4331 processor is also provided via a direct- or data link-attached loop for the Model 61C.

Communications with a S/370 Model 115, 125, 135, or 138 can also be via the Integrated Communications Adapter (#4640) and appropriate BSC features on a 3115, 3125, 3135, or 3138.

The Model 61C communicates with the 8100 Information System, using SDLC, via data link, a direct- or data link-attached loop, or direct connection.

SDLC as used in the 3274 Model 61C conforms to a subset (unbalanced normal mode) of both the ISO HDLC and ANSI ADCCP standards. For details of this conformance, see "General Information Manual, IBM Synchronous Data Link Control", GA27-3093.

A 3274 Model 61C can be used with X.25 communications facilities by customization with Configuration Support D (release level 63.1 or higher). Appropriate hardware features must be installed to support Configuration Support D operation with X.25. See "X.25 Support" under "Control Storage Functions" and Configuration Support D description for details.

Performance

For many 3274 Model 61C systems, response time is limited by transmission line speeds. For these cases, applicable line speed upgrades can be translated into immediate response time improvements. However, performance is also data stream-dependent. Refer to IBM Aids for performance evaluation information.

Communications Facilities (System/3)

The 3274 Model 61C operates over data half-duplex mode on point-to-point or multipoint half-duplex or duplex nonswitched facilities at transmission speeds of 1200 (51C only), 2000, 2400, 4800, 7200, and 9600 bps. See 2700 pages for facilities.

Communications Facilities

The 3274 Model 61C operates in half-duplex point-to-point or multipoint mode on half-duplex or duplex facilities, using SDLC or BSC, at transmission speeds of 1200 (61C only with a modem supplied clock), (and 2000 in US and Canada), 2400/1200, 4800/2400, 7200/3600 and 9600/4800 bps on nonswitched facilities. In addition, the 3274 Model 61C operates in half-duplex point-to-point mode using SDLC at transmission speeds of 1200 (with a modem supplied clock), 2400/1200, 4800/2400, and 9600/4800 bps on switched facilities. See 2700 pages for facilities. For the UK, see the "RPQ Manual", Section 7.

The 3274 Model 61C also operates in half-duplex mode at 9600 or 38,400 bps over a direct-attached loop, and at 2400, 4800, or 9600 bps over a data link-attached loop.

Multipoint and point-to-point communications at speeds up to 56K bps are also possible where facilities are available. In addition, communications through a 3705, 3720, 3721, 3725, 3726 or to the Local Attachment Interface #4801 on the 4331 or to an 8130/8140 Processor can be via direct connection without the need for communications facilities or modems. All communications at speeds greater than 9600 bps must use SDLC. See 3705, 3720, 3721, 3725, 3726, 4331, 8101, 8130 and 8140 pages for details.

Modems

Unless the 3274 Model 61C will be direct connected, an external Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment (DCE) is required when the External Modem Interface (#3701) or CCITT V.35 Interface (#1550) or CCITT X.21 Interface (#5655 or #5656) is installed.

For use with the S/3, unless a Digital Data Service (DDS) Adapter #5650 or #5651 is installed, a 1200 bps integrated modem feature #5500 (51C only) or an external modem must be attached to the 3274 Model 21C, 31C, or 51C. External modems require the External Modem Interface #3701. No external modem is required when attached locally to System/3 through BSCA/EIA Local, BSCC/EIA Local, LCA or ICA; however, External Modem Interface #3701 is required.

4-wire SNBU operation with Manual Call and Auto Answer is available on the 3863 Model 1, 3864 Model 1, and 3865 Models 1 and 2. For communications capabilities, product utilization and features, see 2700, 3863, 3864, 3865 and 3872 pages.

Direct Connection Attachment

In addition to host attachment via modems or other data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE), attachment can be made by direct connect, without the need for intervening DCE. The direct connect is made by using either the External Modem Interface (#3701) or the V.35 Interface (#1550), the corresponding host interface feature(s), and a connecting cable. Shown below are the hosts that provide direct connection attachment for the 3274. Only the basic features needed by the 3274 direct connect hosts are listed. These features may have prerequisites, therefore the machine pages for those hosts should also be reviewed. Physical planning manuals for the respective direct connect hosts can provide additional information on the connecting cables.

Hardware Requirements

Performance is a function of many variables. It should not be inferred that the number of terminals indicated can operate concurrently with satisfactory performance in all situations. Use FIVE3270 or refer to the "IBM 3274 Performance Guidelines, Technical Bulletin", ZZ20-4167 to predict performance for individual cases.

Specify and Special Features installed as default options, have been designated "3274 Standard Models".

To order a 3274 selected from the 3274 Standard Models Selection Chart, it is only necessary to specify the 3274, the model selected, and any Special Feature indicated by the chart.

It should be noted that requests for accessories, other features, RPQs, or any other alterations will NOT be accepted for shipment with a Standard Model. Any desired deviation from a Standard Model configuration necessitates normal ordering procedures and reference to the 3274 pages which follow this Standard Model Selection Guide.

3274 Standard Model Selection

When selecting a 3274, it is necessary to know the host attachment method, the desired terminal features/functions, plus the quantity and type of terminals to be attached. It should be noted that two terminal ports are required to attach a Displaywriter System when it includes a printer. A Glossary at the end of this guide may aid in understanding the above criteria and the 3274 Standard Models Selection Chart below.
