This chapter applies to 3745 Models 130 to 610. It does not apply to Model A.
General Information on Local or Alternate consoles
A local console is required, while an alternate console is optional. You can use any
of the following:
• An IBM 3151 Display Station (Models 110, 160,310,360,410, or 460) in
native mode (recommended) or in IBM 3101 emulation mode.
Note: Models which do not support block mode cannot be used as consoles
for the IBM 3745 Communication Controller.
• An IBM 3153 Display Station in IBM 3151 emulation mode.
• An IBM 3161 ASCII Display Station (Model 11, 12, 21, or 22) in IBM 3101
emulation mode.
• An IBM 3163 ASCU Display Station (Model 11, 12, 21, or 22) in IBM 3101
emulation mode (feature code 8235).
• An IBM PS/2, running OS/2 Extended Edition, Release 1.1 or higher.
• An IBM 3727 Operator Console with adhesive keypad labels (part number
03F7773), or any equipment providing equivalent functions (including cable and
keyboard).
Check your console cables (for more information, refer to Appendix C in this
manual, and the Technical News Letter, GN22-5490 part of Input/Output Equipment
Installation Manual- Physical Planning, GN22-5490).
If a cable or console does not work correctly, contact your installation coordinator.
Notes:
1. Consoles can be shared by an IBM 7427 Console Switching Unit. A maximum
of four IBM 3745 or IBM 3725 Communication Controllers can share a local
console. The maximum distance is 7 meters (23 feet). A maximum of six 3745
or 3725 Communication Controllers can share an alternate console. The
maximum distance is 122 meters (400 feet).
2. If you set up certain consoles in an established system, you will need to reload
MOSS (IML). Refer to the Advanced Operations Guide, SA33-0097.
