Cables

The customer is responsible to prepare cables. Many IBM systems provide their own unique cables for 3162 attachment and those systems should be referenced for detail information. A modem cable is provided as an IBM accessory for use in attaching to certain devices (specifically modems) and an I/O cable are provided as an IBM accessory for attaching the 4201/4202 Proprinter.

Auxiliary Port

An auxiliary interface is provided for attachment of an input or output device with EIA RS-232-C (CCITT V.24/V.28). The 4201/4202 Proprinter may be attached at the Auxiliary Port.

Communications

The 3162 communicates with a variety of host processors. When using the EIA RS-232-C (CCITT V.24/V.28) interface, the 3162 can communicate through a modem, to a remote host processor at 50 - 2400 bps (1800 bps in half-duplex mode), or it can directly (without a modem) attach to a host processor within 12.2m (40.0 ft) at 50 - 19,200 bps.

Note:For direct connect to the 8100 system, the 3.0m (10.0 ft) Modem Cable must be used and the length of the 8100 direct connect cable cannot exceed 9.1m (30.0 ft), thus the total maximum cable length from the 8100 system to the 3162 must be 12.2m (40.0 ft).

When using the EIA RS-422-A (CCITT V.11) interface, the 3162 can communicate with a host processor, without a modem, up to 1,219m (4,000 ft) at 50 - 19,200 bps depending on the type of cable used. A shielded communication cable is recommended. Multi-function attachment cable is used to attach a 3162 models 12/22/32/42 to the host via IBM Cabling System. The 3162 may be attached to a 4361 processor via the 4361 feature EIA/CCITT Interface (#3701) with the 4361 feature Line Attachment Base for Non-Clocked Modems (#4696) and Start/Stop Line Control (#968X) and operates at speeds up to 2400 bps in 3101 mode and 3162 native mode. The attachment must be via the EIA RS-232-C (CCITT V.24/V.28) interface, via asynchronous modem with switched or non-switched telephone line, or via direct attachment at a distance up to 12m (40 ft).

Communicating through Modem

When using an external modem through EIA RS-232-C (CCITT V.24/V.28) interface, the 3162 operates in point-to-point

on half-duplex or full-duplex facility at transmission speeds of up to 300, 600, 1200/600 and at 1800 bps (half duplex only) on non-switched facilities. M1M, M2M.

rates on switched facilities at transmission speeds of 50, 75, 110, 134.5, 150, 200, 300, 600 and 1200/600 bps in full-duplex and half-duplex modes, and at 1800 bps in half-duplex mode and at 2400 bps in full-duplex mode. For attachment to the facility P1 or P2, character mode or echo mode will be used. For communication capabilities, product utilization and special features, see 2700 pages. The 3162 provides XON/XOFF Control. The 3162 may be attached to packet switched networks through the PAD complying with the CCITT recommendation X.28 via DCEs with CCITT X.20 bis interface.

Modems

A modem cable is required for the attachment to a modem. 5811-20/28, 5812-10/18 at speeds up to 19,200 bps on facilities GASYN, 5841 and PTT mandatory modems complying with CCITT Recommendations (1979), V.24, V.28, ISO Standard 2110 and either CCITT Recommendations V.21, V.22 or V.23 may be attached. Other non-IBM modems may be attached subject to the Multiple Supplier Systems Bulletin.

System Attachment

Series/1, System/88 and Non-IBM Mini Computers attach the 3162 with RS-422-A (CCITT V.11) interface (model 12 only), or RS-232-C (CCITT V.24/28) interface both in 50 to 19.2K bps line speed, and via a modem with RS-232-C (CCITT V.24/28) interface in 50 to 2400 bps line speed. IBM S/370 Processors attach the 3162, via 270X, 370X, or 3725/6 with RS-232-C (CCITT V.24/28) interface in 50 to 1200 bps line speed, via 370X-8100 or 3725/6-8100 with RS-232-C (CCITT V.24/28) interface in 50 to 2400 bps (with modem) or 50 to 9600 bps (without modem) line speed, and via a protocol converter with RS-232-C (CCITT V.24/28) interface in 50 to 19.2K bps line speed. The S/36, S/38, and AS/400 attach to the 3162 with EIA-232 (CCITT V.24/28) interface or EIA-422-A (CCITT V.11) interface. The S/36, S/38, and AS/400 attachment via the 5208 ASCII-5250 Link Protocol Converter or ROLMbridge 5250 Link Protocol Converter provides up to a 19.2K bps line speed. The AS/400 ASCII Workstation Controller also provides the 3162 up to a 19.K bps line speed. For connection of the 3162 to 8100, a connection cable of 9.1m (30 ft) or less and a modem cable of 3m (10 ft) must be used. As an alternative to a modem attachment, the 3162 may be directly connected to a ROLM CBX at speeds up to 19.2K bps through one of the following devices with RS-232-C (CCITT V.24/28) interface: ROLMphone Datacom Module (DCM), Data Terminal Interface (DTI), rack-mounted version of the DCM or DTI. The 3162 can be attached to the 6150/6151 via the 4-Port Asynchronous 232-C Adapter or 4-Port Asynchronous 422-A Adapter, and operate in native mode.

Keyboard

The 3162 keyboard, detachable from the Logic WSE, has coiled cable, low profile with tactile feedback and 102 (Canada only or 103) (Japan only or 104) keys including 12 Function keys shiftable to 24, 3 Program Attention keys, and a numeric keypad with a line drawing capability, and keycaps are replaceable.

Printers

The 3162 has an auxiliary port that can connect an ASCII printer over an RS-232-C direct connection. A print key allows local printing of the screen, while the software commands allow remote printing from a host. For example, the 4201 Proprinter may attach via its serial interface to the 3162 for direct printing of text-oriented screens (or graphics and text via host programming).

IBM 3101 Compatibility and Migration

The 3162, when operating in 3101 emulation mode, will accept and generate the 3101 model 881 in US and Canada only, data streams. There are two methods of placing the 3162 into the 3101 emulation mode. The operator may select the 3101 mode during menu setup, or a suitably programmed host may send a "3101 mode" command to 3162. There are some operational differences in terms of the screen management facilities. The 3161/3163 ASCII Display Station Description documents these differences.

Security Facilities

A special non-displayed input mode provides for fields of data to be program-defined so that they will accept data entered from the keyboard without displaying the data on the screen.

Customer Responsibilities

The customer is responsible for:

  1. Adequate site, system, cables and other vendor preparation.
  2. Receipt at customer's receiving dock, unpacking and placement of unit.
  3. Physical setup, connection of cables in customer access area, program setting of setup options.
