- TRANSITION OF IBM/SNA NETWORKS TO THE DEFENSE DATA
- NETWORK (DDN-MCDN/ASIMS/DLA NET
-
- MCDN-DDN Integration testing continued at the COMTEN (St. Paul, MN)
- Lab during the month of August. The COMTEN Lab Team has developed
- fixes to address identified problems. COMTEN has tested and evaluated
- a number of response time problems and solutions and will prepare a
- white paper for the Marine Corps, with a BBN chop, for delivery
- sometime in mid-to late September.
-
- The MCDN will install a new COMTEN software release the first of
- October 86. As there has been a sizeable number of software fixes to
- this and other COMTEN software products, COMTEN recommended and HQMC
- and DDN PMO office agree that MCDN-DDN integration testing will return
- to the DDN after these software upgrades.
-
- It has been proven that IBM/SNA systems can run over DDN. Vendor
- specific/PSN specific software problems have been identified and
- corrected. The Army's ASIMS problem is transitioning to the DDN with
- the corrected software installation. (LtCol Mike
- Tallent/DCA/B64l/285-5027)

- (U) CENTCOM TRANSPORTABLE WWMCCS HOST (T-HOST) INITIAL
- ACTIVATION AND TRIALS IN PREPARATION FOR GALLANT EAGLE
-
- The DCS Data Systems Directorate is responsible for development,
- maintenance and operation of the WWMCCS Communications Subsystem
- (WINCS). We were asked to review CENTCOM requirements and advise them
- of the most appropriate method of meeting those needs. Several
- meetings and technical discussions resulted in a mutually agreeable
- connection scheme.
-
- B6OO was asked to prepare and activate a secondary T-Host access line
- to the WINCS entirely on MacDill AFB via local wire plant, a primary
- T-Host to access line to the WINCS via satellite, and a gallant eagle
- exercise circuit to the WINCS. The secondary line was established
- early and allowed the T-Host to be tested "in-garrison" prior to
- exercise deployment. The exercise circuit was established and the
- first successful connecton of a transportable WWMCCS host was
- accomplished.
-
- It is important to note that the entire scope of this effort embraced
- innovative elements. There were many firsts established and
- engineering precedent set by this project. Each implementation problem
- was resolved as encountered. The final result was successful
- connection to the WWMCCS by a fully transportable, field deployable,
- WWMCCS host computer. Continuation from this initial phase will result
- in WINCS establishing a "Hot Port" concept ready to support the
- CENTCOM T-Host either for future exercises or upon actual contingency.

- For new nodes and upgrades, we are now surveying for standard DDN
- classified and unclassified node suites of equipment. The Unclas Node
- consists of 2 KG racks, 1 processor rack with IMP and TAC, and 2 Comm
- Racks - the entire suite requiring a footprint of 9 by 12 feet, 200
- pair signal cable, and 3 - 20 AMP, 115VAC circuits. The Clas Node
- consists of 2 KG racks, a processor rack with Tempest IMP and TAC, and
- 1 Comm Rack - the Clas Suite occupying a 9 by 12 feet footprint,
- including a 3 feet separation between the processor and Comm cabinets.
- The Clas Node requires 100-pair signal cabling and 3 115VAC power
- lines with 20 AMP capacity. (LTC Ray Toland/DCA Code B642/285-5018)

-
- OVERDUE HIGH SPEED ACCESS
-
- Due to the non-availability of 56KB and non-tarrif 50 KB wideband
- service by the local Bell Operating Companies (BOCs), the DDN TCO has
- cancelled the longoverdue orders through DECCO to the vendors. These
- requests were for DDN Trunks and host connections that could not be
- fulfilled. As an interim solution, the DDN TCO will issue 19.2KB/9.6KB
- trunk orders until such time as other high speed access can be
- obtained to support the IMP to IMP requirements (Trunks). The DDN TCO
- has also identified to the Service O&M TCOs, host requirements that
- could not be fulfilled and requested that they review the user's
- requirements and either amend the original requirements by TSRs to
- reflect an alternate lower speed or cancel the requirement in its
- entirety to the DDN TCO.
-
- To preclude additional paperwork and lost time, the DDN TCO is
- requesting that all Service TCOs provide alternate lower speed
- requirements in the TSRs in case 56KB service can not be obtained
- through the vendors. (Mr. Ron Gutschmidt/ DCA Code B643/285-5100)
