NETWORK CONNECTIVITY
Offline connectivity for workstations
An offline interface option is available for workstations. These
interfaces require a front end processor as shown in figure 4-13.
There are several ways of loading data onto the front end
processor using magnetic media:
• Application job is loaded directly onto an Entire front end
using a 3.5 inch UNIX disk.
• Optional 3.5 inch DOS disk drive is also available for the
front end processor, allowing input from a DOS-formatted
3.5 inch diskette.
• Optional tape drive allows application input from a 9-track
reel-to-reel tape and an 18-track cartridge tape.
• Optional quarter-inch cartridge (QIC) drive allows application
input from a QIC tape.
