|
which is stored in a NIB file on a TYMCOM-X (PDP-10) in the Tymnet public
|
|
network, is transmitted through one or more gateways to an ELF device in
|
|
the operators network. From the ELF disk or tape unit the code is loaded
|
|
into a target node or an ISIS slot.
|
|
|
|
This guide describes procedures for doing the following: logging in and
|
|
logging out; using single or multiple gateways; creating; loading, and
|
|
dumping code; restarting a node; and using the bootstrap program. Disk
|
|
and tape procedures are presented, including a description of how to
|
|
initalize an ELF disk.

|
|
The Engine is the communciations computer produced by Tymnet to serve any
|
|
of the various roles that nodes play in the Tymnet network. Although the
|
|
physical size of the cabinets and cardcages differ, the necessary
|
|
components of all Engines and Mini-Engines are the same. Additional circuit
|
|
boards may be added to an Engine to increase its memory or input/output
|
|
(I/O) capabilities, but the type of node that each Engine represents is
|
|
ultimately controlled by the software installed when the node is placed in
|
|
the network.
|

|
|
The Engine Maintenance Manual covers the installation and theory of operation
|
|
of the Tymnet Engine. The manual is divided into the following sections:
