108.0. "ALL-IN-1 and 97801" by LUX01::FLAMION (MENVU) Tue Jun 04 1991 11:51

Hi,

My customer want to use ALL-IN-1 from more than 500 '97801 SIEMENS 
terminal'. 2 solutions seems to be possible
 
1) The 1st solution is to use a VT200 emulation in SINIX system (see notes 82 
   :EMVT from Conware).This solution is curently in evaluation, but in hardware 
   point of view, we are using a SINIX system as terminal server.

2) The 2nd solution is to use a driver (?) on VMS system to translate the 
   escapes sequences,... for the 97801 terminal. 

	Existing hardware configuration :

                             +------------+
                             | 97801 8bits|
                             +---------+--+  
                                       |
                    +-------------+    | SS97
                 +--+ ss97 to V24 +----+----------> direct connection to SINIX
              V24|  +-------------+
                 |      
            +----+----+
            | CISCO   | terminal server
            +-+-----+-+
              |     |
          LAT |     | TCP/IP   
              |     |
           +--+---+-+--+-+
           |      | UCX| |
           |      +----+ |
           | VMS system  |
           | ALL-IN-1 IOS|
           +-------------+
 
It's running! From a 97801 we can have a connection to VMS system (Via ss97 to
v24 converter and a Terminal server). But it's only possible to have a
connection as a line terminal (la120,...)


How can help me to use ALL-IN-1 with this second solution ?

108.1Probable contact for Solution Nr. 2BIKINI::DITEPhaseV - V for Valium?Tue Jun 04 1991 16:2212
    Regarding solution Nr. 2 you should talk to Ullrich Pelda @MFR part of
    the Siemens A/c Team as they are also looking to provide a
    "reverse-emulation" solution for a customer project. 
    
    Maybe you can both benefit from each other. Let us know how you get on.
    
    Otherwise I'm sure there's quite a few people out there who have faced
    a similar problem to this. Hopefully they are listening.

    Hi Gerard,
    
    ...strange configuration ... are you sure that the SINIX is not
    connected to the LAN ? - or is the cisco terminal server configured in
    reverse mode ?
    
    I can't see how EMvt should work in such a configuration.
    
    A working solution is:
    
    1. 	connect the SINIX System to the TCP/IP LAN.
    
    2.	Use EMVT and telnet (via REMOS) on the Sinix system. So you can
    	connect to the VMS system (running UCX) via TCP/IP.
    
    3.  There are some restrictions in the EMVT like "no support for an 
    	eight bit character set" and I do not no how this effects
    	All-in-one but a full screen mode should be possible anyway.
    
    Your 2nd solution is not a simple one - but if you have it, I'm
    very interested in it !
    
    Concerning John's reply (.1) Integrata is planning a "revers emulation" only
    for 9750 terminals (BS2000). These terminals have nothing to do with
    the 97801 for the SINIX systems - only they are Siemens prop. 
    
    I am interested in more informations about your configuration - perhaps
    there are other possibilities .
