          o  CXM04-* Line Card

          The 3270 Terminal Option Software is downline loaded to the
          CXM04-* option card that resides in a DECserver 550 or DECserver
          510 Terminal Server. The 3270 Terminal Option software will only
          be supported in a DECserver 550 or DECserver 510 Terminal Server
          with accompanying CXM04-* option cards.

          Minimum system configurations include:

          The 3270 Terminal Option Software runs on the following hard-
          ware:

             CXM04-AA (Factory Installed Option)

             Communication option card for the DECserver 550 or DECserver
             510 Terminal Servers. Supports IBM[R] 3270 CUT mode emulation
             terminals.

             CXM04-AF (Field Installed Option)

             Communication Option Card for the DECserver 550 or DECserver
             510 Terminal Servers. Supports IBM 3270 CUT mode emulation
             terminals.

          3270 Terminal Option Software, Version 1.1        SSA 25.G5.01-A



          A TK50 Tape Drive is required for standalone MicroVAX 2000 and
          VAXstation 2000 systems.

          Block Space Requirements (Block Cluster Size = 1):

          Disk space required for      1,000 blocks
          installation:
                                       (512K bytes)

          Disk space required for      900 blocks
          use (permanent):
                                       (461K bytes)

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

          Warranty Limitations

          This product is NOT WARRANTED to support non-IBM control units.
          However, IBM Control Unit Compatibles that support the IBM coax
          A data stream MAY operate with this product.

          This product is NOT WARRANTED to support non-IBM terminal de-
          vices or non-IBM personal computers OTHER THAN THOSE LISTED
          ABOVE. The coaX-A (R) protocol that is understood by the 3270
          displays and cluster controller is subject to interpretation
          by the plug-compatible vendors. As a result, (INCLUDING THOSE
          LISTED ABOVE) any non-IBM 3270 displays, PCs (with 3270 Emu-
          lation packages), or cluster controllers could exhibit certain
          anomolies that will vary from vendor to vendor, model to model,
          or revision level of the device.

          DIGITAL will continue to qualify additional IBM and non-IBM 3270
          display products, as well as explore opportunities to improve
          features, functionality, and performance. If you are planning
          to connect any non-IBM 3270 displays, PCs (with 3270 Emulation
          Packages), or cluster controllers to DIGITAL's 3270 Terminal
          Option Card, please contact your DIGITAL Customer Support Center
          for the latest information on your particular 3270 display
          products.

          Foreign Language Keyboard Support

          Version 1.1 extends support for additional foreign language key-
          boards. In addition to US, French, German and British supported
          in Version 1.0, the following keyboard tables are also supplied:

          Danish       Italian

          Dutch        Norwegian

          Finnish      Spanish

          French/BelgiaSwiss/French

          French/CanadiSwiss/German

          Enhanced Support for Non-EAB and EAB Monochrome Displays

          Non-EAB displays, such as the IBM 3278, IBM 3178 and IBM 3191,
          do not use an extended attributes plane to perform highlight-
          ing/bolding etc. Prior to Version 1.1, non-EAB displays attached
          to the CXM04, could not indicate any such attributes in VT-mode,
          making applications such as spellchecker difficult. Version
          1.1 provides an option for a non-EAB display user to select
          or deselect 'ATTRIBUTE ON' in VT-mode Setup. When ATTRIBUTE
          ON is selected, highlighted words or fields are identified as
          blinking.

          Enhanced support is also provided for EAB Monochrome displays
          such as the IBM 3180 and IBM 3192-D. These displays could only
          indicate limited attributes such as underlining. Support is now
          provided for reverse video as an indication of a bolded field.

          CLUSTER ENVIRONMENT

          This layered product is fully supported when installed on any
          valid and licensed VAXcluster* configuration without restric-
          tions. The HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS sections of this product's
          Software Product Description and System Support Addendum detail
          any special hardware required by this product.

          *  V5.x VAXcluster configurations are fully described in the
             VAXcluster Software Product Description (29.78.xx) and in-
             clude CI, Ethernet and Mixed Interconnect configurations.

          DECserver 500 VMS V2.0

          Note: The 3270 Terminal Option Software is installed on a VMS
          load host, which must contain DECnet-VAX (Phase IV). DECnet is
          used for down-line loading the 3270 Terminal Option Software
          into the CXM04 units and for other maintenance operations such
          as loop testing, upline dumping, and remote management.

          All 3270 Terminal Option Software that runs on the CXM04 hard-
          ware is down-line loaded over the network from a DECnet-VAX
          Version 5.0 node. This node must be a valid VMS.

          OPTIONAL SOFTWARE

          Terminal Server Manager V1.3

          VMS Tailoring:

          For VMS V5.x, the following VMS classes are required for full
          functionality of this layered product:

          o  VMS Required Saveset
