Functional Description
2780/3780 Emulation
RJE/1000-II is a software package that lets HP 1000 E/F- and
A-Series computers emulate the IBM 2780/3780 workstation. This product
allows HP 1000 users to send and receive files (jobs) from remote job
entry subsystems on IBM and IBM plug-compatible hosts. The job entry
subsystems that are supported currently are JES3, JES4, and HASP II.
Contact your support engineer for the latest list of supported job entry
subsystems.
RJE/1000-II also enables HP 1000 users to transfer files with other
computers that have accurately implemented the 2780/3780 protocol. This
capability is supported on the HP 1000, HP 3000, and HP 9000 computers
(RJE/1000-II only on the HP 1000 computers).
Interactive Use
RJE/1000-II allows users to interactively send and receive files using a
set of powerful but simple commands. In addition, RJE/1000-II gives
powerful diagnostic tools to trace and check status. Additional tools
are provided to abort and route HP 1000 destinations for files which are
already in transmission.
Custom Interface
10
RJE/1000-II may be invoked from a user's program. It will return status
parameters to the calling program. This gives the user the flexibility
to design custom interfaces to suit his own needs. Optionally, the user
may write special programs that send and receive files via RJE/1000-II,
allowing unattended operation. On completion of transmission RJE/1000-II
can schedule a program to handle the file received. The program
scheduled will run independently of RJE/1000-II and perform post
processing upon received file; eg, route files to the appropriate device
or program as required.
Flexible Usage
RJE/1000-II allows multiple users to send and receive files through one
copy of executing code. The users may send multiple requests, which are
queued up for transmission. Data files may be binary or ASCII.
RJE/1000-II performs automatic data conversion of ASCII to EBCDIC for
transmission; it also converts received data from EBCDIC to ASCII.
Automatic queuing and data conversion provide a user-friendly interface.
Distributed Processing
RJE/1000-II uses a microprocessor-based intelligent I/O card to handle
the bisync protocol to the host computer. This Programmable Serial
Interface (PSI) card offloads much of the I/O handling and task
scheduling, thus lowering CPU usage and increasing effective throughput.
Functional Specifications
Workstations
The following IBM workstations are emulated:
o 2780
o 3780
Remote Systems
The host computer must run with one of the following job entry
subsystems using bisync contention protocol:
o JES2
o JES3
o HASP II
or
o HP 3000 with RJE
o HP 9000 with RJE, Series 300 only
o HP 1000 with RJE/1000-II
Please contact your SE for the latest list of supported systems.
Communications Link
The Communications Link must have the following features:
o Switched or nonswitched
o Up to 19,2000 bps
2780/3780 Protocol½(EBCDIC and Transparent line codes are supported,
ASCII line code is not supported)
o Binary synchronous contention protocol
o Point-to-point lines
Modems Supported
11
Connection to the communications line is made through a modem obtained
and installed independently of RJE/1000-II. One modem links the
Programmable Serial Interface card in the HP 1000 and the communications
line. Another modem connects the communications line to the host
computer. The modems must be compatible with each other and must be
strapped properly.
The following modems are supported:
o Bell 201C (2400 bps)
o Bell 208A (4800 bps)
o Bell 208B (4800 bps)
o Bell Dataphone II 2024 (2400 bps)
o Bell Dataphone II 2096 (9600 bps)
Modems operating at 19.2 Kbps may be used if they meet the following
criteria:
1.Provide, transmit, and receive clocks for the PSI card
2.Ensure ground isolation between the communicating systems
3.Support the DTR, DSR, RTS, CTS, CD, and RI handshake signals

Installation and Customer Responsibilities
Installation is not included with RJE/1000-II. It is the responsibility
of the customer to install the product. HP will provide installation
service at the prevailing service rates.
12
Installation of all communication facilities (cables and modems) and
their connection to the HP 1000 computer systems for RJE/1000-II is the
customer's responsibility.
The establishment of successful communication between the HP 1000
computer system running RJE/1000-II and the host computer is the
customer's responsibility.
Prior to the customer's installation of RJE/1000-II on the HP 1000,
the customer is responsible for installation of a switched or
nonswitched bisync communications line between the HP 1000 and the host
computer. This line must be matched with a pair of modems that are
compatible with RJE/1000-II at each end of the line. The customer should
verify the functioning of the line and modems.
Prior to installation of RJE/1000-II the customer should install the
necessary host computer system software and hardware to support
RJE/1000-II. The customer should ensure that the host software is
compatible with RJE/1000-II and consistent with the specifications of
RJE/1000-II. Modifications may prevent operation of RJE/1000-II.
Hewlett-Packard does not warrant the successful operation of RJE/1000-II
if modifications have been made.
