Viii 3174 Installation Guide
Preface
This document provides an introduction to the IBM 3174 Establishment
Controller. It describes the main components of the machine and microcode
with emphasis on new features.
This edition is the result of several residencies at the ITSC Raleigh. Much of
the content results directly from installing and testing different configurations of
the 3174.
This document has been written for systems engineers and technical members
of customer organizations involved in the installation, customization and
maintenance of the IBM 3174 Establishment Controller.
A very basic knowledge of IBM 3270 Information Display System has been
assumed.
The document is organized as follows:
1. Introduction to the IBM 3174 Establishment Controller
This chapter offers a brief history of the evolution of the 3174 Controller
from the first 3274 Control Unit up to the current range of machines. The
various models available and the features, both hardware and microcode
are introduced.
2. Pre-Installation Planning
This chapter discusses the several tasks that when completed prior to
installation of the 3174, contribute to the smooth installation of the
controller.
3. Installation
This chapter discusses the physical installation of the IBM 3174
Establishment Controller hardware.
4. Microcode and Customization
This chapter describes the 3174 microcode and discusses its customization
and installation.
5. The Token-Ring attaching models of the IBM 3174.
This chapter covers the 3174 attached to a Token-Ring Network and
presents such topics as performance, connectivity, customization,
backup/recovery and considerations when installing them in different
environments such as VM/SP, MVS and VSE.
6. 3174 X.25 Support
Major aspects concerned with the 3174 working in a X.25 environment are
documented here. Different scenarios of the 3174 with X.25 support are
presented to the user.
