Software Product Description ___________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: 2780/3780 Protocol Emulator for OpenVMS[TM] VAX[TM], SPD 25.07.19 Version 1.9 DESCRIPTION The Compaq 2780/3780 Protocol Emulator (PE) for OpenVMS VAX emulates the synchronous line protocol used by an IBM 2780 or 3780 remote batch terminal. The emulator provides the OpenVMS user with a mechanism for transferring data between the host operating system and another sys- tem equipped to handle 2780 or 3780 communications protocols. The emulator can be invoked interactively or via a command procedure. The emulator's command set is designed to let several users share a communication line. With the appropriate modem options, the emulator is capable of automatically answering incoming calls. Sophisticated operations can be performed by a combination of command procedures, allowing, for example, unattended operation. Unattended operations include the ability to detect an incoming call, to estab- lish the connection, and then to transmit, and to receive files and recover from transmission failures, all without the intervention of an operator. The PE supports several data formats; a particular format is selected via a user's command. Users can select various control translation schemes, variable record lengths or card images, ASCII EBCDIC translation, and BSC transparency. The OpenVMS record management facility performs all file I/O. Data can be sent to files representing print and punch streams; the format of files sent to one "stream" can differ from the format sent to the other "stream." April 2001 2780/3780 Protocol Emulator for OpenVMS[TM] VAX[TM], SPD 25.07.19 Version 1.9 Features The following IBM remote job batch terminal features are supported by the Compaq 2780/3780 Protocol Emulator for OpenVMS VAX : o 2780 extended and multiple record option o Variable horizontal forms control o BSC transparency o 3780 space compression o BSC point-to-point configurations (multipoint is not supported) The product can run up to four physical lines, each with a different set of line attributes (for example, some can be 2780 lines, others 3780) at speeds between 1200 bps and 9600 bps per line, depending on the processor.
