2796 Data Entry as Assembled in the 2715 TCU

2796 Data Entry

A 2796 data entry as assembled in the 2715 TCU consists
of 18 digits of data plus transaction-header information (see
Figure 7):
Digit 1— Monitor key setting and type of DEU.
Digit 2— Setting of upper right-hand rotary switch.
Digits 3 through 12— Contents of card or badge. Blanks
are transmitted for these positions if a card or badge
is not entered as part of the data entry.
Digit 13— Setting of lower left-hand rotary switch.
Digit 14— Setting of lower right-hand rotary switch.
Digit 15 through 18-Setting of four rocker-thumbwheel
switches.

The combination of the area station's address, the data
entry unit's address, and the setting of the left-hand (upper
left-hand for 2796) rotary switch selects the proper trans­
action list from the user's transaction-list table. The trans­
action list provides the controls to process the data entry.
All 2795's assigned to a given AS must use the same
transaction list for corresponding rotary-switch settings
(transaction code). All 2796's assigned to a given AS must
