3. When the printer is sharing one of its ports with a directly or remotely connected terminal, personal computer, or word processor, through the terminal’s auxiliary port. Situation #3 is called the Auxiliary Printer facility of the LinkUp 5294. See Figure 3-1 for a diagram of this facility.
Page 18
CHAPTER 3: Features and Applications When this facility is activated, a printer attached to a terminal’s auxiliary port is addressed by your System/3X host (and the LinkUp) as if it were attached by its own distinct line, with full System/3X printer emulation capabilities.
LINKUP 5294 WITH DL5294 FIRMWARE NOTE The printer attached to the LinkUp must be obtained so that its device ready signal matches the value configured in the LinkUp. The conditions under which the LinkUp implements printer SIGNALs for an auxiliary printer are different.

The LinkUp is designed to be user-friendly. You should have very little, if any, difficulty operating it. Here are some of the facilities that make the LinkUp 5294 easier to operate: • A Menu-Driven Configurator Mode, enabling you to define a variety of operational parameters by menu selections.
1. Data alone is transmitted; for example, no intensity or cursor-positioning sequences are ever sent, even if your 3X host requests them. This process enables the LinkUp 5294 to convert and pass on the transferred data in the same order it was received.
• Amount of RAM installed • Silkscreened name on front panel of unit Your LinkUp 5294 with DL5294 Firmware can be modified to support the 3174 protocol by doing the following: • Ordering the appropriate conversion kit from your supplier.
When the capability of Four Controller Emulations Per One Synchronous Port is implemented, the LinkUp 5294 appears to your host as if it were up to four distinct controllers (each with its own System/3X controller address) on a multipoint line. The LinkUp 5294 supports this facility by mapping each of the 3X controller addresses to the appropriate controller emulations by a logically defined Link Station Address (identified as Links 0, 1, 2, and 3).
This chapter discusses the LinkUp 5294’s hardware components and capabilities. 4.1 Front Panel The front panel of the LinkUp 5294 is shown in Figure 4-1. Status indicators monitor power and RS- 232C line signals on the selected channel. Two user controls are provided for easy operation.
DTE. • CD (Carrier Detect) — This LED is lit when the LinkUp 5294 has detected a carrier signal from a remote modem. If no detectable carrier signal is present, or the remote modem hangs up, this LED is turned off.
10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 PORTS: PORTS: 340-0036-02 The rear panel of the LinkUp 5294 is equipped with the following: 1.Up to 34 serial (RS-232/V.24 compatible) Ports, numbered 0 through 33. 2.An A.19/.15, 50/60 Hz air flow fan. 3.A rocker-type on/off power switch.
5.1 Power Specifications The LinkUp 5294 power supply is rated at 50 watts and operates on 115 or 230 volts (plus or minus 15%) at 50 or 60 Hz (plus or minus 2 Hz). Its power connector is the international standard CEE-22.
Page 29
LINKUP 5294 WITH DL5294 FIRMWARE Asynchronous Port with DB25 Connector The minimum requirements of an asynchronous RS-232C cable for use with dedicated terminals provide Pins 1 through 8 and 20. The minimum requirements for use with auto-answer modems provide Pins 1 through 8, 20, and 22.
NPACK THE The LinkUp 5294 is carefully packed in a 25.5" x 15.8" x 11" box. A label on the outside of the box lists the model of the unit, serial number, firmware version number, date of manufacture, voltage setting of the power switch (115 or 230 VAC), and other electrical information.
STABLISH OMMUNICATION Power on both the LinkUp 5294 and the terminal. Allow a short time, approximately 2 or 3 seconds, for the LinkUp 5294 to perform its internal power-on self tests. Once the selftests are completed and all systems are functioning normally, the SYS OK LED on the front panel begins blinking slowly and 02 appears in the CHANNEL/ERROR display.
For further information refer to Appendix G, which gives individual setup details for all supported terminal types, or consult the literature provided by the terminal manufacturer. Connect each terminal to the appropriate asynchronous port of the LinkUp 5294 using a standard RS- 232C cable. NOTE When attaching devices to those ports having DB9 connectors, DB9-to-DB25 converter cables may be required.
• Configure the LU associated with the port as a PRT (printer) LU. • Connect the printer to one of the async ports on the rear of the LinkUp 5294. Make sure that the port interface parameters agree. The autobaud option cannot be used for printers.
At the LinkUp 5294 site, the operator can monitor the port and observe the Ring Indicator flashing during the dial-up. Once the LinkUp 5294 answers the call, the DTR and DSR lights will remain on. If this does not happen, refer to Chapter 9 for help in correcting the problem.
LINKUP 5294 WITH DL5294 FIRMWARE 6.6 Connecting the LinkUp 5294 to the Host Computer The LinkUp 5294 can be attached to the host front end in one of three ways as shown in Figure 6-1. SYSTEM/3X MODEM MODEM MODEM ELIMINATOR...
• Link Station address. (If both ports 0 and 1 are used, they may have the same Link Station number.) • Bit Rate. Use external clocking if the LinkUp 5294 is set for DTE, or specify a bit rate if the LinkUp 5294 is DCE.
If the correct front panel signals are not present, refer to Chapter 9. If neither the TXD nor RXD light is flashing, there is no synchronous line between the LinkUp 5294 and the host computer. Contact the host operator and make sure that the line has been activated.
5294 by a shielded RS-232C cable. When a terminal, printer, personal computer, or 3X host is attached directly to a LinkUp 5294 port, it is called a Local connection; when they are attached by modems, it is called a Remote connection.
ERMINAL Virtually any ASCII terminal can be used to operate the LinkUp 5294; however, it must be compatible with one of the Terminal Modules supported by the LinkUp 5294. See Appendix D for a list of those terminals currently supported.
In the second situation, the PAD (or terminal node) might be set up to echo only displayable characters: those including hexadecimal values 20 to 7E. When a PAD is set up in this way, the LinkUp 5294 is not able to suppress your input to a non-display field, such as during a password entry. This means that your input will display even though it should not.
The Connect Mode sign-on menu consists of a display of the firmware version number (represented as V1.xxxx, where x is any integer from 0 to 9) installed in the LinkUp 5294, followed by the first of as many as 15 menu prompts. A sample screen is shown below.
In general, the format of these prompts is: ENTER “parameter name” (default value):. Each prompt allows you to confirm the default value for a specific LinkUp 5294 configuration parameter, or enter a new value. The number of menu prompts which ultimately display depends on which of the following parameters (if any) are defined as overridable during Configurator Mode: •...
Page 43
LINKUP 5294 WITH DL5294 FIRMWARE Enter Device Type (ADM3A): <Enter> Enter LU Number (3): 5 <Enter> Enter Password: MYLU <Enter> Specify Reconnect Password: RECON <Enter> Enter Inactivity Time Limit (10): NONE <Enter> Enter Reconnect Time Limit (30): 20 <Enter> Echoplex Enable (YES): <Enter>...
Page 44
NOTE Although the parameters 2 through 5 above are displayed and allow you to enter valid values, they are not used or supported by the LinkUp 5294 at this time. A secondary Connect Mode sign-on screen is shown below. ****5294 CONTROLLER EMULATOR - V1.00U3***...
An example of a logical disconnection would be if an Inactivity Time Limit was defined in the LinkUp 5294 by Configurator Mode and the LinkUp 5294 timed out after the specified time limit was reached.
Port Test Mode uses various port tests and traces which use the following conventions: • Data from the LinkUp 5294 to the terminal or host is enclosed in square brackets ([ ]). • Data from the terminal or host to the LinkUp 5294 is displayed without brackets.
LINKUP 5294 WITH DL5294 FIRMWARE When the LinkUp 5294 prompts for entry of an LU (Logical Unit) number, type 1 followed by <Enter>. The Port Test Mode menu will appear on the terminal screen. ***PORT TEST MODE*** Options: 1. System Management Mode 2.
• The <SPACE> bar is a toggle which freezes and restarts the display. When the display is frozen, data is buffered by the LinkUp 5294. If this buffer overflows, a string of asterisks (*) will appear in the trace data.
Unlike Port Test Mode, System Management Mode can be password-protected. When System Management Mode is selected, the LinkUp 5294 will prompt for entry of the system password if one is required. A new password may then be specified after successful entry of the old one. After the correct password has been entered, the System Management Mode Option Menu is displayed.
Page 50
Connect Mode, type either END or QUIT, followed by <Enter> in response to the Enter Choice prompt. Exit from each of the function screens is discussed below. • Configurator Mode (Option 1) — When Item 1 is selected from the menu, the LinkUp 5294 enters Configurator Mode and the following prompt is displayed: Enter Item to be Configured: This allows configuration of Port and LU parameters.
Page 51
A dash is introduced after the first row and after the first four hex values of a message, to mark the end of the link and transmission headers. The two byte CRC is included in inbound messages to the LinkUp 5294. The screen below illustrates a sync port trace, with explanation of trace format.
Page 52
SPACE Freeze/Start Display; * - Reset Trace • Character Echo Test (Option 22) — The Character Echo Test causes the LinkUp 5294 to echo each key typed from the keyboard. This includes Attention Keys and Escape (ESC) sequences. Care should be taken in using this test.
Page 53
FC From Device Dev Rdy Signal • SNA/SDLC Counters (Option 25) — This function displays statistical information for the selected synchronous port. Entering the port number in response to the LinkUp 5294 prompt causes the screen shown below to be displayed.
Page 54
• Retransmissions — This is the total number of blocks resent to the host. • SNRMs — Set Normal Response Mode commands. This is the number of SNRMs received by the LinkUp 5294. • I-Frames — Information Frames. This is the number of data frames sent and received.
Configurator Mode may only be accessed from one terminal at a time. To access it, you must first be in System Management Mode. Select Option 1 from the System Management Mode options menu. The LinkUp 5294 will enter Configurator Mode and the following prompt will be displayed: Enter Item to be Configured: As previously mentioned, Configurator Mode enables you to define the operating and environmental characteristics in which the LinkUp 5294 will function.
For example, if an installation only uses Televideo 925 terminals, all directly coupled to the LinkUp 5294, then the default Device Type (TV925) should be set by the Configurator as non-overridable. An operator performing a normal connect to the LinkUp 5294 would not then be asked to enter the Device Type.

Configured: prompt. There is one Exception. When you type END to exit the Asynchronous Port configuration menu after configuring the port to which your terminal is connected, the LinkUp 5294 takes you out of Configurator Mode and displays the following message on your screen: **Connect/Port Test Cancelled - Port Reconfigured.**...

4. Half/Full Duplex Line Valid values are FULL or HALF. The value defined for this parameter depends on whether the LinkUp 5294 port is configured for a DTE or DCE interface, and is as follows: • HALF-DUPLEX (DTE) — Following data reception from the host, the LinkUp 5294 waits for the...
Page 61
Valid values are: 0 through 4. This parameter dictates how many Link Station Addresses will be recognized by the LinkUp 5294 on this port; that is, how many controllers will be emulated by the LinkUp 5294 through this port. The addresses of these controllers are then specified in parameters 8 through 11, below.
8-11. Link 0, Link 1, Link 2, and Link 3 Station Addresses Valid values are: 0 through FE Hex. If 0 is entered, the LinkUp 5294 assumes that the Link Station Address is not to be used; if a Hex value beginning with an alpha character (A through F) is entered, that Hex value must be entered with a leading 0 in this example: 0A9.
Page 63
Valid values are: 0 and 2 through 32. A Logical Unit is a virtual device address that is not tied to any one physical port. The LinkUp 5294 uses an LU as an identification number to keep track of your attached device; it is not the workstation address Local Station ID) defined on your System/3X.
Page 64
AUTO enables the LinkUp 5294 to automatically detect the incoming baud rate of the device attached to its port. This is commonly called Autobaud detection. When AUTO is specified, the LinkUp 5294 is only able to determine the following bit rates:...
Page 65
Valid values are: NONE, CTS, RTS, DSR, or DTR. The value defined here lets the LinkUp 5294 know which RS-232C signal to watch in order to determine when the device attached to its port is ready for operation. Consult Table 7-1 before defining a value for...
Valid values are: YES or NO. When YES is defined here, the LinkUp 5294 moves the cursor to the next System/3X input field after it reaches the end of the field it is currently in, providing the field has been defined for auto-exit on your 3X host.
Page 67
LSID. The correct value for this parameter depends on what the designated LSID is on your System/3X host. Once this value is set, the LinkUp 5294 is able to establish a communications link between your 3X host and one or more of its LUs.
Page 68
When NONE is specified no password is defined, and the LinkUp 5294 cannot restrict anyone from accessing the configured LU. Whenever a password is defined at this parameter, the LinkUp 5294 can also offer you a second level of password protection, called a Reconnect Password. A Reconnect Password allows the LinkUp 5294 to restrict access to your LU (so that only you can re-access it, since you alone know the specified password) in the event the LU session is interrupted due to a physical or logical disconnection;...
Page 69
(one experiencing no keyboard input or host output) and an LU session. If an inactivity time limit is reached, the LinkUp 5294 responds by clearing your screen and displaying the following message before returning you to Connect Mode:...
Page 70
Valid values are: YES or NO. If your application requires the LinkUp 5294 to echo characters and control codes back to your attached ASCII devices, specify YES at this parameter. If this is not the requirement, as when using the COMPU module, specify NO.
The value defined here lets the LinkUp 5294 know which physical synchronous port the LU under configuration is assigned to. The 32 LUs available on the LinkUp 5294 may be assigned in whatever way your application requires. For example, if you require two synchronous ports to emulate two remote controllers, you may divide the LUs between the two in any combination you wish.
Page 72
LSID. The correct value for this parameter depends on what the designated LSID is on your System/3X host. Once this value is set, the LinkUp 5294 is able to establish a communication link between your 3X host and one or more of its LUs.
Page 73
It will be up to you to set proper forms length, etc., at the printer. If the parameter is set to YES, the LinkUp 5294 sends the proper number of Line Feeds to the printer to emulate a Form Feed when Form Feed is received from the host, regardless of the forms length set by the SVF command or the capabilities of the printer.
Whenever you reconfigure a synchronous port you must perform a hardware reset in order to reinitialize it. This may be accomplished by powering the LinkUp 5294 off and back on again, or by using the Remote Reset function in the System Management Mode options menu.
Setup Mode resets all Configurator Mode parameters to their factory default values. Use Setup Mode when you are changing the number of asynchronous ports, or if you wish to convert a LinkUp 5294 to a Link Up 3174 (or vice versa). When upgrading the LinkUp firmware PROM cartridge, it is only necessary to go through Setup Mode when the release notice accompanying the upgrade specifies that it must be done.
Page 76
DALYNX and SETUP are valid passwords, as shipped from the factory. 8. When the message appears telling you to reset the LinkUp 5294, all ports and LUs will have been set to their factory default parameters in EEPROM. Return the RUN/SETUP switch to the RUN position by taking the appropriate actions as described in Step 2.
LINKUP 5294 WITH DL5294 FIRMWARE 8. Packet Network Access Applications Packet Network Access support allows the LinkUp 5294 to be used in X.25 and other network environments facilitating transmission of asynchronous data. The LinkUp 5294 is located between the IBM host computer and the host PAD (Packet Assembler-Disassembler), as shown in Figure 8-1. The host PAD provides the interface between the LinkUp 5294 and the X.25 network.
A = Press the Up Arrow key. Up Arrow keycode goes to the LinkUp 5294. B = The LinkUp 5294 echoes the Up Arrow to the display (or in some cases sends a cursor address) and the cursor is repositioned.
Page 79
D = The host processes the command. Then appropriate data and an unlock keyboard command is sent to the LinkUp 5294. E = The LinkUp 5294 sends the data and a cursor positioning command to the display, and then unlocks the keyboard.
When using PADs, a transmission delay can occur between the terminal and the LinkUp 5294. If there is a delay between the time you press the <CMD 3> key and the time the LinkUp 5294 locks the keyboard, it is possible for you to continue typing. You are ahead of the host computer, which is going to send cursor-positioning information.
Ignore break from LinkUp 5294 Normal data delivery No padding after CR 10:0 No line folding 11:x Baud rate (x corresponds to LinkUp 5294 port) 12:1 PAD accepts X-ON/X-OFF from LinkUp 5294 13:0 No LF insertion 14:0 No padding after LF...
Also, when using one of the generic PNA options (1 or 2), nondisplay fields such as passwords will display due to local echo by the PAD. <SCREEN REFRESH> should be entered immediately after keying data in a non-display field, causing the LinkUp 5294 to remove it from the display. Other fields may then be completed as needed.
If a program execution fails, the LinkUp 5294 alerts you with an Error Code display. Error Code displays and Communication Line Status indicators are the LinkUp 5294 front panel LEDs. Each one of these will be discussed in the next two sections.

Prior to the execution of the continuous background testing by the LinkUp 5294 Watchdog Timer, a series of preliminary self-tests is performed every time your LinkUp 5294 unit is powered on. These tests enable the LinkUp 5294 to assure you that its vital parts (ports, memory, programs, etc.) are in working order.
• LU Type — Corresponds to the system LU Type 7 (display) or 4 (SCS printer). • Status — The operating state of each LinkUp 5294 LU; for example, P for an LU which is pending disconnection, D for an LU which is disconnected, I for one being used, R for one that has been disconnected but can be reconnected, and U for an undefined LU.
Page 88
6. Ensure that a hardware reset has been performed since the last synchronous port changes were made. The Host is polling the LinkUp 5294, but the terminal does not receive a sign-on screen. Or instead, a 0099 error occurs. 1. Confirm that the host is indeed on-line. If yours is a remote connection, this necessitates calling the host and the LinkUp 5294 site.

CHAPTER 10: Emulation Capabilities 10. Emulation Capabilities The LinkUp 5294 emulates an IBM 525l model 12 Remote Workstation Controller, 5294 or 5394 Remote Cluster Controller. It is designed with a variety of Terminal and Printer Modules to let virtually any ASCII terminal or printer communicate with an AS/400 host computer as if it were actual IBM 5251 model 11 or 529x Workstation or 52xx Printers.
Page 91
Status Line in columns 64 through 79 of the 25th line is sometimes unable to display at the proper times. As this part of the Status Line is displayed only in the event of an error between the LinkUp 5294 and the System/3X this limitation should be of little or no consequence to you.
Page 92
CHAPTER 10: Emulation Capabilities Special Control Keys • Delete deletes the character over the cursor and moves all remaining characters in the field one position to the left. • Erase Input clears all non-bypass fields you have modified. • Error Reset clears your terminal of the following conditions: (l) insert mode, (2) error messages, usually displayed on row 24, or (3) a system request state, as when SYS REQ is pressed.

(Emulation Mode). However, unlike Initialize Terminal it resets the LinkUp 5294 port your terminal is connected to. When your terminal is connected to the LinkUp 5294 by a modem, this function will cause the modem to hang up, disconnecting your terminal. Again, when this function is invoked the host is informed that the terminal has been powered off.
11. Hardware and Software Requirements This chapter describes the various ASCII terminal and printer types supported by the LinkUp 5294 and recommends which Terminal and Printer Module to use with each. General switch or configuration settings for your terminal, printer, or modem (if a remote connection must be established with the LinkUp 5294 ) are also reviewed.

If you are using an ASCII printer, be sure to confirm that the switch settings of the printer match those defined in the LinkUp 5294; for example, the RS-232C line signals for physical flow control (Not Busy Signal) and device ready (online signal), or the printer's logical flow control code.
EBCDIC to ASCII translation for all output to a keyboard/CRT or printer. For keyboard input, the ASCII 0 to 1F hex values are implemented by the LinkUp 5294 as valid for 5250 keyboard function sequences only; this means they are used in a string of characters only to emulate 5250 keyboard functions, such as ENTER, CMD 1 through 24, etc.
