5.1      I̲n̲t̲r̲o̲d̲u̲c̲t̲i̲o̲n̲

         The scope of this chapter is to show how the proposed
         network are configured with dedicated CR80 processor
         systems.

         A descriptin of the flexible CR80 architecture are
         given in section 5.3, and at last the configuration
         drawings and equipment lists for the different computers
         are given.



5.2      N̲e̲t̲w̲o̲r̲k̲ ̲C̲o̲n̲f̲i̲g̲u̲r̲a̲t̲i̲o̲n̲

         The proposed network are based on 3 sites, and can
         in a mdular way be expanded to an unlimited number
         of sites.

         The sites themselves are computer systems built around
         a high speed dualized "site supra net" with a speed
         of 16 M bps. which can be expanded up to 256 M bps.

         Around the "site supra net" th different CR80 computer
         systems are placed, as shown in figure III 5.2.1.

         The types of CR80 computer systems which are proposed
         to interface to the "site supra net" are:

         NSP:    Nodal Switch Processor
         NCP:    Nodal Control Processor
         NMH:    Network Mnagement Host
         EMH:    Electronic Mail Host

         It is underlined that each of the above mentioned systems
         are totally independent computer systems, only connected
         to one or more of the others by the "Site Supra Net".

         In this way it is seen that expanson with new or existing
         functions are simply done by adding new CR80 computer
         systems to the existing "Site Supra Net".

5.3.1    N̲e̲t̲w̲o̲r̲k̲ ̲E̲l̲e̲m̲e̲n̲t̲s̲

         Each individual subsystem is described, and on related
         figures the subsystem is shown in block diagrams. Furthermore
         rach and crae layout is shown.


5.3.1.1  C̲o̲m̲p̲u̲t̲i̲n̲g̲ ̲E̲l̲e̲m̲e̲n̲t̲s̲

         The overall proposed computing elements are CR80 system
         elements.



5.3.1.2  C̲R̲8̲0̲ ̲G̲e̲n̲e̲r̲a̲l̲ ̲D̲e̲s̲c̲r̲i̲p̲t̲i̲o̲n̲

         The Network elements are constructed by means of the
         modular fault tolerant CR80 computer system by use
         of various standard modules (Printed Circit Boards)
         organized in units which are interconnected by galvanic
         isolated transfer bus structured as illustrated below,
         and shortly described in the following.









































                   Figure III 5.3.1.2.1


         The CR80 system units are housed in 19" Crates (Card
         Magazine) for installation in standard 19" Racks as
         shown in figure below.

5.3.1.2.1    T̲h̲e̲ ̲P̲r̲o̲c̲e̲s̲s̲o̲r̲ ̲U̲n̲i̲t̲s̲ ̲(̲P̲U̲)̲

         The PU is a multiprogrammable multiprocessor (up to
         5 central processor Units CPU's) utilizing virtual
         memory (16 mega 16 bits words) and deman paging. Messages
         are transmitted from one PU to the memory of another
         via the Supra Net. As all data transfers via the Supra
         Net are approved by both PU's Memory Map, full hardware
         protection against unintended interference between
         PU's is ensured

         The PU is highly flexible because the selectance of
         contained modules can be changed. The modules are interfaced
         via a dual bus structure for reduction of bus contention
         as shown in figure below.


































                  Figure III 5.31.2.1.1



5.3.1.2.2    T̲h̲e̲ ̲C̲h̲a̲n̲n̲e̲l̲ ̲U̲n̲i̲t̲s̲ ̲(̲C̲U̲)̲

         contain the CR80 I/O Controller modules for interfacing
         towards peripheral equipment, communication lines etc.
         The CU has an internal dual transfr bus structure to
         ensure that no single failure can stop operation of
         more than one I/O Controller as shown in the figure
         below.









































                  Figure III 5.3.1.2.2.1


         The transfer buses, Data Bus A and Data Bus B, are
         connected to two different PU's to ensure continuous
         access to the controller modules (CTRL, LTU). The characteristics
         of Data Bs A and Data Bus B correspond to the internal
         buses of the PU.

         The CIA-modules constitute the interface between the
         word oriented internal transfer buses and the byte
         oriented Data Channels.

         The I/O Controller modules are all based on the same
         rinciple for interfacing to the Channel Unit bus structure
         and for the external interfaces as illustrated in figure
         below.

         The Network elements are constructed by means of the
         modular fault tolerant CR80 computer system by use
         of various standard modules (Printed Circit Boards)
         organized in units which are interconnected by galvanic
         isolated transfer bus structured as illustrated below,
         and shortly described in the following.









































                   Figure III 5.3.1.2.1


         The CR80 system units are housed in 19" Crates (Card
         Magazine) for installation in standard 19" Racks as
         shown in figure below.

         The PU is a multiprogrammable multiprocessor (up to
         5 central processor Units CPU's) utilizing virtual
         memory (16 mega 16 bits words) and deman paging. Messages
         are transmitted from one PU to the memory of another
         via the Supra Net. As all data transfers via the Supra
         Net are approved by both PU's Memory Map, full hardware
         protection against unintended interference between
         PU's is ensured

         The PU is highly flexible because the selectance of
         contained modules can be changed. The modules are interfaced
         via a dual bus structure for reduction of bus contention
         as shown in figure below.

         contain the CR80 I/O Controller modules for interfacing
         towards peripheral equipment, communication lines etc.
         The CU has an internal dual transfr bus structure to
         ensure that no single failure can stop operation of
         more than one I/O Controller as shown in the figure
         below.









































                  Figure III 5.3.1.2.2.1


         The transfer buses, Data Bus A and Data Bus B, are
         connected to two different PU's to ensure continuous
         access to the controller modules (CTRL, LTU). The characteristics
         of Data Bs A and Data Bus B correspond to the internal
         buses of the PU.

         The CIA-modules constitute the interface between the
         word oriented internal transfer buses and the byte
         oriented Data Channels.

         The I/O Controller modules are all based on the same
         rinciple for interfacing to the Channel Unit bus structure
         and for the external interfaces as illustrated in figure
         below.
