1 Switch
Some terminals are connected indirectly to the VAX through two
intelligent switches similar to the phone system.  They allow automatic
switching of VAX ports to those who need them.

The 'MICOM SWITCH' is a commercial product that can interconnect
arbitrary terminals to arbitrary computers all over the UW campus.
See HELP SWITCH MICOM.

The 'CHEM SWITCH' frequently referred to here as 'The Switch'
was designed by the UW Chemistry Department and
allows up to 112 terminals to connect to 32 computer ports.
It depends on the users turning their terminals off when not logged in.
Please log off when you aren't actually using the VAX.
PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR TERMINAL WHEN NOT LOGGED IN.
If you accidentally turn off your terminal before logging out, you will
automatically be logged out.
2 MICOM
The 'MICOM SWITCH' is a commercial product that can interconnect
arbitrary terminals to arbitrary computers all over the UW campus.
3 Trouble
If you have problems getting the Micom Switch prompt:
   Press the BREAK key 3 times between 1 and 2 seconds apart to
      disconnect any connection the MICOM has made.
   Press the RETURN key.  The Micom guesses your terminal's baud rate.
   If garbage appears, the MICOM has guessed the wrong baud rate,
      so you must repeat the above procedure.
   If the baud rate is correct, the MICOM will either prompt you
      so you can tell it what connection to make, or it will
      automatically connect you.

   Under certain circumstances a Chem switch terminal will be disconnected
      'with prejudice' without the customary warning to turn off your
      terminal (though there should be a 'MICOM disconnecting' message.
      This is unavoidable when the Micom times out and FREELINES runs.
      If your terminal does not respond after 3 BREAKs,
      try turning it off for 30 seconds.  

3 Connect
When your terminal is wired to the Micom Switch, you press RETURN
to allow the MICOM to autobaud.  It will then prompt you or automatically
connect your terminal to a 'Resource' as determined by the System Manager.
See HELP SWITCH MICOM RESOURCES for a list of choices for connecting.
3 Disconnect
To disconnect the current connection that the Micom has made for you,
press the BREAK key 3 times between 1 and 2 seconds apart.
The Micom will display a message "MICOM disconnecting" and allow you
to press RETURN to get the MICOM prompt or automatic connection.
The VAX should log you out automatically if you disconnect.
If you log out, the MICOM should disconnect automatically.
3 Baud_rates
BEWARE !   conspicuously absent are 7200, 3600

The MICOM allows the following baud rates
 19200  needs SPACE character to autobaud (not currently allowed here)
  9600
  4800  needs SPACE character to autobaud (not currently allowed here)
  2400
  1200
   600
   300
   200
   150
   134
   110

3 General
The MICOM 6000 switch is more intelligent than the CHEM switch
and can present a menu and allow you to chose your connection.

People already on the CHEM switch were automatically connected
via the MICOM switch at no extra charge
because the 32 output ports from the CHEM switch will be rewired into
the MICOM switch instead of going directly to PHAST:.

Other Computer ports and terminals to the MICOM switch will be
charged a one-time connection fee of approximately $80 per connection
to cover the cost of additional labor or hardware in the MICOM.

3 MICOM_CONTROL
Runs on PHAST:: as process MICOM_CONTROL to control the Micom Switch.
The System Manager can talk to the Micom via the MICOM program and
MICOM_CONTROL.  Users talk to the Micom via SETTERM, TERMINALS and LOCATE
which all talk via MICOM_CONTROL.
3 Resources
Sets of identical destination channels that you can connect to are called
Resource Classes.  Resource classes have names that you type at the Micom
prompt to tell the Micom that you want to connect to that resource class.
Some of these resource classes may be restricted to certain users
or terminals or access groups.
Current resource classes:
PHAST   PHAST::  Physics/Astronomy Department VAX 11/780
APHAST  PHAST::  Altypeahead for file transfer
UWAPA1  UWAPA1:: High Energy Physics MicroVAX II
JANUS   JANUS::  Astronomy MicroVAX II
UWAPA2  UWAPA2:: Particle Theory 

ACS     Academic Computer Services Micom (8 ports)
ADPaaa  Academic Data Processing Burroughs (restricted)
SLAC    Stanford Linear Accelerator Micom (3 9600 baud, one 1200 baud)
MODEM   NOT YET IMPLEMENTED dial-out modems (local calls unless HOST)

3 ACC
Academic Computer CENTER is an obsolete name for
Academic Computer SERVICES.  See HELP SWITCH MICOM ACS .
3 ACS
University of Washington Academic Computer Services Micom access
is available.  The Resource Class is ACS .  You will be prompted by
the ACS Micom asking you which ACS computer you wish to connect to.
There are many unlisted computers available as well,
such as the Computer Science Unix computers and Chemistry.
There can be up to 8 simultaneous users.
3 ADP
Academic Data Processing access is restricted to authorized users
only.  There is a separate ADP port for each ADP user.
There is a separate Resource Class for each ADP user to
verify the physical location of those users for security reasons.
A user is given a Resource Class name to use to access the
particular ADP port assigned.
The Resource Class names will have the form
ADPaaa      where 'aaa' are usually the initials of the user.
There may also be a password for further verification.

You must contact the Academic Data Processing Department to enable
various data bases for use at your terminal.
3 APHAST
The Resource Class APHAST represents connections to
PHAST:: ports with SET TERMINAL/ALTYPEAHD making a bigger typeahead
buffer on the VAX than normal.  This is intended to improve file-transfer
accuracy between PHAST and microcomputers.  Please use APHAST  ONLY  when
you expect to do file transfers and ONLY if you have difficulty using
the PHAST Resource Class for file transfer.
3 SLAC
The Stanford Linear Accelerator Micom is accessable via a multiplexer
connected to our Micom switch.  Your terminal MUST have EVEN parity set.
It is no longer possible to use HOST on PHAST:: to connect to SLAC,
though that may be a possibility later.
There are 3 9600 baud connections intended for normal use.  There
is one 1200 baud connection intended for dial-in use.  The correct
baud rate port will automatically be used.
Its Resource Class is SLAC.
3 Abbreviations
Instead of using the full resource names, you may use abbreviations
for some of the more common ones.  Current abbreviations allowed are:
 P for PHAST
 1 for UWAPA1
 J for JANUS
 2 for UWAPA2
 M for MODEM  (not implemented at this time)
3 Details
    The Micom Switch is a microcomputer allowing up to 1000 terminals
and computers to be connected in arbitrary arrangements decided by
the users.

A terminal on the Micom Switch must first let the Micom guess the
terminal's baud rate.  Press the RETURN key.  The Micom will
examine the character and decide what baud rate it was sent at.
The Micom will then send its menu and/or prompt to the terminal.

You can then choose what you want to be connected to.  
You type the name of the 'resource class' you want and press RETURN.
If you press RETURN without naming a resource class, you will be
connected to PHAST .
The classes will eventually include
PHAST,UWAPA1,JANUS,UWAPA2,MODEM,2400CTS,2400VAD,ADPaaa,CRAY,
CYBER,VAX1,LOCKE8600,DEC10 and others.

If no Destination Group in that Resource Class is available, you will
be put in a queue waiting for an available Destination, and notified
when the connection is finally made.  During that wait, you may
press the BREAK key ONCE to cancel the wait and do something else.

Glossary:
Micom Switch
Calling Channel:   connected to your terminal
Called Channel:    connected to a computer port or modem
Access Group:      a group of similar Calling Channels
Destination Group: a group of similar Called Channels
Resource Class:    a group of similar Destination Groups

2 Freelines
When the chem switch ports are all occupied
but another terminal is turned on,
the CONTROL program runs the FREELINES program to disconnect all terminals
on which no-one is logged in.  This frees ports for the newly turned on
terminal unless someone is logged in to every connected terminal.  There
will be a delay of 40 seconds or more before this newly turned on terminal
gets service as FREELINES takes some time.

To get service again, the disconnected terminals must be turned off
for 30 seconds.
2 Control
Runs continuously (as process SWITCH_CONTROL) to control the switch.
Mainly logs connections and disconnections in a file.  It also can
disconnect terminals if no-one is logged in when VAX ports are needed.
The System Manager can talk to the switch via MANAGER and SWITCH_CONTROL.
Users talk in a limited way via the TERMINALS and LOCATE programs.
2 Details
    The Terminal Switch is a microcomputer designed by the U of W Chemistry
Department to allow up to 32 of 112 terminals to be connected to Micom ports.
It accomplishes this by continuously looking for terminals being turned on.
When it sees a positive voltage on pin 20 of your terminal, it knows you
want to log in.  It connects you to one of the available Micom ports.
If no ports are available, you will get no response for a while.
    If no ports are available, the control program will "disconnect with
prejudice" all terminals that are turned on but not logged in, attempting
make more free Micom ports available.  To get the switch's attention,
those disconnected terminals must be turned off for 30 seconds.
    The Switch does not allow more terminals to simultaneously talk
to the Micom than would be able to with direct connections, it just allows
unused terminals to be automatically disconnected, freeing their ports
for use elsewhere.
2 LOCATE
THIS PROGRAM CURRENTLY (7/19/86) IS CRIPPLED DUE TO CHANGES NECESSARY
FOR MICOM.  It is SLOW and does NOT allow USERNAME parameter.
Displays logged in users and their location even if on the switches.
Format:
! username not currently allowed due to changes for Micom
!	LOCATE  [username]
	LOCATE

Displays username, VAX port, wire routing, location, terminal type.
!If no username is given, displays all logged in users.
Displays all logged in users.
!3 Parameters
!username     optional parameter.  If given, all occurances of username
!will be given.  If no username is given, displays all logged in users.
2 Logout
        The switched terminals have SET TERMINAL/MODEM/HANGUP.
This allows VMS to automatically log out when users accidentally turn off
a terminal without logging out themselves.  It also disconnects the Micom
on LOGOUT or if your process is killed by ARGUS etc.
This may cause a problem if
you turn off the terminal in the middle of running a program.
There is also a rumor that the HOST program may interfere with the proper
operation of this feature and that it may not log you out some other times.
        This feature is necessary because the switch connects
the next user to the abandoned VAX port and would give him or her
access to the careless person's account if it were still logged on.
2 MANAGER
Used by the System Manager to talk to the switch via its CONTROL program.
Format:
        MANAGER
Switch Control Program Commands
Commands may be abbreviated to a unique string (2 char minimum).
        (beware RES_PREDJUDICE must be at least four characters to
        not be interpreted as RESTART)
Terminal and port numbers are always 2-digit hex (if one digit given,
        assumes SECOND digit is 0, not first).  Truncated if too big.
Control program becomes conversational if no command on command line and
        is a system UIC (groups 1 to 10) and PRMMBX, SYSNAM privileges.
3 REMOTE
Places control program in remote mode. In this mode all program
input is send directly to the switch without being interpreted by the
control program. Input is passed to the switch on a line at a time,
rather than character at a time, basis. Remote mode is cancelled by an
end-of-file (CTRL-Z) on the console device.  REMOTE does not seem to work
when in switch debug at least.
3 ECHO
All output from the switch is passed directly to the console without
interpretation by the control program. Switch output is passed to the
console on a line at a time basis. Echo mode is effect by default.
3 NOECHO
Echo mode is cancelled. Output from the switch is passed to the
console only after interpretation.
3 REC_ALL
Set record mode. All raw output from the switch is recorded in the
file SWITCH.LOG. A new copy of SWITCH.LOG is created if one is not
presently open.
3 REC_MESSAGES
Set record messages mode.  Records formatted connection and
connection failure reports in the SWITCH.LOG.  Creates if need.
3 NOREC_ALL
Record mode is cancelled.
3 NOREC_MESSAGES
Record messages mode is canceled.
3 CLOSE
The existing copy of SWITCH.LOG is closed. If remote mode is set
then a new version of the file is opened.
3 LOAD filename.ext
The named file is sent to the switch.
Default extension .OBJ .
3 COND_RELOAD filename.ext
If the switch's downloaded software is not
running, does a RESTART and sends named file to switch.
Default extension .OBJ .
3 RESTART
Sends a "break' signal to the switch causing it to perform a hardware
reset operation. After hardware reset the switch is running in the
loader ROM program.
3 DISCONNECT term#
Sends a command to the switch (designator 06) requesting
that the specified terminal be disconnected.
3 DIS_PREJUDICE term#
Sends a command to the switch (designator 09)
requesting that the specified terminal be disconnected and left in a
state such that it cannot be reconnected until such time as it has been
turned off and back on.
3 RES_PREJUDICE term#
Sends a command to the switch (designator 0A)
making the specified terminal available for connection even though it
was disconnected 'with prejudice' and has not yet been turned off.
3 SET
Sets terminal and port types.
4 T_TYPE term# type
Sends a command to the switch (designator 03)
requesting that the entry in the terminal table for the specified
terminal be set to the specified type.
4 P_TYPE port# type
Sends a command to the switch (designator 05)
requesting that the entry in the port table for the specified port
be set to the specified type.
4 LAST_PORT port#
Sends a command to the switch (designator 08) setting
the number of the last computer port available for use.
4 REP_FLAGS value
Sends a command to the switch (designator 07) setting
the report flags byte to the value specified.  Two digits needed.
BIT 0= 1	REPORT CONNECTIONS
BIT 1= 1	REPORT DISCONNECTIONS
BIT 2= 1	REPORT NO COMPUTER PORT AVAILABLE
4 SPAWN type
Sets the spawn flag for the specified type of terminal. IF
a connection failure report is received for a terminal of a type
for which the spawn flag is set then a subprocess will be spawned
running FREELINES.
This subprocess will search for connected terminals not actually owned
by processes on the VAX and disconnect them 'with prejudice' reguardless
of type.
4 NOSPAWN type
Clear the spawn flag for the specified terminal type.
3 SHOW
Displays terminal and port types.
4 T_TYPE term#
Sends a command to the switch (designator 02) to read
the terminal table. If no term# is specified then the entire contents of
the table are formatted and returned to the console. If term# is
specified then only the entry for that terminal is returned. The
format of the returned information is:
TERM XX TYPE=XX text
(text= "permanently connected", "permenantly disconnected" or null)
4 P_TYPE port#
Sends a command to the switch (designator 04) to read
the port table. If no port# is specified then the entire contents of
the table are formatted and returned to the console. If port# is
specified then only the entry for that port is returned.
The format of the returned information is:
PORT XX TYPE=XX text
(text= "disconnected" or null)
4 T_STATUS term#
Sends a command to the switch (designator 00) to
read the connection table. If no term# is specified then the entire
content of the table is returned to the console. If term#
is specified then only the entry for that terminal is formatted and
returned. The format of the returned information is:
TERM XX STATUS=XX disconnected
                  connected to PORT XX
                  forced disconnect in progress from PORT XX
4 P_STATUS port#
Sends a command to the switch (designator 01) to
read the control memory. If no port# is specified then the entire
content of the memory is returned to the console. If port# is
specified then only the entry for that port is returned. The
format of the returned information is:
PORT XX STATUS=XX disconnected
                  connected to TERM XX
3 ABORT
Causes control program to exit so there is no VAX-to-switch
communication.  But the switch continues running and its messages
may attempt to log in to the VAX ?
3 EXIT
Causes disconnection of user from control program.
2 News
AUG 15, 1986
Micom 478i board connecting 8 ports to the ACS Micom is working.
The old single port has been removed.  The resource class is still ACS.
Several boards on the Micom have been replaced attempting to eliminate
garbage character noise that occasionally occurred.  The three modems
connected to the Micom still are noisy for some people.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO REPORT NOISE in as much detail as reasonable
including your current connection (display with LOCATE or TERMINALS).

JUL 12, 1986
All PHAST and MicroVAX computer ports now disconnect Micom on LOGOUT.
It is possible to connect OUT to Micom from all computers via HOST on
PHAST::TTG0-7, UWAPA1::TTA0-3, JANUS::TXA0-3, UWAPA2::TXA0-3.
Micom grounding greatly improved.

JUN 24, 1986
Most computer ports now disconnect Micom on LOGOUT.

JUN 16, 1986
Most ADP people who had no direct connection to ADP, were connected
to the Micom preparatory to ADP access.  When ADP updates their
connection lists, these people will have access to ADP by typing
in a resource class name of the form ADPnnn   where 'nnn' is the
user's initials.  Old ADP people still have access via their
AB switches.  See HELP SWITCH MICOM ADP.

JUN 14, 1986
Dial-IN modems have been moved from TTA0:, TTA1:, TTA2: to Micom.
This allows you to use MicroVAXen from home without going through
PHAST:: (if you happen to get the right phone line).

JUN 12, 1986
PHAST, UWAPA1, JANUS, UWAPA2 all added to the Micom switch and are
accessable by name.  You now get a Micom prompt if you are on the
Chem switch.  TTH VAX ports and Chem switch ports are all on Micom.
SETTERM and FREELINES have been rewritten to accomodate the Micom.
This lets us make a general PHAST resource class and CHEM access group
on the Micom instead of connecting chem switch ports straight through
to the same old specific PHAST ports.
LOCATE and TERMINALS programs will not work for several days.
Dial IN modems and some ADP should also work next weekend.

MAY 26, 1986
The MICOM switch has been connected between the CHEM switch and PHAST:: .
The TTI0-TTI7, TTJ0-TTJ7 & TTK0-TTK7 ports on the VAX now service the
CHEM switch via the MICOM switch.  Connections are still made automatically
and ONLY to PHAST:: .  The LOCATE program still shows accurate connections.
During testing, some problems autobauding have been seen occasionally.
To clear, press BREAK key 3 times about 1 second apart, then press RETURN
key twice.

NOV 20, 1985
The switch has been expanded by Belonis and Furman to allow 112 terminals
by adding 21 chips to the existing circuit board and wirewrapping connections.

NOV 8, 1985
The switch filled for the second time.  Four new VAX ports have been added
to the switch to keep this from happening again.
 93 terminals (approx) and 27 VAX ports are connected to the switch.

OCT 21, 1985
The switch finally filled today.  All previous full switch conditions were
caused by switch software errors.  Today, however, the switch was working
properly, but all 23 VAX ports allocated to it were in use.  This week
several new VAX ports will be connected to the switch to help.
 85 terminals (approx) and 23 VAX ports are connected to the switch.

Oct 6, 1985
All switch ports are now connected to Able VMZ-32 (DMF-32 emulator)
port boards on the VAX.  This reduces VAX CPU interrupt load from the
switch terminals and speeds I/O.  We will be adding 8 more VAX ports
and 16 more terminals to the switch in the next month for a total of
 112 terminals and 32 VAX ports.

SEP 1, 1985
 23 VAX ports are connected to the switch.

JAN 8, 1985
Two major cables pulled between the switch and the computer room and
VTL and ASTRONOMY offices connected to the switch.

First floor south connected to switch.
 48 Terminals and 20 VAX ports currently on the switch.
 
APR 5
FREELINES finally proved its worth by disconnecting 5 terminals that were
not logged in but were turned on.  The switch needed more ports than were
available and operated properly to free some ports without disturbing
people who were logged in.
 39 Terminals and 17 VAX ports currently on the switch.
 
APR 1
Maximum of 12 switched terminals turned on simultaneously, far below the
limit of 17.  We still have NOT even disconnected any already logged out
terminals due to lack of ports.  The switch is statistically averaging
our port usage quite well even though there are several heavy users.
 
FEB 9
Maximum of 14 switched terminals turned on.  We should start running into
the limit of 16 pretty soon.  When the limit is reached, terminals turned on
but not logged in will be "disconnected with prejudice".  This means that
to get any response on these terminals, they will have to be turned off
for 30 seconds, then turned on again to let the VAX know you are serious.
 32 terminals and 16 ports.

The big news is... now, when you turn off your terminal you will be
automatically logged out.  This solves the problem some of you have had
with turning off your terminal and your job showing up on someone else's.
 
 
JAN 5
Maximum of 12 terminals have been turned on simultaneously.
Maximum of 8 logged in.
Switch currently capable of 15 simultaneous users so "cushion" is 7.
 28 terminals now on the switch, so about 3 to 1 terminals to used ports.
 
 
DEC. 9
Statistics are starting to accumulate...
of the 18 terminals actually going through the switch, a maximum of 9
have been turned on simultaneously.  A maximum of 7 have actually been
logged in.  You are not doing a good job of turning off terminals.
2 Requirements
Pin 20 of the terminal must put out +12 Volts when turned on.
Users on the switch must turn off their terminals when not logged in.
2 SETTERM
The System Login .COM file runs SETTERM to ask the switch data bases
which terminal is connected and runs SET TERMINAL with the proper
qualifiers for your terminal.  You should tell the System Manager if
your terminal is being set wrong.
2 TERMINALS
Displays all Vax ports and terminals currently connected THROUGH the switch.
Shows only terminals which are turned on, whether logged in or not.
To see which terminals are connected TO the switch, you may see
the file SWITCH:TERMLIST.SRC .
Terminal names show which node the terminal is connected to.  T = PHAST::,
J = JANUS::, U = UWAPA1::, and V = UWAPA2::.  So TTH3 would be connected to
PHAST::, and UTA2 would be connected to UWAPA1::.
2 Toggle_switch
    Auxiliary toggle switches can be constructed by the electronics shop to
allow you to disconnect from The Switch without turning your terminal off.
BEWARE:  the switch body itself should be grounded to avoid static electric
discharges from damaging the pin 20 electronics especially if the terminal
is used around carpeting.

If you use a toggle switch, you must be aware of one potential problem that
is masked by the warmup time if you turn your terminal off:
    When you turn the toggle switch off, your terminal is still connected
for ten seconds.  If you log in again during that time, then your job
will not automatically logout when the switch finally DOES disconnect.
For this reason, you must wait over 10 seconds after turning your toggle
switch off before turning it on again to log in. (20 seconds is nice).
2 Trouble ?
If your terminal does not respond to RETURN when you want to log in,
there are some switch-related possible problems:
 
The switch may be full (all available VAX ports in use).
You can check by using LOCATE or TERMINALS on a working terminal.
Tell the System Manager.
 
If you leave your terminal turned on when not logged in, it may be
"disconnected with prejudice".  This means you must turn it off for
at least 30 seconds before it will be recognized.  This happens only
when someone else needs your port and you are not logged in.  To make
it easier on your terminal, and less frustrating to yourself and others,
PLEASE remember to turn your terminal off when not logged in.
 
The Switch may be broken.
 
 
Some non-switch-related problems:
 
Your terminal may be broken.  The cable to the VAX may be broken.
The VAX port may be broken.  The VAX may be broken.
