           DECnet/SNA Gateway-ST needs at least one DECnet Phase IV node
           on the same Ethernet Local Area Network to act as a load host.
           That system needs to be a VAX-based system running the VMS
           or ULTRIX Operating System or a RISC-based system running
           the ULTRIX Operating System.

           Every load host on which DECnet/SNA Gateway-ST software is
           installed must contain:

           o  A valid system configuration for the relevant operating
              system and for the appropriate DECnet product. (Refer to
              the DECnet and appropriate operating system SPDs.)

           Synchronous Transport, Version 1.2

           o  A supported connection on the same LAN as DECnet/SNA Gateway-
              ST.

           o  An appropriate device available to read the software dur-
              ing installation - Magnetic Tape or TK50 drive.

           Disk Space Requirements (Block Cluster Size = 2):

           Disk space re-
           quired             VAX/VMS 3,700 blocks
           for installa-

                              (2,350 Kbytes)

           Disk space re-
           quired             VAX/VMS 3,300 blocks
           for use (perma-
           nent):
                              (1,650 Kbytes)
                              VAX/ULTRIX 3,600 blocks

                              RISC/ULTRIX 4,500 blocks
                              (2,250 Kbytes)

           These counts refer to the disk space required on the sys-
           tem disk. The sizes are approximate; actual sizes may vary
           depending on the user's system environment, configuration,
           and software options.

           In addition to disk space allocated to DECnet/SNA Gateway-
           ST software, some disk space (approximately 5,000 blocks)
           should be reserved for any dump files that may be generated
           by DECnet/SNA Gateway-ST. The location of these dump files
           is determined by the system administrator. In addition, each

           Synchronous Transport, Version 1.2

           Gateway-ST configured will require additional disk space (at
           least 40 blocks (20 Kbytes)) for configuration scripts.

           Communications Hardware Required:

           DEC MicroServer:

           DECnet/SNA Gateway-ST software runs on the DEC MicroServer
           unit, which is available in the following forms:

           o  DEMSA-AA for use with 120V AC power supplies

           o  DEMSA-AB for use with 240V AC power supplies

           The DEC MicroServer has a built-in LAN controller but needs
           a suitable connection to connect to the customer's LAN, to-
           gether with any necessary extension cables.

           The DEC MicroServer uses adapter cables to provide the nec-
           essary interchange circuits at the appropriate electrical
           interface types and ISO standard connections for each syn-
           chronous line. One of these cables is needed for each line
           used. Table 1 shows the cable numbers for each of the elec-
           trical interface types.

           The BS19D-02 cable provides the RS232-D/V.24 interface, but
           is supplied with an adapter that allows it to be used for
           RS232-C as well.

           Synchronous Transport, Version 1.2

           DEC MicroServer synchronous ports do not provide clock sig-
           nals; an external clock source (such as a modem or modem elim-
           inator) is required.

           DEC MicroServer-SP:

           DECnet/SNA Gateway-ST software runs on the DEC MicroServer-
           SP unit, which is available in the following forms:

           o  DEMSB-AA for use with 120V AC power supplies

           o  DEMSB-AB for use with 240V AC power supplies

           The DEC MicroServer-SP has a built-in LAN controller but needs
           a suitable connection to connect to the customer's LAN, to-
           gether with any necessary extension cables.

           The DEC MicroServer uses adapter cables to provide the nec-
           essary interchange circuits at the appropriate electrical
           interface types and ISO standard connections for each syn-
           chronous line. Table 2 shows the cable numbers for the elec-
           trical interface types supported.

           The BS19D-02 cable provides the RS232-D/V.24 interface, but
           is supplied with an adapter that allows it to be used for
           RS232-C as well.

           The DEC MicroServer-SP synchronous port does not provide clock
           signals; an external clock source (such as a modem or mo-
           dem eliminator) is required.
