- ATTACH
The attach sequence necessary to run EVDLD is dependent upon
the device attached to the parallel port of the DMF32.
- LP
If an LP is attached to the parallel port the ATTACH sequence
should run as follows:
DS> ATTACH SBIA HUB SI0
DS> ATTACH DW780 SI0 DW0 3 4 ; attaches UBA to VAX 8600
OR
DS> ATTACH DW780 SBI DW0 3 4 ; attaches UBA TO 11/780
OR
DS> ATTACH DW750 HUB DW0 ; attaches UBA to 11/750
OR
DS> ATTACH DW730 HUB DW0 ; FOR VAX (11/730)
OR
DS> ATTACH DWBUA HUB DW0 n 4 ; FOR VAX 8200 WHERE
; n = BUA NODE ID (O-15)
OR
! FOR VAX 8800
DS>ATTACH NBIA HUB NBIAn ! where n 0 or 1
DS>LOGICAL ADAPTER # ? N ! 0 or 1
DS>ATTACH NBIB NBIAn
DS>Device Name ? NBIBn ! where n 0 to 3
DS>BI # ? n ! 0 or 1
DS>BI Node Number (HEX) ? n ! n 0 to F
DS>ATT DWBUA NBIBn DW0 x 4 ! where x = BI node # 0-F
DS> ATTACH DMF32P DW0 LCA 760340 300 5 LP
Note: If there is a Line Printer physically attached to the
port it MUST be powered up or it will cause mainten-
ance mode tests to fail.
- WRAP
If a wrap cable is attached to the parallel port the ATTACH
sequence should run as follows:
DS> ATTACH SBIA HUB SI0
DS> ATTACH DW780 SI0 DW0 3 4 ; attaches UBA to VAX 8600
OR
DS> ATTACH DW780 SBI DW0 3 4 ; attaches UBA TO 11/780
OR
DS> ATTACH DW750 HUB DW0 ; attaches UBA to 11/750
OR
DS> ATTACH DW730 HUB DW0 ; FOR VAX (11/730)
OR
DS> ATTACH DWBUA HUB DW0 n 4 ; FOR VAX 8200 WHERE
; n = BUA NODE ID (O-15)
OR
! FOR VAX 8800
DS>ATTACH NBIA HUB NBIAn ! where n 0 or 1
DS>LOGICAL ADAPTER # ? N ! 0 or 1
DS>ATTACH NBIB NBIAn
DS>Device Name ? NBIBn ! where n 0 to 3
DS>BI # ? n ! 0 or 1
DS>BI Node Number (HEX) ? n ! n 0 to F
DS>ATT DWBUA NBIBn DW0 x 4 ! where x = BI node # 0-F
DS> ATTACH DMF32P DW0 LCA 760340 300 5 WRAP
- OTHER
If nothing or a device not an LP or wrap cable is attached to
the parallel port the ATTACH sequence should run as follows:
DS> ATTACH SBIA HUB SI0
DS> ATTACH DW780 SI0 DW0 3 4 ; attaches UBA to VAX 8600
OR
DS> ATTACH DW780 SBI DW0 3 4 ; attaches UBA TO 11/780
OR
DS> ATTACH DW750 HUB DW0 ; attaches UBA to 11/750
OR
DS> ATTACH DW730 HUB DW0 ; FOR VAX (11/730)
OR
DS> ATT DWBUA HUB DW0 n 4 ; FOR VAX 8200 WHERE
; n = BUA NODE ID (O-15)
OR

DS>ATTACH NBIA HUB NBIAn ! where n 0 or 1
DS>LOGICAL ADAPTER # ? N ! 0 or 1
DS>ATTACH NBIB NBIAn
DS>Device Name ? NBIBn ! where n 0 to 3
DS>BI # ? n ! 0 or 1
DS>BI Node Number (HEX) ? n ! n 0 to F

- HELP
EVDLD is the DMF32 Parallel Port Diagnostic. It tests the Line Printer
Controller and DR11-C capabilities of the DMF32 device. For best results
a Line Printer or a Wrap Cable should be attached to the parallel port.
Without either of these the coverage of the diagnostic is severely
limited. With an LP on the port the Line Printer Controller function of
the device will be thoroughly tested and some rudimentary Line Printer
tests may be chosen; also The DR11-C Control and status register will
be tested. With a Wrap Cable on the Port the DR11-C portion of the
device will be tested thoroughly and the CSR of the LP will be tested.
- SECTIONS
There are three sections that can be chosen in EVDLD.
- DEFAULT
The default section runs all but the two LP tests which require manual
intervention.
- MANUAL
The manual section runs the two manual intervention LP tests.
- SWITCH
The switch section runs one test:
Reports the device enabled by the settings of switches 4
and 5 of Switch Pack 3 on the DMF32 Distribution Panel.

- DIST PANEL SWITCHES
The following distribution panel switch setting must be selected
to run the single line and modem tests.
SWITCH 1 ; 1=OFF, 2=ON, 3=OFF, 4=ON, 5=ON, 6=ON, 7=ON, 8=OFF, 9=ON, 10=ON
SWITCH 2 ; 1=OFF, 2=ON, 3=OFF, 4=ON, 5=ON, 6=ON, 7=ON, 8=OFF, 9=ON, 10=ON
- DEVICE
The only device supported by this diagnostic is the DMF32. However a
Line printer, Diagnostic Wrap Cable, or any other appropriate device
(or nothing) may be attached to the parallel port. If a Line Printer
is attached to the parallel port (J3), devices attached to the Async
and Sync ports are ignored. If a Wrap Cable is used, both the Async
(J2) and Parallel (J3) ports must be cabled.

- EVENT FLAGS
There are three event flags recognized by this diagnostic. EV3 tells
the diagnostic how a Unibus Init will affect the device. Event flags
number 4 and 5 control the format of buffer error messages.
- EV3
Event flag three informs the progam of the presence or absense of the
Unibus Init Jumper. Set EV3 if the Unibus Init Jumper is removed and
a Unibus Init will NOT affect the DMF32. Clear EV3 if the jumper is
in place.
- EV4
In many tests buffers of data are compared for correctness. In the
error message generated from these errors the incorrect entities of
data are printed. If EV4 is clear the maximum number of erroneous
data entries displayed is eight (8). If EV4 is set ALL erroneous data
entries will be displayed.
- EV5
In tests where buffers of data are compared for correctness the er-
ror message generated by an error in the buffer will display only
those data entries which are erroneous by default (EV5 clear). If
EV5 is set ALL entries in the buffer will be displayed. Note: if EV4
is clear only the first eight entries of the buffer will be printed.
To display an entire buffer (of greater than eight entries) both EV4
and EV5 should be set.
- QUICK
EVDLD ignores the QUICK flag.
- SUMMARY
EVDLD has no provisions for summary messages.
- MANUAL
The manual test section runs two tests that require manual
intervention:
LP Error Test
& LP Test
During the LP Error Test the user must manually switch the LP
off and on line at the appropriate program prompts. The LP test
runs some rudimentary LP test patterns on the LP which the oper-
ator must scan. Note: if the OPER flag is clear during the exec-
ution of this section the LP Error Test will perform no useful
testing. (Default values for questions used.)
- KNOWN_PROBLEMS
- ) If LP is specified as the Port Device the Init Code will attempt
to verify the connection by looking at the CONNECT.VERIFY bit in
the LP CSR. This bit is low if an LP is physically connected to
the port. A Wrap Cable attached will fool the CSR. Therefore, if
you specify LP as the Port Device but have a Wrap Cable connect-
ed the Init Code will not catch the error. The DR tests will not
be performed and the Print Enable, and Print Enable Interrupt
Tests will fail (do to the lack of an LP).
