Okay, so you want to know why the copyright dates don't match the
|
|
|
|
order of the release?!? Well cause I figured that if I wanted to release more
|
|
|
|
I had to work on several at the same time...it was also easier that way,
|
|
|
|
because when I got bored of writing or compiling one, I could just switch to
|
|
|
|
another topic. But unfortunately I decided to number the issues when I start
|
|
|
|
writing them so I don't have to rename them afterwards. Which leads to the
|
|
|
|
fact that some are finished quicker than others, either do to the length or
|
|
|
|
do to the fact that I like the topic better. So better or for worse, you
|
|
|
|
get what yah get folks!!!!!!

This issue is a continuation of the packet networks series that was
|
|
|
|
put on hold over a year ago. This is part two of the tymnet informational
|
|
|
|
file...and from now on I'll go into more detail in specific parts of the
|
|
|
|
network than just toss them all together like I did in the previous one.

TERMINAL IDENTIFIERS
|
|
|
|
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
|
|
|
|
|
|
A terminal identifier indicates to the network the characteristics of your
|
|
terminal. Most terminals can use the "A" terminal identifier. However, if
|
|
your terminal requires a carriage return delay, for example, then the "I"
|
|
or the "E" identifier should be used.
|
|
|
|
At 'please type your terminal identifier' please enter:
|
|
|
|
|
|
A for PC's and CRT terminals (SAVE parity)
|
|
C for 300 baud Impact Printer Terminals
|
|
E for Thermal Printer Terminals like the SILENT 700 series
|
|
F for BETA transaction terminals
|
|
G for the GE Terminet at 1200 baud
|
|
I for 300 baud Thermal Printer Terminals
|
|
K for EVEN/ODD parity terminals (future implementation)
|
|
O for MARK/SPACE parity terminals (BBS access)
|
|
Y for 300 baud Transaction terminals

Logon Options
|
|
|
|
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the 'please log in:' prompt the user can specify control characters
|
|
to set the network to the needs of the user.
|
|
For example when you are connected to a database and the data is
|
|
coming in to fast you can backpressure the data by typing control S. The
|
|
network however will only react on this command if you specified ^R at
|
|
the logon step.
|
|
|
|
^E - control E - Enter Full Duplex mode (future implementation)
|
|
^H - control H - Enter Half Duplex mode - disable echo!!
|
|
^I - control I - Build optimal circuit for Interactive traffic
|
|
^P - control P - Force EVEN Parity
|
|
^R - control R - Enable host backpressure X-on X-off
|
|
^U - control U - Force terminal data to uppercase
|
|
^V - control V - Build optimal circuit for Volume traffic
|
|
^W - control W - Erase login up to last terminator
|
|
^X - control X - Enable terminal backpressure X-on X-off
|
|
^Z - control Z - Disconnect/Logoff
|
|
ESC - escape - Discard login and get NEW please log in prompt
|
|
BREAK - break - Switch to CCITT X.3 X.28 X.29 PAD (selected nodes)

PASSWORD CHANGE PROCEDURES
|
|
|
|
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Passwords to usernames can be easily #hanged if this option has been
|
|
enabled by your account manager. Follow the 11 steps listed below.
|
|
|
|
1. Dial your local TYMNET access number.
|
|
|
|
2. Send the terminal identifier you normally use (for example 'A')
|
|
|
|
3. At the please log in: prompt type in 'PASSWORD' <carriage return>
|
|
|
|
4. A circuit will be established to the validation system, and you
|
|
are prompted to enter the username for which you want to change
|
|
the password.
|
|
|
|
5. If the name is correct, you are prompted for the old password.
|
|
|
|
6. Enter the old password.
|
|
|
|
7. If old password is correct, you are prompted for the new password.
|
|
|
|
8. Passwords must have a minimum length of 8 characters and must contain
|
|
one or more non-alpha numeric character.
|
|
|
|
9. The new password is then checked for the valid format.
|
|
|
|
10. If the password format is valid, enter the new password once more.
|
|
The system will immediately modify your password on the network.
|
|
|
|
11. The system disconnects, and you are back at 'please log in'
|

BT-GNS online CAUSE and DIAGNOSTIC messages database
|
|
|
|
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cause and diagnostic messages are send whenever a session is terminated.
|
|
The two codes issued at the termination indicate the reason the session
|
|
was terminated. Cause 0, Diagnostic 0 is presented normally as :
|
|
|
|
|
|
Host: Call cleared (c 0,d 0)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Means the call was cleared in a normal way, by the host.
