When used in conjunction with the Model 860 cartridge, the 4201 or 4202 combines all side-by-side diacritic/alpha combinations and prints them in a single space. Model Abstract 3163-861The IBM 3163 Model 861 provides the ability to display all diacritic/alpha combinations used in 25 languages in a single display position. Combinations in other languages are displayed side-by-side. The Model 861 includes the new ALA keyboard. Printer support is provided by the 4201 or 4202 with the same ability to combine characters. Highlights
DescriptionThe 3163 displays up to 1,920 characters, 24 rows of 80 characters each. An alphameric character is represented in an 8 x 16 contiguous box matrix. The data displayed uses the 128 characters of ASCII/ISO codes and an additional character set containing 24 line drawing graphics, 10 superscript characters and 10 subscript characters. A line drawing character is represented in a maximum 8 x 16 dot matrix to create a contiguous line. The character transmission mode provides the capability to transmit a character over a communication line upon depression of each key. The block transmission mode, selectable at setup time, allows buffered transmission mode of data. The 3163 consists of the three Workstation Elements (Video, Logic, and Keyboard) and Cartridge. Communications The use of ASCII (ISO) codes and the asynchronous communication interface allows the 3163 to attach to a variety of host processors. Various communication options are selectable by the customer on the setup menu such as line speed (50, 75, 110, 134.5, 150, 200, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 3600, 4800, 7200, 9600 and 19,200 bps), parity (None, Odd, Even, Mark, Space), interface (EIA RS-232-C (CCITT V.24/V.28), EIA RS-422-A (CCITT V.11)), word length (7, 8-bit), operation mode (echo, character, block mode), turn-around character (ETX, EOT, CR, DC3), line control (CRTS, PRTS, IPRTS), stop bit (1, 2), response delay (0, 100ms) and break signal (170, 500ms). The 3163 provides XON/XOFF Control. Operator Factors The 3163 has an etched screen, which minimizes glare and fingerprints. Indicators are displayed under the divider scan on the bottom (25th row) of the screen, and provide useful operator information. An audible alarm is provided to alert the operator, and its volume is adjustable by the operator. The video element can be tilted and swiveled by the pedestal to set the screen angle for the operator. The cable-connected keyboard can be moved and its slope is selectable. Input Editing Capability Cursor move (up, down, right, left, and home), tab (forward, backward, set and clear), erase (end of line, end of page and entire page), clear (entire page and entire buffer), insert (character and line) and delete (character and line) are provided. Tab erase, insert and delete may be manipulated by field attribute. All characters can be rendered by character or field attributes. A 12-key numeric keypad and 12 Function (F) keys are provided on the keyboard. Data Stream in Nonemulation Mode The 3163 models generate an ISO 646 (ANSI X3.4) data stream. The native mode of 3163 is a superset of 3161 ASCII Display Station, and provides a migration path for the 3161 users without any software modifications. 3101 Compatibility and Migration The 3101 emulation mode of the 3163 US English (12Y/22Y), UK English (12E/22E), French (12F/22F), German (12G/22G), Italian (12H/22H) and Spanish (12Q/22Q) models provides an enhanced 3101 functions and a migration path for 3101 users without any software modifications. When operating in 3101 emulation mode, the 3163 will accept and generate the 3101 Model 23 and Model 881 data stream. There are some operational differences in terms of the screen management facilities. "IBM 3161/3163 ASCII Display Station Description Manual" documents these differences. Emulation Modes in Models 3101 mode of the 3163 |EMEA>US English (12Y/22Y), UK English (12E/22E), French (12F/22F), German (12G/22G), Italian (12H/22H) and Spanish (12Q/22Q) models provides emulation of 3101 model 881 23. Emulation Modes in Features Additional Read Command feature (#8003) provides the 3163 US English native mode with complete read command options that 3101 has supported in block mode. There are some operational differences such as keyboard layout and how to set up the machine. The Models 860 and 861 are special application models. The 860/861 inout, display and print (to 4201/4202 Proprinter) all characters contained in the Extended American Library Association (ALA) character set. Mon-green video model only is available. The keyboard and cartridge are unique. Communication Interfaces The 3163 communicates with a variety of host processors. When using the EIA RS-232-C (CCITT V.24/V.28) interface, the 3163 can directly attach to a host processor within 12.2m (40.0 ft) at 50 - 19,200 bps, or can communicate point-to-point to a remote host processor through an external modem. The 3163 Models 12X/22X can communicate with the host processor, without a modem, up to 1,219m (4,000 ft.) at 50 - 19,200 bps depending on the type of cable used when using the EIA RS-422-A (CCITT V.11) interface. For RS-422-A, a shielded communication cable is recommended. A multifunction attachment cable, an accessory, is used to attach a 3163 to the host via IBM Cabling System. Modems 5841, 5842 and PTT mandatory modems complying with CCITT Recommendation (1979) V.24, V.28, ISO Standard 2110 and either CCITT Recommendations V.21, V.22, V.22bis or V.23 may be attached. Other non-IBM modems may be attached subject to the Multiple Supplier Systems Bulletin. A modem cable is required for the attachment to a modem. As an alternative to a modem attachment, the 3163 may be directly connected to a ROLM CBX at speeds up to 19.2K bps through one of the following devices with RS-232-C (CCITT V.24/28) interface: ROLMphone Datacom Module (DCM), Data Terminal Interface (DTI), rack-mounted version of the DCM or DTI. The types and speed of currently available modems with which the 3163 operates include:
For communication capabilities, product utilization and special features, see 2700 pages. The 3163 may be attached to packet switched networks through the PAD complying with the CCITT recommendation X.28 via DCEs with CCITT X.20bis interface. Auxiliary Port An auxiliary interface is provided for attachment of an input or output device with EIA RS-232-C (CCITT V.24/V.28). The 4201/4202 Proprinter may be attached at the Auxiliary Port. Cables The customer is responsible for preparation of cables. Many IBM systems require unique cables for 3163 attachment and those systems should be referenced for detail information. A 3m (10 ft.) modem cable is provided as an IBM accessory for use in attaching the 3163 to certain devices (specifically modems). A 1.5m (5 ft.) (or 1.2m (4 ft.) in EMEA), I/O cable is provided as an IBM accessory for attaching the 4201 or 4202 Proprinter. Printers The 3163 has an auxiliary port that can connect an ASCII printer over an RS-232-C direct connection. A print key allows local printing of the screen, while the software commands allow remote printing from a host. For example, the 4201/4202 Proprinter may attach via its serial (RS-232-C) interface to the 3163 for direct printing of text-oriented screens (or graphics and text via host programming). Security Facilities A special nondisplayed input mode provides for fields of data to be program-defined so that they will accept data entered from the keyboard without displaying the data on the screen.
