3174 Model 63R - IBM 3174 Introduction Manual

3174 Model 63R
The 3174 Model 63R connects to the IBM Token-Ring Network. It contains a Type
3A Communication Adapter that provides the ability for the controller to operate on
an IBM Token-Ring Network at either 16Mbps or 4Mbps. When connected to a
Model 63R, terminals can be located almost anywhere within an establishment and
still operate at near channel response time.
The Model 63R has 2MB base storage and one 5-1/4-inch, 2.4MB, high-capacity
diskette drive. If the
controll~r
has one diskette drive and uses devices that
require downstream load microcode, a second diskette drive or fixed disk must be
installed. A nine-port terminal adapter supports nine terminals directly or sixteen
3270 terminals and eight ASCII terminals through one or two IBM 3299 Terminal
Multiplexers.
Customizing is performed with a control unit terminal attached to port 0 of the 3174.
Any terminal can be attached to port 0 at other times. The Model 63R supports full
keyboard utilities.
Subsystem online tests and problem determination are performed through a
control unit terminal attached to any port or multiplexer without interrupting other
terminals attached to the 3174. Offline tests are performed through the 3174
control panel.
