Simulator 1
Simulator 2
The interface does not provide status to the CPU to indicate that the interconnecting cables are disconnected.
Attempting to send or receive data with the cables not connected will cause the operation to hang. In simulation, a
simulation stop will occur. If the
ATTACH
command was not given,
Unit not attached
is reported. If the port is
attached but the connection has not been established,
Cable not connected
is reported.
If the host operating system returns a network I/O error, the simulator will report the error to the simulation console,
e.g.:
HP 2100 simulator processor interconnect socket read error
...and the simulation will stop with an
I/O Error
message. No error recovery is attempted.
Processor interconnect device options that may be specified are:
Option
Action
DIAGNOSTIC
Connect using the diagnostic test cable
LINK
Connect using the processor interconnect cables
DISCONNECT
Disconnect the interface from the Telnet connection
SC=<n>
Set the interface card select codes; defaults are 32/33
DEBUG=<option>
Enable tracing
NODEBUG
Disable tracing; default
ENABLED
Enable the device
DISABLED
Disable the device; default
Enabling the diagnostic mode simulates the connection of a processor interconnect cable between the two
interfaces within the same machine. Configuring either IPLI or IPLO for diagnostic mode automatically configures
the other card as well. Enabling link mode allows the cables to be attached to restore the interconnection between
the machines.
