Serviceability
Error handling is improved by:
Tracking of all detected incidents
Box event records (BERs), relating to hardware or microcode, stored on
controller hard disk
Automatic BER analysis (autoBER)
Alarms
Generic alerts via the NetView* program
Controller resource reactivation, for example: automatic control program
loading, MOSS and scanner microcode loading
Line wrap test
Internal scanner interface trace (SIT) trace stacked on controller hard disk
Concurrent NCP and scanner dumps on controller hard disk
Continued operation avoiding controller shutdown in various failure situations.
The error-handling procedures and improved problem determination lead to better
serviceability.
Connectivity
The architecture of the 3745 models 130, 150, and 170 has been designed to cope
with constant changes in communication facilities:
Rapid network growth
Added complexity
New applications
Additional communication facilities.
See “IBM 3745 Models 130, 150, and 170” on page 1-8 and Connectivity on page
1-6 for detailed channel and communication interface capabilities.
The configuration initially defined at installation (generation) can be upgraded at
any time to meet growing network requirements.
