1 Introduction
V.35 (BARR/3) is a synchronous communications adapter for the IBM PC AT and compatible computers. Designed for use with Barr communications software, it provides the PC connection to an external synchronous modem via a V.35 interface. The V.35 adapter handles several communications protocols: SDLC, X.25, and Binary Synchronous (BSC). Synchronous clocking can be either internal or external. Full-duplex is supported by two DMA channels. Supported line speeds range from 1200 bps to 384,000 bps.
1.1
Package Contents
1 / Introduction
2.5-meter (7-foot) Barr V.35 cable In addition, you will need an external synchronous modem.
1.2
The V.35 adapter is for use with IBM PC AT, IBM PS/2 Models 25-40, and compatible UL Listed personal computers that have Installation Instructions detailing user installation of card cage accessories.
1.3
Requirements
Use of the V.35 requires: PC with ISA 16-bit bus (PC AT bus) An external synchronous modem compatible with the host installation, or a dedicated connection to the host device
1 / Introduction
1.4
Features
Full Duplex
With full duplex support, files may be sent and received simultaneously. Even when data is sent in only one direction, responses must be sent in the other direction as well. With half duplex, data transfer must pause while responses are sent.
1 / Introduction
Loopback Diagnostics
The Barr software can perform comprehensive diagnostic tests on the V.35 adapter to verify that it is functioning properly. The diagnostic software includes send/receive tests using the loopback test plug (included with the V.35 cable), line signal tests, and checks for Address and Interrupt request conflicts.
1 / Introduction
2.1
The Interrupt Request level is software selectable only and is preset to IRQ2. The Device Address is preset to 280 on the adapter and has a corresponding setting in the software. Please do not alter these settings unless a definite conflict exists. Software settings are discussed in Chapter 3.
Address Jumper
The Device Address on the V.35 adapter is preset to 280 with a movable jumper. This same setting is the default in the Barr communications software. Address 280 includes 281-287. Other possible settings are 290, 2A0, or 2B0. An Address conflict rarely occurs. If you have a verified conflict, move the jumper to one of the other settings. The settings are clearly marked on the adapter. After you have completed the V.35 adapter installation, you need to match the Address setting in the Barr software.
2.2
Hardware Installation
This chapter describes easy installation for the IBM AT and compatible computers. Please follow these step-by-step instructions for installing the V.35 synchronous adapter and V.35 cable. Although your PC may look different than the one pictured in these steps, the installation steps will be the same. The only tool required is a screwdriver. 1. 2. Turn OFF the power switch. Turn OFF all other external switches including printer, monitor, and others. Unplug all devices from wall outlet.

Interrupt Request, Address, and Loopback Test Interrupt request?: IRQ2 Address: 280 Use DMA for communications? Yes DMA request? 1 & 3 Perform loopback test? No Choice +-
The following options are specified: Interrupt request? IRQ2|IRQ3|IRQ4|IRQ5 Barr software automatically loads the Interrupt request level. The default is IRQ2. You will probably not need to change the setting. However, a conflict is not uncommon if you are using a Local Area Network adapter. LANs typically use IRQ2. If a conflict occurs, change the software setting. Address: 280|290|2A0|2B0 The Address in the software must match the device Address setting on the the adapter. The default value is 280, both on the adapter and in the software. (If the software and adapter addresses do not match, the choices displayed for the adapter settings may differ from the ones listed in this manual.) Address conflicts rarely occur. However, if a conflict is detected, you need to change both the adapter and software settings. Use DMA for communications? Direct Memory Access (DMA) is a time-honored way to achieve high transfer rates between memory and a peripheral device. Special hardware implements Direct Memory Access so that the software only has to initiate the transfer of a block of memory. Without DMA, software has to handle each byte of memory. Yes Default. Speeds up to 384,000 bps are achieved on a PC AT or PS/2. DMA Requests 1 or 3 are used 3 / Adapter Software Settings
12
on PC, PC AT, or PS/2 Models 25-40. DMA is recommended at speeds greater than 19,200 bps. No DMA is not used.
DMA request? 1|3|1&3 Use of DMA increases performance. On the PC AT and PS/2 Models 25-40, both DMA requests 1 and 3 are available. On the PC XT, only DMA request 1 is available. For half duplex, use DMA 1 or 3. DMA request 1 & 3 is used with full duplex when DATMODE=FULL is specified in the Communication Link. Perform loopback test? The loopback test verifies that the hardware is installed correctly and that the hardware and software settings are correct. The loopback test plug is provided with the V.35 cable. No Yes Default. Do not perform the test. Run this test after hardware and software installation, whenever the settings on this screen are changed, or if a hardware error is suspected. The loopback test performs diagnostics of the synchronous adapter, cable, and modem. Instructions will display on the screen for each step. Detailed information on the loopback test is given in Chapter 4.
Additional Adapter Information When you finish entering the adapter settings on the Interrupt Request, Address, and Loopback Test screen, additional adapter information displays. If the software and adapter address settings match, this screen confirms the adapter settings. If the software and adapter address settings do not match, you will see settings for several different Barr adapters. The information that displays for RS232 shows you how to set the
13
adapter jumper to match the Address value you entered on the previous screen.

If your PC is located within 30 meters (100 feet) of the mainframe, you can directly connect to the mainframe communications controller with a synchronous modem eliminator (SME) cable. This cable is wired to accept the clock signal from the V.35 adapter. The V.35 adapter produces a clock on pins 24 and 11. This clock is connected to the send and receive clocks (pins 15 and 13; pins 17 and 12) on both the Barr V.35 adapter and communications controller. The clock eliminates the necessity for a synchronous modem eliminator box. Synchronous modem eliminator cables are available from Barr Systems, Inc. The Barr V.35 Synchronous Modem Eliminator Cable has a D25 female connector that plugs into the V.35 adapter, and an M34 female connector that plugs into the V.35 port on the communications controller. (The connectors are labeled PC and HOST). The D25 pins are labeled 1 to 25, and the M34 pins are labeled A to NN.

Appendix B
Modems
Data transmission between the PC and the host computer is completed through telephone lines. The PC sends signals in digital form to a modem. The modem translates these digital signals to the analog signals sent by the telephone lines. When the PC is transmitting, the modem converts (modulates) the digital signals to the analog signals used by the telephone system. When the PC is receiving, the modem restores (demodulates) the signal to digital form. The word modem is derived from modulate-demodulate. The modems at each end of the transmission linethe hosts modem and the remote PCs modemoperate at the same speed [bits per second (bps)], but must also keep in step with one another. Synchronous and asynchronous are the two methods of timing communications. Barr products support synchronous communications and require synchronous modems. Synchronous transmission incorporates a clocking mechanism coded in the signal carrier that does not need start bits. Successive characters are sent without any intervening start and stop bits. The receiver stays in sync with the sender by constantly evaluating the clock periods in the received signal. The transmission message consists of many characters; therefore, the inefficiency of stopping and starting between characters is eliminated. Asynchronous transmission communicates with a single character preceded by a start bit and followed by one or two stop bits. Essentially, the transmission message contains one character with no restriction on the length of time between messages. Low-speed terminals use asynchronous transmission (referred to as start-stop transmission) to communicate with interactive systems. Modems used on dial-up telephone lines communicate at various speeds and code bits of data using various modulation techniques. These modulation techniques are defined by modem standards.

Any modem you choose to use on the dial-up or dedicated line must conform to the standard that the host computing center supports. If you do not have a modem, speak with the computing center consultant about the type of modem that is compatible with the host installation. The modem should be equipped with a V.35 connector. The V.35 cable connects the adapter to the external modem.
