MANUAL REVISION HISTORY Model 990 Computer DX10 Paller Operations Manual (2302679-9701) Original Issue ................................... 1 November 1981 , The total number of pages in this publication is 196. ~------------------------------- Preface This manual provides operating instructions to the operator, and planning and installation instruc­ tions for the network administrator. The operators portion of this manual includes instructions and procedures for operating the Poller, as well as descriptions of operator commands. The in­ tended audience for this portion of the manual is an operator familiar with operation of the DX10 operating system in a Model 990 Computer and with operation of Model 990 Computer peripheral devices. The operator is not necessarily trained in computer science or. programming. The administators portion of this manual provides information for a network administrator or systems analyst who plans, installs, and modifies the Poller network. The network administrator must be a systems programmer familiar with DX10 and with communications systems. Specifically, com­ munications systems include the DX10 3780 Emulator and DX10 Bubble Memory Terminal Support (BMTS). The network administrator should also be familiar with the TIBOL language and applica­ tions, and the Model 763, 765, 767, and 769 Bubble Memory Terminals. The DX10 Poller collects data from and distributes data to intelligent terminals using switched lines. It executes under a DX10 operating system (Release 3.4.0 or later) and uses either 3780 or TTY protocol. The Poller can also perform limited proceSSing of communicated data. The manual contains the following sections and appendixes and a glossary of Poller terms: Section 1 Overview - Presents an overview of the DX10 Poller application software. This section contains information for both operators and network administrators. 2 DX10 Operations - Describes the execution of the Poller. This section contains infor­ mation for both operators and network administrators. 3 Operator Instructions - Describes operator commands and shows command formats. The commands described in this section control the Poller and its communication lines, specify and define manual operation of a line, perform transfers of data between media of the system, and display status information. This section contains operator information. 4 Network Administrator Instructions - Describes commands the network administrator uses to define the network to be polled. Specifically, these commands create, modify, delete, display, and print the data structures that define the network to the Poller. This section contains network administrator information. 5 Network Implementation - Provides worksheets to assist the network administrator in specifying the line hardware, memory, and disk space required for the Poller network. Also describes system generation requirements. This section contains network administrator information. 2302679·9701 iii Preface Appendix A Summary of Poller Commands - Lists the Poller commands in a table. B Poller ErrorlStatus Messages and Error Recovery - Lists in a table the error and status messages issued by the Poller. Includes descriptions of status and error messages and of recovery procedures for error conditions. C Remote Terminal Characteristics - Describes the characteristics of the terminals in the Poller network in terms of options required. D ASCII Code Chart - Lists the characters of the ASCII code in a table. E ASCII/EBCDIC Conversion - Lists the characters of the ASCII code with the corre­ sponding characters of the EBCDIC code. F Communications Cabling Diagrams - Shows cabling diagrams for interconnecting ter­ minals, modems, automatic calling units (ACUs), and data access arrangements to pro­ vide Poller network communications.

The computers offered in this agreement, as well as the programs that TI has created to use with them, are tools that can help people better manage the information used in their business; but tools - including TI computers - cannot replace sound judgment nor make the manager's business decisions. Consequently, TI cannot warrant that its systems are suitable for any specific customer application. The manager must rely on judgment of what is best for his or her business. Preface The DX10 3270 Interactive Communications Software (lCS) provides a 990 family computer with the DX10 operating system to emulate the operation of a subset of the IBM .3270 Information Display System. This emulation allows an ICS-supported video terminal, or any DX10-supported sequential output device, to receive data from an IBM host application program. When an ICS display station receives the data, the operator can read, delete, or modify it, then send it back to the host application.

DESCRIPTORS Adults; *Computer Oriented Programs; *Computer Software; Disabilities; Facility Manning; Information Networks; *Information Sources; Mental Health Programs; Mental Retardation; Program Development; *Rehabilitation Centers; *Rehabilitation Programs; *Resources ", ABSTRACT This directory represents the culmination of a national research project designed to assess the extent to which computer technology is being integrated into rehabilitation facility operations. The directory is divided into six major sections. The first section is a research summary that provides a concise description of how the information included in the direct9xy was derived. It contains ipformation regarding training needs experienced by most facilities, cost of implementing computerized operations, problem areas frequently experienced by facilities, software applications, and so on. Section 2 provides an introduction to computer use as well as applications that specifically apply to many facility operations. Of particular interest may be the information describing the key steps involved in selecting a system for a facility as well as integrating it into existing operations. Sections 3,4, and 5 are designed primarily to provide readers with specific information on the hardware being used by facilities, software ratings, names and addresses of agencies and contact persons willing to share their expertise, and related information.
