PRIME's uniform operating system, PRIMOS, supports a wide range of
communications products to suit any distributed processing need. The PRIMENET
distributed networking facility provides complete local and remote network
communication services for all PRIME systems. PRIME's Remote Job Entry (RJE)
products enable multi-user PRIME systems to emulate IBM, CDC, Univac,
Honeywell and ICL remote job entry terminals over synchronous communication
lines. PRIME's Distributed Processing Terminal Executive (DPTX) allows users
to construct communication networks with PRIME and IBM-compatible equipment.

PRIMENET
--------

PRIMENET provides complete local and remote network communication services
for all PRIME systems. PRIMENET networking software lets a user or process on
one PRIME system communicate with any other PRIME system in the network
without concern for any protocol details. A user can log in to any computer
in the network from any terminal in the network. With PRIMENET, networking
software processes running concurrently on different systems can communicate
interactively. PRIMENET allows transparent access to any system in the
network without burdening the user with extra commands.

PRIMENET has been designed and implemented so that user interface is simple
and transparent. Running on a remote system from a local node of the network
or accessing remote files requires no reprogramming of user applications or
extensive user training. All the intricacies and communication protocols of
the network are handled by the PRIMENET software. For both the local and
remote networks, PRIMENET will allow users to share documents, files, and
programs and use any disk or printer configured in the network.

For a local network between physically adjacent systems, PRIME offers the
high-performance microprocessor, the PRIMENET Node Controller (PNC). The
controller users direct memory access for low overhead and allows loosely
coupled nodes to share resources in an efficient manner. The PNCs for each
system are connected to each other with a coaxial cable to form a high-speed
ring network, with up to 750 feet (230 meters) between any two systems.

Any system in the PNC ring can establish virtual circuits with any other
system, making PNC-based networks "fully connected" with a direct path between
each pair of systems. The ring has sufficient bandwidth (1 MB per second) and
addressing capability to accommodate over 200 systems in a ring structure;
however, PRIMENET currently supports up to sixteen systems on a ring to
operate as a single local network.

The PRIMENET Node Controller is designed to assure continuity of operation
in the event that one of the systems fails. One system can be removed from
the network or restored to on-line status without disturbing the operations of
the other system. An active node is unaware of messages destined for other
nodes in the network, and the CPU is notified only when a message for that
node has been correctly received.

Synchronous communications over dedicated leased lines or dial-up lines is
provided through the Multiple Data Link Controller (MDLC). This controller
handles certain protocol formatting and data transfer functions normally
performed by the operating system in other computers. The controller's
microprogrammed architecture increases throughput by eliminating many tasks
from central processor overhead.

The communications controller also supports multiple protocols for
packet-switched communications with Public Data Networks such as the United
States' TELENET and TYMNET, the Canadian DATAPAC, Great Britain's
International Packet Switching Service (IPSS), France's TRANSPAC, and the
European Packet Switching Network, EURONET. Most Public Data Networks require
computers to use the CCITT X.25 protocol to deal with the management of
virtual circuits between a system and others in the network. The synchronous
communications controller supports this protocol. PRIME can provide the X.25
protocol for use with the PRIMENET networking software without modification to
the existing hardware configuration.

PRIMENET software offers three distinct sets of services. The
Inter-Program Communication Facility (IPCF) lets programs running under the
PRIMOS operating system establish communications paths (Virtual circuits) to
programs in the same or another PRIME system, or in other vendors' systems
supporting the CCITT X.25 standard for packet switching networks. The
Interactive Terminal Support (ITS) facility permits terminals attached to a
packet switching network, or to another PRIME system, to log-in to a PRIME
system with the same capabilities they would have if they were directly
attached to the system. The File Access Manager (FAM) allows terminal users
or programs running under the PRIMOS operating system to utilize files
physically stored on other PRIME systems in a network. Remote file operations
are logically transparent to the application program. This means no new
applications and commands need to be learned for network operation.
