Highlights


Description

The 3274 is a terminal control unit which can attach up to 32 displays (12 on Model 51C; 16 on Model 61C) and/or printers, unless a Displaywriter System(s), which includes a printer, is to be attached. A Displaywriter System without a printer requires one terminal port (the same as other terminals), but when a Displaywriter System includes a printer, two terminal ports are required to attach. These terminals are grouped into two categories, A and B. The Category A terminals are a display and printers which were developed for attachment to the 3274, while the Category B terminals were designed for attachment to the 3271s and 3272s. The 3274 attaches the Category B terminals with certain limitations. A maximum of 16 of the 32 attachable terminals can be Category B terminals. During a write operation, a 3277 attached to a 3274 via a Type B Terminal Adapter will blink more frequently than when attached to a 3271 or 3272.

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.

Model Description 3274-A01
Provides the capability of controlling up to a maximum cluster of 32 terminals consisting of display stations, and/or printers. Two categories of terminal adapters are used in attaching the desired displays or printers (see "Terminal Attachment List" below). The basic 3274 allows attachment of up to eight Category A terminals. The two categories of terminal adapters can be featured in various combinations to provide the maximum terminal configuration of 32 terminals (a maximum of 16 of the 32 terminals can be Category B units and at least one Category A Display Station with keyboard is needed for diagnostic purposes). The 3274 has one model for communicating in data half-duplex mode via half-duplex or duplex communications facilities and three models for local channel attachment.

For local (SNA version) attachment, via a byte multiplexer, selector, or *block multiplexer channel, to a S/370 or 30XX processor; or any 4300 processor via a byte multiplexer or block multiplexer channel.

Attachable Terminals

Category A Terminals:

Notes:
  1. Because of the high data volumes possible with this printer, it is strongly recommended the IBM Aid FIVE3270 be used to predict the effect the 4250 has on subsystem performance.
  2. Two terminal ports are required to attach a Displaywriter System when it includes a printer.
  3. Model C3, C4 support requires RPQs. See "Prerequisites" section in 3178 pages for details.
Category B Terminals: 3274 Control Storage Requirement Tables

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:
  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.
Notes For Table 1:
  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.
  3.                     Maximum
    Unit              Storage Value
    3274-1A              10,744
  4. 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.
  5. Add the indicated amount for each keyboard type to be used.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. For 4250 attachment to 3274 Models 1A, the SFAP function is required plus support for one Extended Attribute Terminal for each 4250 attached.
  11. SCS printer support required for 4250 attachment.
  12. A Displaywriter System requires two terminal ports when it includes a printer.
  13. Limitations: This function does NOT support ASCII unless RPQ 8K1037 is installed.

Note: The 3274 does not support copying the screen contents of an attached display station to an attached 4250.

Host-Loadable Print Authorization Matrix: This function, selectable during the 3274 customization process, provides the capability for the 3274, during subsequent IBM procedures, to receive, from a user-written application program at the host CPU, an updated Printer Authorization Matrix to override the matrix created by the customization operator or by system default.

Color Convergence Function: This function, selectable during the customization of any Model 3274, provides the mechanism through which the operator of a 3279 can perform color convergence for the 3279.

IBM Personal Computer Attachment Support: This function, selectable during the customization of any Model 3274, except 21x, provides support for attachment of an IBM Personal Computer to a 3278 or 3279. Prerequisites: SFAP.

3274 Entry Assist RPQ: This RPQ provides capabilities which facilitate entry and editing of text material. The capabilities include margins, tabbing, word-wrap, improved cursor positioning, improved character and word delete, cursor position indicator and an audible end-of-line warning tone. Entry Assist RPQ is intended for use with a specific set of host editor programs. See RPQ 8K1147 Description and Price Transmittal for storage requirements and prerequisites.

3274 Entry Assist RPQ is supported for the following keyboard languages/character sets:

Model Description 3274-C01
Provides the capability of controlling up to a maximum cluster of 32 terminals consisting of display stations, and/or printers. Two categories of terminal adapters are used in attaching the desired displays or printers (see "Terminal Attachment List" below). The basic 3274 allows attachment of up to eight Category A terminals. The two categories of terminal adapters can be featured in various combinations to provide the maximum terminal configuration of 32 terminals (a maximum of 16 of the 32 terminals can be Category B units and at least one Category A Display Station with keyboard is needed for diagnostic purposes). The 3274 has one model for communicating in data half-duplex mode via half-duplex or duplex communications facilities and three models for local channel attachment.

Model 1C C01

For communicating in data half-duplex mode over half-duplex or duplex communications facilities with the following:

Attachable Terminals

Category A Terminals:

Notes:
  1. 4250 cannot attach to 3274 Models 1C.
  2. Because of the high data volumes possible with this printer, it is strongly recommended the IBM Aid FIVE3270 be used to predict the effect the 4250 has on subsystem performance.
  3. Two terminal ports are required to attach a Displaywriter System when it includes a printer.
  4. Model C3, C4 support requires RPQs. See "Prerequisites" section in 3178 pages for details.
Category B Terminals: 3274 Control Storage Requirement Tables

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:
  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.
Notes For Table 1:
  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.
  3.                     Maximum
    Unit              Storage Value
    3274-1C/SNA          10,744
    3274-1C/BSC           6,844
  4. 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.
  5. Add the indicated amount for each keyboard type to be used.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  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.

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. Communications with a 4331 Processor can be via the Communications Adapter (#1601) using BSC or SDLC/SNA protocols.

SDLC as used in the 3274-1C 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 1C can be used with X.25 communications facilities by using Configuration Support P #9116 and having appropriate hardware features to support this Configuration Support Option. See "X.25 Support" under "Control Storage Functions" and the Configuration Support P description for details.

Performance

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.

Model Description 3274-D01
Provides the capability of controlling up to a maximum cluster of 32 terminals consisting of display stations, and/or printers. Two categories of terminal adapters are used in attaching the desired displays or printers (see "Terminal Attachment List" below). The basic 3274 allows attachment of up to eight Category A terminals. The two categories of terminal adapters can be featured in various combinations to provide the maximum terminal configuration of 32 terminals (a maximum of 16 of the 32 terminals can be Category B units and at least one Category A Display Station with keyboard is needed for diagnostic purposes). The 3274 has one model for communicating in data half-duplex mode via half-duplex or duplex communications facilities and three models for local channel attachment.

Model D01 1D

For Local (3272 version) attachment, via a byte multiplexer, selector or *block multiplexer channel, to a virtual storage S/370 processor, or any 4300 processor via a byte multiplexer or block multiplexer channel.

Attachable Terminals

Category A Terminals:

Notes:
  1. Model 5 cannot be attached to a 3274 Model 1B.
  2. 4250 cannot attach to 3274 Models 1B and 1C.
  3. Because of the high data volumes possible with this printer, it is strongly recommended the IBM Aid FIVE3270 be used to predict the effect the 4250 has on subsystem performance.
  4. Two terminal ports are required to attach a Displaywriter System when it includes a printer.
  5. Model C3, C4 support requires RPQs. See "Prerequisites" section in 3178 pages for details.
Category B Terminals: 3274 Control Storage Requirement Tables

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:
  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.
Notes For Table 1:
  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.
  3.                     Maximum
    Unit              Storage Value
    3274-1D               8,844
  4. 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.
  5. Add the indicated amount for each keyboard type to be used.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  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 Model 1D, 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.
