Procedures for Access to U.S. ADP Autonet Via Datapac

 

                    Examples are shown in square brackets ([ ]).

                         <CR> represents a carriage return.

 

 

 

          Users wishing to access hosts on ADP Autonet  from  the  Canadian

          Datapac network now have two separate services available to them.

          There is the existing X.25 Service, which has been in  place  for

          several  years  and  the  new X.75 Gateway service, both of which

          will allow asynchronous terminal access.  The  new  X.75  Gateway

          provides additional capabilities including:

 

                  Calls from Autonet to hosts on Datapac

 

                  Host-to-host and non-X.29 type connections

 

                  Pad parameter control using X.29 packets

 

 

 

          To Connect: (X.25 and X.75 Services)

 

           1. Set either the terminal or coupler to  half-duplex  operation

              (not both).

 

           2. Dial the local access number  and  wait  for  a  high-pitched

              tone.

 

           3. Couple the terminal to the telephone line.

 

                  For direct connect Modems, switch to DATA MODE.

 

                  For Acoustic Couplers, place the telephone receiver  fir-

                  mly  in  coupler,  positioning  the  cord  as  marked  on

                  coupler.

 

           4. Type a period (.) followed by a carriage return.

 

                  [ . <CR> ] for 300 bps

 

                  [ .. <CR> ] for 1200 bps

 

           5. Datapac will respond with:

 

                  DATAPAC:  xxxx yyyy (xxxx yyyy = Datapac and port number)

 

           6. To enable local character echo, type:

 

                  [ SET? 2:1 ]

 

 

 

 

                                          1

 

 

 

 

 

                  Datapac will respond with:

 

                  PAR 2:1

 

           7. Request a connection to Autonet via the X.25 or X.75 service:

 

 

 

 

                                    X.25 Service

 

              Type  the  ADP  Autonet address (29400094) followed by a car-

              riage return.

 

                  [ 29400094 <CR> ]

 

              Datapac will respond with:

 

                  DATAPAC: CALL CONNECTED

 

              You may now proceed  with  the  normal  Autonet  access  pro-

              cedures. Begin by typing two carriage returns.

 

                  [ <CR> <CR> ]

 

              Autonet will respond with:

 

                  Autonet Line xxxxxxxxxx

                  Command:

 

              Type:

 

                  [ C 8883126 <CR> ]

 

              Autonet will respond with:

 

                  CALL CONNECTED

 

              Signon to host as usual

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                          2

 

 

 

 

 

                                X.75 Gateway Service

 

              Type X.121 address of host.

 

                  [ 1 3126nnnnnnnnnn <CR> ]

 

                      where:

 

                      1 - signifies an International call

 

                      3126 - signifies Autonet Network Address (DNIC)

 

                      nn..n  -  up  to  10  digit Autonet assigned host DTE

                      address

 

              Datapac will respond with:

 

                  DATAPAC: CALL CONNECTED to host

 

              You  may  now  proceed  with  the  normal Autonet access pro-

              dedures. Begin by typing two carriage returns.

 

                  [ <CR> <CR> ]

 

 

 

 

 

 

          To Disconnect:

 

           1. Log-off the host computer as usual.

 

           2. After the host clears the call Datapac will respond with:

 

                  DATAPAC: CALL CLEARED - remote request

                  DATAPAC: nnnn nnnn

 

           3. Either  initiate  another  connection,  or simply hang up the

              phone.

                                                                      Notes

 

 

              Major Differences Between ADP Autonet and Datapac Access

 

 

 

           1. Datapac does not default to local PAD echo. Echo can  be  set

              by:

 

                  * setting either the terminal or coupler  (not  both)  to

                  half-duplex

 

                  * changing the Datapac PAD echo setting with a  set  com-

                  mand (SET? 2:1)

 

           2. Datapac has fixed padding of two (2) characters for  carriage

              returns  and no padding for line feeds and tabs. If your ter-

              minal requires additional delays, you will have  to  use  the

              Autonet  Communications  Command Language (CCL) commands $$CR

              and $$LF to insert the correct amount of delay or  your  ter-

              minal will drop characters at the beginning of each line.

 

           3. If  a  parity  error  occurs,  Datapac  will  warn  you  with

              "DATAPAC: REENTER", and it will discard the entire input buf-

              fer.

 

           4. Datapac will only transmit when a carriage return is entered.

              Therefore, certain characters such as Control S (CTRL  S),  Q

              (CTRL Q), and O (CTRL O) will not produce the desired results

              unless followed by a carriage return. Note that the  carriage

              return will be entered into your file or job.

 

           5. To delete characters, type backspace or Control  H  (CTRL  H)

              characters.

 

           6. On the X.75 Gateway service, users  must  enter  the  numeric

              X.121  host  address  (3126nnnnnnnnnn).  However, on the X.25

              service, an Autonet host name can be used at the Autonet Com-

              mand: prompt.

 

           7. X.25 service users have the ability to make  a  COLLECT  call

              from  Datapac  to Autonet and a CALLER PAID call from Autonet

              to the destination host. This is not  possible  on  the  X.75

              Gateway.  Users  wishing  to make calls to a CALLER PAID host

              via the X.75 Gateway, must obtain a Datapac Network  User  ID

              (NUI) from their local Datapac Account Representative.

           5. Type  C  (Connect)  Command  and the X.121 address (12 digits

              only) of the host on Datapac.
