1 Introduction

The Program Interface (PI) is a detailed, menu-driven, interface system for

programming the Coral System

This chapter gives general information on how to use the Program Interface andhow to set-up the PI software and hardware equipment The PI terminal commandsare listed in tabular form for easy reference Other conventions and shorthand

notations used in this manual are also listed at the end of the chapter

The chapter contents include the following:

A General Description

The Program Interface (PI) is a detailed, menu-driven, interface system for

programming the Coral System It also provides access to the diagnostic facilitiescontained within the system software

The PI is entered through any of the following types of connecting devices:

1) video display data terminal, 2) keyboard send/receive (KSR) printer data terminal, or 3) a data terminal and modem, 4) PC with VT emulator

An additional PI function allows saving and restoring the entire database contents

to a binary disk file, using a personal computer (PC) running Microsoft® MS-DOS®operating system, and TADIRAN save/restore software This software includes aterminal emulator program which allows the PC to act as a video display data

terminal Contact TADIRAN for details

The Program Interface (PI) data terminal is connected to the Coral through one ofthe three RMI card RS-232C interfaces, or through the internal modem on the RMIcard One RS-232C interface is provided at the front panel of the MSX card in theCORAL Common Control or MCDX card in the DX Common Control The threeadditional RS-232C interfaces for PI access are provided at the cable pinouts of theRMI card on the Main Distribution Frame (MDF)

In the Coral SL the PI is connected to one of two RS-232E interfaces One KB0 isprovided at the front side of the MCPsl card The second KB1 is provided at theupper side of the MSBsl card Additionally, the PI can be connected through aninternal modem (KB4) located on the MSBsl card

Multiple but simultaneous, independent PI sessions from different monitors arepossible, though this practice is not recommended

Access to the PI is restricted to trained and qualified programmers Uncertifiedpersonnel can unknowingly cause serious damage to the communication systemdatabase

The terminal or printer displays Coral-generated prompts (questions, instructions,options, etc.) in plain English; the programmer can usually make an entry, skip tothe next prompt, or exit the programming function The various card functions can

be accessed using a written command, e.g NPL to “jump” directly to the NumberingPlan or accessed stepwise, e.g (0,0,5)

Entries are made using a standard keyboard; the keyboard DELETE

(not BACKSPACE) key is used on most terminals to erase incorrect characters.Entries are displayed as they are keyed

PI programming changes take effect in “real time”; that is, as soon as the command

is given, the change is entered into the system memory, and immediately takes effect

B PI Terminal Device

The Program Interface (PI) terminal device should be either an asynchronous,

ASCII video display data terminal, a Personal Computer with terminal emulatorsoftware, a KSR printer equipped with a serial interface (RS-232C or RS-232E forthe Coral SL) or a Bell 103/212A compatible data modem Either one of two popularvideo display terminal emulations are supported for character attributes, cursorpositioning and screen refresh

If the video display terminal connected to the Coral system does not emulate one ofthe two supported emulations, or a portable data printer is used instead of a video

display terminal, use the Printer definition in the TERM, Setup branch of the PI,

see Chapter 17 Use the Modem definition in the same branch for a modem setup

☞To use the “SNAP” (real time display) functions available in some

programming areas, the PI device must emulate a Digital Equipment

Programming Interface Terminal Communications

C Hardware Setup

The PI terminal device may be connected to an RS-232 type interface on the system,

or the RMI internal modem All features and functions are available through eitherconnection

On-Site Connection

The PI terminal is connected to the MSX/MCDX front panel DB25 connector, KB0

(Figure 1-1) In the Coral SL, the PI terminal is connected tothe MCPsl front panel DB9 connector, KB0 (Figure 1-1) Note that the connector is wired as a Data

Terminal Equipment (DTE) device Verify that electrical connections between theKB0 port and PI terminal reflect a DTE to DTE, or Null Modem connection

Many video display terminals require only the Transmit (Tx) Data, Receive (Rx) Data, and Signal Ground conductors to be connected between the PI terminal

device and the KB0 or RMI serial data port The Qume QVT-101 terminal requires

that the Clear to Send conductor be “active”, or “high” (+3 to +12Vdc), to display received data Figure 1-2 shows the connections for using a VT-100 or Qume

QVT-101 with the KB0 interface

The serial asynchronous RS-232 interface of some PCs are equipped with a DB25

connector, while others are equipped with a DB9 connector Figure 1-2 illustrates

the connections between the KB0 interface and a PC equipped with a DB25

connector Figure 1-3 illustrates the connections between the KB0 interface and a

PC equipped with a DB9 connector Figures 1-4 and 1-5 illustrate the connections

between the KB0 interface for the Coral SL (MCPsl Card) and a PC equipped with aDB25 connector and DB9 connector respectively

Some portable data printer terminals require that one or more status conductors

(e.g Carrier Detect or Clear to Send) of the terminal be high, active, or

“asserted”, for the terminal to be on-line, or in a communications mode The

Request to Send and Data Terminal Ready conductors of the KB0 connector are

kept high, and may be connected to conductors of the terminal device for this

purpose If the terminal device appears unresponsive after it is connected to the

Coral, consult the manufacturer’s operating manual in order to determine if the

selected terminal device requires any status conductors to be active

D Access to the Programming Interface

Access to the Programming Interface facility is controlled by passwords There arefour PI password levels The programmer requires Level 2 This password is

provided only for qualified personnel

PI Software Structure

The PI software is menu-driven branch oriented This means that the programmercan select a specific branch, which then usually branches out into more detailedlists In addition, the programmer is able to jump from one menu to another with norestrictions, except those demanded by specific password levels

When the PI software is first accessed, the ENTER PASSWORD prompt appears After

a valid password is entered, the Root Menu appears

Root Menu Variations

The Root Menu is the main menu in the PI structure, from which the rest of the PI issues.The PI software is part of the system software The Root Menu reflects the installed

software version by listing the available items specific to the installed software version.

1) This manual describes all of the root menu options except 1−Diagn, 2−Tables and6−Data The data programming interface is described in a separate document, while 2−Tables programming is reserved for TADIRAN’s internal use

Access to Specific Menus

Access to the menu items is performed by keying a sequence of digits from the rootmenu that route the user to the required branch, such as 0,6,0 which will route toPublic Libraries An alternative method for accessing items is to type the alpha oralphanumeric code for the item, such as LIB which provides direct access to SpeedCalling Libraries

access to a specific branch from anywhere in the system, except from the

NAME field While the numeric digit method allows access only from the

Root Menu.

E PI Terminal Control Function Commands

The PI terminal keyboard is used to enter data and to instruct the PI software toperform specific functions Several special function commands are available, andexecuted by simultaneously pressing the [CTRL] (Control) key and a specific letterkey The commands and their functions are listed in the following table

[CTRL] B Causes the previous field within the menu or list to be

displayed.

[CTRL] C Cancels the current process; returns PI to previous

menu or list.

[CTRL] D Often a displayed mode contains too many entries or

tables to be displayed on one screen (eg SLT

Definition - see page 9-5)

To view a subject one entry (screen) at a time, use the

[CTRL] D switch.

{V8.5x} To cancel, use [CTRL] D again as a toggle switch.

While this mode is active, after displaying the first

screen of entry, the PI pauses To continue viewing the

next screen of entry, press <CR> When the [CTRL] D

switch is activated, the following messages are

displayed:

activate: ***ENTRY BY ENTRY DISPLAY***

cancel: ***SCROLLING DISPLAY***

[CTRL] E Causes the End-of-Tablemessage to be shown, after

the last field in Update mode When activated

End-of-Table allows the [CTRL] B switch to jump to

PI Control Character and Escape Functions

Code Descrip ti on Remarks

[CTRL] H Defines the “Escape” or Home menu;

When [CTRL] H is entered the message

ESC will place you in this Node

appears This will now be the menu or list the PI

displays when [ESC] is pressed.

The ASCII character code defines [CTRL] H as the BACKSPACE character Some terminal keyboards can be configured to send a DELETE character when backspacing When available on the terminal, select this option to avoid changing the Escape menu.

[CTRL] N Used by Tadiran only.

Toggles the display of memory pools in chain order.

When activated the following messages are displayed:

*** CHAIN DISPLAY ***

*** NORMAL DISPLAY ***

[CTRL] O

{V9.xx}

Used by Tadiran only.

Used in 4GC Duplication Systems only.

Toggles terminal communication between the slave

and the master side When full duplication is invoked

(i.e., in the U and U’ configurations, see page 21-24),

[CTRL] O enables the technician to operate the PI

from the RMI or KB0 master terminals as if s/he is

physically located at the slave location.

After connecting (or disconnecting) the terminal to (or

from) the KB0/RMI slave side or KB0 master side, the

following message appears:

terminal connected

or terminal disconnected.

The following terminal status messages appear while

the terminal is being connected between sides:

switching terminal to slave side

or switching terminal to master side.

Recommendation:

Return to the Master sidebefore ending a PI session(with [CTRL] P)

[CTRL] P Ends the PI session; password entry is required to

start a new PI session Pressing [CTRL] P is

recommended when exiting in order to prevent

unauthorized operators from entering the PI and

causing damage From {V9.2x} (MSX only,with a

database greater than 512K), when changes are

made to systems that do not include an automatic

backup, the following message appears:

From {V8.5x}, there is an automatic logout upon inactive terminal (see page 17-12).

PI Control Character and Escape Functions (cont.)

Code Descrip ti on Remarks

[CTRL] Q Turns off the [CTRL] S command (below) [CTRL] Q and [CTRL] S

functions are commonly referred

to as X-On/X-Off or DC1/DC3 Some terminal keyboards include

a SCROLL LOCK key, which alternately sends a [CTRL] S and [CTRL]Q to toggle scrolling.

[CRTL] R Shows the current menu path from the Root Menu.

Utilized by KB0 only.

[CTRL] S Causes the display to stop scrolling.

[CTRL] T Displays current system status: Installation name,

current time and date, terminal number, password

level, system software version and system type

SVC/4GC.

[CTRL] U Causes the previous menu or list to be displayed.

[CTRL] V Terminates the display of stimuli messages.

[CTRL] W Toggles the 25-line scroll function on (display scrolls

25 lines and stops) and off (display scrolls to the end

of the menu, list, etc.).

H The Root Menu is the default; any menu or list may

be specified by moving to the desired menu and

entering [CTRL] H.

Routes

Branch headings (starting in Chapter 3) always show the subject and the routekeyed from the Root Menu to reach that subject, for example:

Installation - Route: ROOT (or 0,0,0,0)

Many option headings offer alternative routes; the first route given is the shortestroute and may be used from any point in the PI menu structure An example is:

Feature Timers - Route: FE.T (or 0,0,1,0)

“FE.T” (also called Direct Access Abbreviation) may be keyed to access the featuretimers from any location in the PI structure FE.T cannot be accessed when in Namefields The route shown by digits and commas is used only from the Root Menu

☞Digits must be separated by commas or spaces 0,0,0 and 0 0 0 are

acceptable; 000 is not acceptable.

Ranges and Defaults

The ranges and defaults available for a given programming option are presenteddirectly after the brief description of the option For example, the range and defaultsfor Station and Trunk COS, Page is shown as:

Range: Yes/No; Default: COS 0-9 = Yes, COS 10-15 = No

When a system default or range is not relevant, None will be shown as the entry Inaddition, when a range or default specification is not applicable for a specific option,the abbreviation N/A will be given instead of data

Database Forms

A document called Database Forms is provided for writing down the various siteprogramming definitions that differ from the defaults presented in this manual.Database Forms provides a convenient notebook for programmers to record specificsite data and information This information can then be used in order to redefinethe various PI parameters The headers of each major option in the Database Formsmirror the titles of each major option in this document

A Note Concerning Country Descriptions

When the system default is USA, zero (0) in the system type, then zero (0) in thecountry code defines a system operating under the USA standard; one (1) in thecountry code defines a system for any countries not listed below and is utilized asrequired; two (2) indicates Mexico; three (3) indicates Brazil

When the system default is European, two (2) in the system type, then the followingcodes are used for systems defined for specific countries or equivalent:

Eu = General European System Specifications
