         This proposal for the Message Switching System describes
         the Terminal concentrator. Christian Rovsing A/S offers
         two alternative implementation solutions on the concentrator.

         -   The concentrator is based on our local area network
             (X-net) and associated peripherals (workstation
             processor etc.)

         -   The concentrator is based on our CR80 computer
             with associated Line Terninal Units (LTUs) for
             interface to the VDUs.

         Section 2 of this document describes the Local Area
         Network solution and section 3 the CR80 solution. The
         two solutions are based on utilisation of existing
         hardware and software for a cost-effective, timely
         implementation and includes extensive growth capabilities
         owing to the module hardware design concept.

2.1      G̲E̲N̲E̲R̲A̲L̲

         The Christian Rovsing A/S proposal for the Terminal
         Concentrators for the Message Switching System is based
         on our Local Area Network TDX-bus which has been produced
         since 1978 and implemented in various Military and
         Commercial Projects.

         In figure 2.1-1 a system layout is shown to give an
         overview of the Terminal Concentrators. The Terminal
         Concentrator will:

         -   Control preparation of outgoing messages originated
             in the Terminal Concentrator, i.e. message preparation
             and coordination with other terminals.

         -   Provide message release capabilities at specified
             terminals.

         -   Process already released messages by storing and
             subsequent presentation for supervisors for conversion
             to transmission formats.

         -   Transmit all outgoing messages to the node in the
             main computer of the Message Switching System.

         -   Receive all incoming messages from the node in
             the main computer of the Message Switching System.

         -   Process already received messages by storing and
             subsequent presentation for supervisors for distribution.

         -   Assist the supervisory personnel in distribution
             of incoming messages to user terminals.

         -   Present messages at user terminals on request.

         -   Retrieve offline stored messages and present then
             on the supervisor and user terminals.

         The TDX-net solution to the Terminal Concentrator is
         a flexible and versatile approach, providing the customer
         with a truly distributed system. Only a small number
         of different hardware modules are used in order to
         simplify the spare part handling. The processing power
         of the Terminal Concentrator is distributed over various
         microcomputers and inter communication is via the TDX
         bus which is a twisted pair of two coaxial cables.

2.2      T̲E̲R̲M̲I̲N̲A̲L̲ ̲C̲O̲N̲C̲E̲N̲T̲R̲A̲T̲O̲R̲ ̲C̲O̲N̲F̲I̲G̲U̲R̲A̲T̲I̲O̲N̲

         Each Terminal Concentrator is configurated with following
         components:

         a)  The TDX-net controller which is the contral device
             of the TDX-net bus system. It controls all traffic
             on the TDX-net and ensures that all devices attached
             to the net are polled in correspondance with the
             associated bandwidth.

             The TDX-net is an efficient, fast digital link
             between terminals (VDUs, printers etc.) and other
             terminals or a number of small and large computers.

             The TDX-net consists of one controller, TDX-net
             cable and wall outlets.

             The design has been especially aimed to ensure
             very high immunity to electrical interferences
             and low generation of interference itself. The
             TDX-net can therefore safely be used - instead
             of conventional data transmission - in electrically
             noisy locations or where it is essential to restrict
             radiated noise to a minimum.

             Utilizing two screened twisted pair cables, one
             for data transport to TDX-net stations (lower bus)
             and the other for data transport from the stations
             (upper bus), data is transported in packets between
             TDX-net.

             The addressiang scheme allows up to 254 stations
             to share a single TDX-net. This greatly reduces
             the number of separate circuits required in many
             systems, so that many large and expensive multicore
             cables can be replaced by a single pair of cables.

             Full packet protocol with error detection and correction
             is implemented in TDX-net for data integrity.



         b)  The X-net administrator provides services for electronic
             mail such as coordination and release at other
             user terminals. It contains a 36 MB winchester
             disk for temporary storage of message due to presentation.
             Each terminal position has a number of associated
             queues (mailboxes) in the X-net administrator,
             and on request from the user these queues can be
             accessed for presentation of a message. To each
             terminal queues exists for:

             -   Message presentation
             -   Message Coordination/Release
             -   Message Retrieval.

         c)  The offline message storage system provides offline
             storage of all incoming and outgoing messages.
             The storage are performed on floppy disk systems.
             The message storage system contains function for
             retrieval of message from the supervisor or user
             terminal bases on a set of Retrieval Keys.

         d)  The channel interface system provides the interface
             to the node in the main computer via an X-25 interface
             protocol. One interface board are capable to run
             four individual X-25 channels.

         e)  The intelligent workstation is the interface between
             the actual VDU and the X-net. The workstation controls
             the VDU and supports the Man Machine interface
             requirement as specified to the terminal.

             The interface between the VDU and the workstations
             is RS 232 and the VDUs shall be capable of providing
             function key, split and buffered TTY handling functions.

         Each of the components described above are equipped
         with the versatile MP-square microcomputer of Christian
         Rovsing A/S.

         The Multi Purpose Multi Processor ((MP) square) is
         a high performance dual microcomputer configured with
         a Multibus interface by which the module may communicate
         with slavemodules as well as master modules.

         The two microcomputers are configured as general microcomputers
         with common access to all on board in-output devices,
         to the Multibus and to all on board memory, except
         for that part of each processors memory being reserved
         to contain its program code, which optionally can be
         protected via the address decoder.



         Both computers may be equipped with up to 64 K memory
         (Dynamic RAM).

         To obtain the highest degree of expandability the internal
         bus structure ((MP) square Bus) is connected to three
         36 pin on board connectors to which Multimodules and
         Cr custom interface modules may be plugged in.

         To control the Multibus (MP) square Bus and its interfaces
         a central Bus Control And Arbiter Logic is implemented.

         A PROM area is interfaced to the (MP)…0e…2…0f… Bus. This area
         is normally only accessed during a boot load procedure
         or after a system-reset when the programs for built-in-test
         are accessed. This PROM area is 4K Byte Bus is extendable
         to 64K by use of a small on board extension board.

         The Terninal Concentrator system provides functions
         for:

         -   Genration and processing of outgoing messages
         -   Processing and presentation of incoming messages
         -   Retrieval of stored messages.

         The functions will be available to the user through
         a menu driven interface.



2.3.1    O̲u̲t̲g̲o̲i̲n̲g̲ ̲M̲e̲s̲s̲a̲g̲e̲ ̲C̲a̲p̲a̲b̲i̲l̲i̲t̲i̲e̲s̲



2.3.1.1  M̲e̲s̲s̲a̲g̲e̲ ̲P̲r̲e̲p̲a̲r̲a̲t̲i̲o̲n̲

         The users will have the capability to genrate messages.
         The user will in the message generation format be able
         to specify terminal ID's to which the message shall
         be coordinated before release. The user will be provided
         with function for suspending the message preparation
         and on next message preparation request to continue
         the message preparation.

         The message generation format will contain fields for
         entry of data to process the message properly through
         the system (e.g. Priority, Security classification).
         The fomats described above can very easily be changed
         to fulfil additional data entries which require syntax
         and semantic validation.



2.3.1.2  M̲e̲s̲s̲a̲g̲e̲ ̲C̲o̲o̲r̲d̲i̲n̲a̲t̲i̲o̲n̲

         By message coordination the message will be distributed
         (electronic mail) to the terminal ID's specified by
         the drafter. The users with which the message is coordinated
         will be able to react on it by accept or reject the
         message.



2.3.1.3  M̲e̲s̲s̲a̲g̲e̲ ̲R̲e̲l̲e̲a̲s̲e̲ ̲a̲n̲d̲ ̲C̲o̲n̲v̲e̲r̲s̲i̲o̲n̲

         have the capabilities to send the message for release
         and conversion at one of the supervisory terminals.
         The supervisor personnel will be provided with wordprocessing
         capabilities to format the message into the correct
         format as it shall be transmitted to the node in the
         Main Computer.



2.3.1.4  M̲e̲s̲s̲a̲g̲e̲ ̲T̲r̲a̲n̲s̲m̲i̲s̲s̲i̲o̲n̲

         After end release and conversion the message will automatically
         be queued for transmission at the channel interface
         station and it will be transmitted according to the
         X-25 interface protocol.



2.3.2    I̲n̲c̲o̲m̲i̲n̲g̲ ̲M̲e̲s̲s̲a̲g̲e̲ ̲C̲a̲p̲a̲b̲i̲l̲i̲t̲i̲e̲s̲



2.3.2.1  M̲e̲s̲s̲a̲g̲e̲ ̲R̲e̲c̲e̲p̲t̲i̲o̲n̲

         Messages will automatically be received at the channel
         interface station according to the X-25 interface protocol
         and be stored on the disk system. Additional the message
         will be queued to the supervisory personnel for distribution.



2.3.2.2  M̲e̲s̲s̲a̲g̲e̲ ̲D̲i̲s̲t̲r̲i̲b̲u̲t̲i̲o̲n̲ 

         When the supervisory personnel request the incoming
         message processing function at the terminal, the first
         message in the incoming message processing queue will
         be displayed on the screen by the system. The supervisory
         personnel will have the capability to edit the message
         when it is displayed on the screen.

         Terminal IDs can be entered by the supervisory personnel
         to specify a distribution list and the system will
         then automatically distribute the message to these
         terminals.





2.3.2.3  M̲e̲s̲s̲a̲g̲e̲ ̲P̲r̲e̲s̲e̲n̲t̲a̲t̲i̲o̲n̲

         When a message is queued to a user terminal (refer
         section 2.3.2.2) the user will have the capability
         to request the messages for presentation.

         The user will after presentation be able to

         -   Delete the message from the queue (Mailbox) and
             present next message or

         -   Keep the message in the queue (Mailbox) and present
             next message.

         Through these two functions the user will be provided
         with the capability to save the message for later presentation
         or to delete it. 

         The deleted messages will be available to the user
         at later time by the retrieval functions.

3.1      G̲E̲N̲E̲R̲A̲L̲

         This subsection proposed the Terminal Concentrator
         based on the CR80 fault tolerant multiprocessor system.

         The CR80 based Concentrator will support the same user
         facilities as mentioned in section 2.1.



3.2      H̲A̲R̲D̲W̲A̲R̲E̲ ̲C̲O̲N̲F̲I̲G̲U̲R̲A̲T̲I̲O̲N̲

         The system includes 1 Processor/Channel Unit (PCU)
         built up in a combined processor and I/O crate (MX-crate).

         The PCU contains 128 kiloword Main Memory and 1 CPU
         with separate cache memory, designed to provide a high
         performance processor. The application S/W is contained
         in a 64K EPROM Board. The interfaces to the 20 CRT
         terminals and to the NODE Lines are controlled by Line
         Termination Unit modules, LTU's.

         Figure 3.2-1 indicates how the connectivity requirement
         is met.

         The CR80 processor system has been developed within
         the last 3 years and represents latest state-of-the-art
         in technology and is unique in performanceand architecture.

         The CR80 processors have already been used in many
         applications where continuous, reliable operation is
         required and have proven excellent performance.



3.2.1    R̲a̲c̲k̲ ̲L̲a̲y̲o̲u̲t̲

         The proposed Rack Layout is shown on figure 3.2-2.

         The units presented in figure 3.2-1 can be identified
         as separate physical units placed in the racks.

         Each rack has an individual mains switch and the design
         of the units - and the racks provides a good, structured
         appearance, with good ergonomic features and easy maintenance
         access.

         The signal cables for external connections are all
         terminated on standard connectors on each Input/
         Output-unit.
