This product allows HP 1000 users to send and receive files (jobs) from remote job entry subsystems on IBM and IBM plug-compatible hosts. The job entry subsystems that are supported currently are JES3, JES4, and HASP II. Contact your support engineer for the latest list of supported job entry subsystems. RJE/1000-II also enables HP 1000 users to transfer files with other computers that have accurately implemented the 2780/3780 protocol. This capability is supported on the HP 1000, HP 3000, and HP 9000 computers (RJE/1000-II only on the HP 1000 computers). Interactive Use RJE/1000-II allows users to interactively send and receive files using a set of powerful but simple commands. In addition, RJE/1000-II gives powerful diagnostic tools to trace and check status. Additional tools are provided to abort and route HP 1000 destinations for files which are already in transmission. Custom Interface 10 RJE/1000-II may be invoked from a user's program. It will return status parameters to the calling program. This gives the user the flexibility to design custom interfaces to suit his own needs. Optionally, the user may write special programs that send and receive files via RJE/1000-II, allowing unattended operation. On completion of transmission RJE/1000-II can schedule a program to handle the file received. The program scheduled will run independently of RJE/1000-II and perform post processing upon received file; eg, route files to the appropriate device or program as required. Flexible Usage RJE/1000-II allows multiple users to send and receive files through one copy of executing code. The users may send multiple requests, which are queued up for transmission. Data files may be binary or ASCII. RJE/1000-II performs automatic data conversion of ASCII to EBCDIC for transmission; it also converts received data from EBCDIC to ASCII. Automatic queuing and data conversion provide a user-friendly interface. Distributed Processing RJE/1000-II uses a microprocessor-based intelligent I/O card to handle the bisync protocol to the host computer. This Programmable Serial Interface (PSI) card offloads much of the I/O handling and task scheduling, thus lowering CPU usage and increasing effective throughput. Functional Specifications Workstations The following IBM workstations are emulated: o 2780 o 3780 Remote Systems The host computer must run with one of the following job entry subsystems using bisync contention protocol: o JES2 o JES3 o HASP II or o HP 3000 with RJE o HP 9000 with RJE, Series 300 only o HP 1000 with RJE/1000-II Please contact your SE for the latest list of supported systems. Communications Link The Communications Link must have the following features: o Switched or nonswitched o Up to 19,2000 bps 2780/3780 ProtocolĞ(EBCDIC and Transparent line codes are supported, ASCII line code is not supported) o Binary synchronous contention protocol o Point-to-point lines Modems Supported 11 Connection to the communications line is made through a modem obtained and installed independently of RJE/1000-II. One modem links the Programmable Serial Interface card in the HP 1000 and the communications line. Another modem connects the communications line to the host computer. The modems must be compatible with each other and must be strapped properly. The following modems are supported: o Bell 201C (2400 bps) o Bell 208A (4800 bps) o Bell 208B (4800 bps) o Bell Dataphone II 2024 (2400 bps) o Bell Dataphone II 2096 (9600 bps) Modems operating at 19.2 Kbps may be used if they meet the following criteria: 1.Provide, transmit, and receive clocks for the PSI card 2.Ensure ground isolation between the communicating systems 3.Support the DTR, DSR, RTS, CTS, CD, and RI handshake signals RJE/1000-II Commands The following commands are supported by RJE/1000-II: Command Description ________________________________________________________________________ Send Send a file to remote site ________________________________________________________________________ Route Route file to another HP 1000 output (file classification) ________________________________________________________________________ Trace Modify trace control and remote logfile ________________________________________________________________________ Status Check status of monitor, PSI card, or data link ________________________________________________________________________ Abort Stop data transmission or reception ________________________________________________________________________ Close Drop data communications link and terminate Product Requirements o An HP 1000 E/F-Series or A-Series disk-based system o RTE-6/VM for E/F-Series; RTE-A for A-Series (rev 2340 or later) o PSI card (see hardware requirements for details) o Switched or nonswitched bisync line to the host computer o Matched compatible modems o A supported job entry subsystem configured to emulate a 2780/3780 workstation o Enough memory on the HP 1000 for work area, program area, memory area, and the operating system: 128 Kbytes minimum (66 Kbytes for RJE/1000-II plus 16 Kbytes per user) Installation and Customer Responsibilities Installation is not included with RJE/1000-II. It is the responsibility of the customer to install the product. HP will provide installation service at the prevailing service rates. 12 Installation of all communication facilities (cables and modems) and their connection to the HP 1000 computer systems for RJE/1000-II is the customer's responsibility. The establishment of successful communication between the HP 1000 computer system running RJE/1000-II and the host computer is the customer's responsibility. Prior to the customer's installation of RJE/1000-II on the HP 1000, the customer is responsible for installation of a switched or nonswitched bisync communications line between the HP 1000 and the host computer. This line must be matched with a pair of modems that are compatible with RJE/1000-II at each end of the line. The customer should verify the functioning of the line and modems. Prior to installation of RJE/1000-II the customer should install the necessary host computer system software and hardware to support RJE/1000-II. The customer should ensure that the host software is compatible with RJE/1000-II and consistent with the specifications of RJE/1000-II. Modifications may prevent operation of RJE/1000-II. Hewlett-Packard does not warrant the successful operation of RJE/1000-II if modifications have been made.
