MEMORANDUM FOR: Distribution
FROM: ComMunications Segment Manager, ADD
SUBJECT: Minutes of the 29 June 1988 HCS Technical Exchange
Meeting
1. Representatives of FBIS/ESG, OIT/CED, CONTEL, and Lockheed
Electronics (LEC) met in the ESG conference room at 1330 hours on
Wednesday, 29 June 1988. The agenda is provided in Attachment A.
The list of attendees is provided in Attachment B.
2. New Connectivity Requirements - Five telephone changes were
requested by FBIS.
Remove call waI
t na frnm nnn r cure extension
has telephone Many callers in Maryland
ai to use the area code and are routed to this extension, with
a rate as high as 1 each minute. (Note: CONTEL made this
change effective 6 July 1988.)
b. Four additional secure telephones in the User Support
Branch need to support Classified AFS terminals. (Note:
Detailed requirements for these secure lines are being drafted
in memorandum FBIS-2430/88, which is to be submitted to OIT.)
3. Schedules
a. Delivery of LEC reported that the four
terminal server cabinets with wiring harnesses are ready for
delivery to FBIS. Access holes have been punched to permit
running communication cables between the cabinets. It does not
appear that anti-chafing material is required in the holes for
protection of the cables. One hole remains to be punched in the
cabinet side adjacent to the Flex IM. It was agreed to proceed
shipping the cabinets to FBIS during the following week.
(Note: the cabinets arrived at FBIS on 6 July 1988.)

SUBJECT: Minutes of the 29 June 1988 HCS Technical Exchange Meeting
b. Installation - The Flex IM is positioned in the Data
Center and the fiber optic cable has been installed. The secure
circuits in the Data Center are to be rerouted through the
Flex IM by the end of July 1988. The STE to ITE conversions are
in progress and should be completed by 18 July 1988.
c. Testing
1) has provided the end-to-end circuit test
plan shown in Attachment C. That plan needs to be modified
to reflect the extensive capabilities of the terminal server
in supporting such tests.
2) OIT plans to begin tests after the STE to ITE
conversions are completed. is available for
those tests but does not have the required security
clearances for working with equipment attached to the
secure PBX. As a precaution, he is documenting a test
procedure for CONTEL personnel which makes use of the
terminal server (Action Item HCS-081).
d. Sealing Data Center
1) The non-secure telephone circuits in the Data Center
are expected to be run through fiber optic isolators by the
end of July 1988. It is expected that each circuit
conversion takes no more than thirty minutes to complete.
2) has prepared a letter requesting isolation
of the MINWK and Wang ICT circuits. The letter needs
approval by the respective contracting officers before
CONTEL can accept the task. It is expected that each
circuit conversion may take several hours to complete.

4. Security Concerns
a. The present configuration of the terminal server ports
is set up as:
Configuration
Dial-up Ports
Nailed Terminal Ports
Nailed Printer Ports
See
Qty Attachment
17 D
377 E
54 F
Total Ports
448
b. Requirements call for twenty one dial-up terminals to
access AFS. This means that there are four more dial-up
terminals than available dial-up terminal server ports.
a) Reduce the number of dial-up circuits to match
the available number of dial-up ports.

b) Reduce the number of nailed circuits attached to
the terminal server, freeing up ports to be reconfigured
for supporting dial-up terminals. In this case, the
nailed circuits remain in place but cannot be used until
the number of terminal server ports is expanded to
accommodate them. FBIS needs to determine which
circuits can be disconnected. (Note: the only reason
for dial-up AFS circuits is to permit sharing of
telephone lines with VM terminals.)
5. Port Distribution - Detailed informat4on reardin terminal
server port distribution has been provided to DC/AFSB.
Some of the information needs to be updated but no significant
problems are evident at this time.
6. Action Item Review - The status of the action items reviewed
in the meeting are listed as Attachment G.
7. Future HCS Communications Technical Exchange Meetings may
not be required. It is expected that present outstanding issues can
be addressed outside the TEM environment.

Verification of end-to-end data transfer can be accomplished
by:
A. Station Equipment
1. Connecting a Type 1 RS-232 cable to the AD/-100 or DOB-1 being
tested.
2. Connecting a Async terminal to the other end of the cable
installed in step 1 (above).
B. Switch Equipment
1. Connecting a Type 1 RS-232 cable to the 11DI-101 being tested.
2. Connecting a Type 1 data source to the other end of the
cable installed in step 1 (above).
Upon completion of steps A and B (above) verify data transfer
by:
Going off-hook on the ITE 12 Plus or ITE 128, dialing the
appropriate directory number, hearing the carrier tone (the
data lamp will be flashing).
Push the data button to make connection (the data lamp will be
solid), and going on-hook. (The data lamp will remain solidly
lit.)
Transmitting data (the Quick Brown Fox message) from the
switch equipment data source, and receiving the transmitted
data at the station equipment terminal.
Disconnect the Async terminal from the station equipment
RS-232 cable, and connect the Type 1 data source to the RS-232
cable.
Disconnect the Type 1 data source from the switch equipment
RS-232 cable, and connect the Async terminal to the RS-232
cable.
Transmit data (the Quick Brown Fox message) from the station
equipment data source, and-verify receiving the transmitted
data at the switch equipment terminal.
(When data transfer has been verified, push the data button to
disconnect the data path, the data lamp will be extinguished.)
Repeat these procedures for each applicable switch equipment
location. (ADI-101 in the dial-up group), also, perform this
test from each applicable station equipment location (only 1
switch equipment location. ADI-101, need be tested from the
remaining station equipment locations.)
