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.) 3 DECnet/SNA Gateway for SSA 25.C6.02-A 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- tion: (1,850 Kbytes) VAX/ULTRIX 3,900 blocks (1,950 Kbytes) RISC/ULTRIX 4,700 blocks (2,350 Kbytes) Disk space re- quired VAX/VMS 3,300 blocks for use (perma- nent): (1,650 Kbytes) VAX/ULTRIX 3,600 blocks (1,800 Kbytes) 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 4 DECnet/SNA Gateway for SSA 25.C6.02-A 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. _________________________________________________________ Table_1:__Adapter_Cables_________________________________ Electrical Adapter Connector/ Interface______Cable_____pinout__________________________ RS232-D/V.24 BS19D-02 ISO 2110 V.35___________BC19F-02__ISO_2593________________________ 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. 5 DECnet/SNA Gateway for SSA 25.C6.02-A 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. _________________________________________________________ Table_2:__Adapter_Cables_________________________________ Electrical Adapter Connector/ Interface______Cable_____pinout__________________________ RS232-D/V.24___BS19D-02__ISO_2110________________________ 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. 6 DECnet/SNA Gateway for SSA 25.C6.02-A Synchronous Transport, Version 1.2 OPTIONAL HARDWARE Additional adapter cables (with the necessary extension ca- bles and modems) to make use of additional synchronous lines on the DEC MicroServer, up to the maximum defined in the SPD.
