Configuring the Scanner through LIST

Chapter 2

2-9

LIST displays the size of the input and output files. For example,
I1:0

19 shows that input file 1 contains 20 octal words. You can create

a larger file by entering the last word desired in the file when prompted for
the file number in LIST. By entering I1:50 for the input file, the system
will automatically increase input file 1 to 50 octal words.

To delete slave entries from the list, press:

slave entry /d [Return]

Backup Communications Configuration

When you configure a channel for backup communication, you must enter
the following parameters:

Parameter

Description

Resident number identifies the system being configured on the channel. The resident number

must be different from the partner number and selected from numbers 81

through 89.

Partner number

identifies the other system on the channel. The partner number must differ

from the resident number and selected from number 81 through 89.

Input file

identifies the file that receives data from the partner. The input file must be in

the input image section of the data table. If you do not make a selection, the

file defaults to input file 1. This file must be large enough to store the data from

the partner system's output file. Otherwise, the processor sets the backup

communication minor fault bit.

Output file

identifies the file that sends data to the partner. The output file must be in the

output image section of the data table. If you do not make a selection, the file

defaults to output file 1.
