DCS DATA SYSTEMS NEWSLETTER, 29 AUGUST 1986
TRANSITION OF IBM/SNA NETWORKS TO THE DEFENSE DATA
NETWORK (DDN-MCDN/ASIMS/DLA NET
MCDN-DDN Integration testing continued at the COMTEN (St. Paul, MN)
Lab during the month of August. The COMTEN Lab Team has developed
fixes to address identified problems. COMTEN has tested and evaluated
a number of response time problems and solutions and will prepare a
white paper for the Marine Corps, with a BBN chop, for delivery
sometime in mid-to late September.
The MCDN will install a new COMTEN software release the first of
October 86. As there has been a sizeable number of software fixes to
this and other COMTEN software products, COMTEN recommended and HQMC
and DDN PMO office agree that MCDN-DDN integration testing will return
to the DDN after these software upgrades.
It has been proven that IBM/SNA systems can run over DDN. Vendor
specific/PSN specific software problems have been identified and
corrected. The Army's ASIMS problem is transitioning to the DDN with
the corrected software installation. (LtCol Mike
Tallent/DCA/B64l/285-5027)
(U) CENTCOM TRANSPORTABLE WWMCCS HOST (T-HOST) INITIAL
ACTIVATION AND TRIALS IN PREPARATION FOR GALLANT EAGLE
The DCS Data Systems Directorate is responsible for development,
maintenance and operation of the WWMCCS Communications Subsystem
(WINCS). We were asked to review CENTCOM requirements and advise them
of the most appropriate method of meeting those needs. Several
meetings and technical discussions resulted in a mutually agreeable
connection scheme.
B6OO was asked to prepare and activate a secondary T-Host access line
to the WINCS entirely on MacDill AFB via local wire plant, a primary
T-Host to access line to the WINCS via satellite, and a gallant eagle
exercise circuit to the WINCS. The secondary line was established
early and allowed the T-Host to be tested "in-garrison" prior to
exercise deployment. The exercise circuit was established and the
first successful connecton of a transportable WWMCCS host was
accomplished.
It is important to note that the entire scope of this effort embraced
innovative elements. There were many firsts established and
engineering precedent set by this project. Each implementation problem
was resolved as encountered. The final result was successful
connection to the WWMCCS by a fully transportable, field deployable,
WWMCCS host computer. Continuation from this initial phase will result
in WINCS establishing a "Hot Port" concept ready to support the
CENTCOM T-Host either for future exercises or upon actual contingency.

For new nodes and upgrades, we are now surveying for standard DDN
classified and unclassified node suites of equipment. The Unclas Node
consists of 2 KG racks, 1 processor rack with IMP and TAC, and 2 Comm
Racks - the entire suite requiring a footprint of 9 by 12 feet, 200
pair signal cable, and 3 - 20 AMP, 115VAC circuits. The Clas Node
consists of 2 KG racks, a processor rack with Tempest IMP and TAC, and
1 Comm Rack - the Clas Suite occupying a 9 by 12 feet footprint,
including a 3 feet separation between the processor and Comm cabinets.
The Clas Node requires 100-pair signal cabling and 3 115VAC power
lines with 20 AMP capacity. (LTC Ray Toland/DCA Code B642/285-5018)
OVERDUE HIGH SPEED ACCESS
Due to the non-availability of 56KB and non-tarrif 50 KB wideband
service by the local Bell Operating Companies (BOCs), the DDN TCO has
cancelled the longoverdue orders through DECCO to the vendors. These
requests were for DDN Trunks and host connections that could not be
fulfilled. As an interim solution, the DDN TCO will issue 19.2KB/9.6KB
trunk orders until such time as other high speed access can be
obtained to support the IMP to IMP requirements (Trunks). The DDN TCO
has also identified to the Service O&M TCOs, host requirements that
could not be fulfilled and requested that they review the user's
requirements and either amend the original requirements by TSRs to
reflect an alternate lower speed or cancel the requirement in its
entirety to the DDN TCO.
To preclude additional paperwork and lost time, the DDN TCO is
requesting that all Service TCOs provide alternate lower speed
requirements in the TSRs in case 56KB service can not be obtained
through the vendors. (Mr. Ron Gutschmidt/ DCA Code B643/285-5100)
