HIGHLIGHTS
* Low price plus volume procurement discounts up to 40% at
quantities of 3,000 or more.
* Compatibility
- Plug compatible with IBM 3279 display Models S2A, S2B, 2A,
2B, and 2X with comparable function.
- Can be used in existing 3178 or 3278 environments to display
four colors with existing field attribute definitions.
* Screen characteristics
- Bright, clear colors.
- Requires no color convergence adjustments.
- Etched, enhanced contrast CRT screen is designed to reduce
both light reflections and fingerprint smudges and to produce
high quality, high resolution alphameric text.
* New keyboard
- A new modifiable keyboard with 122 keys provides 24
individual program function (PF) keys, a numeric pad in
adding machine layout, and cursor-move keys positioned in a
cross pattern for easier use.
- Keyboard layout can be modified by the customer to fit
application requirements.
- Low-profile, movable keyboard with coiled cable has an
adjustment for use at any of three angles of inclination: 6,
12, or 18 degrees.
- Keyboard switch setting by operator allows either of two
modes of keyboard operation:
. Emulation mode
When a 3179 keyboard is used in Emulation mode, it must
be attached to the following engineering change (EC) or
microcode release levels of the control unit or
Display/Printer Adapter.
3275 Any EC level
3274
Configuration Support A Microcode Release Level 15
or higher
Configuration Support B Microcode Release Level 26
or higher
Configuration Support C Microcode Release Level 47
or higher
Configuration Support D Microcode Release Level 61
or higher
Configuration Support P Any Microcode Release Level
Configuration Support T Microcode Release Level 31
or higher
4321 Any EC level
4331 Any EC level
4361 Any EC level
The 3179 keyboard emulates existing 3178, 3278, or 3279
typewriter keyboard. (#4621, #4627)
If the 3274 is configured to support ASCII, the necessary
keyboard changes are made by using clear lens keycaps and
paper insert accessories.
If the 3274 is configured to support entry assist in
Emulation mode, the necessary keyboard changes are made
by using clear lens keycaps and paper insert accessories
or stick on labels which are shipped with the 3274
Control Unit or ordered as publications.
. Native mode
When a 3179 keyboard is used in Native mode, it must be
attached to a 3274 with Configuration Support D
(microcode Release 63). This combination provides
several levels of function:
If the 3274 is configured to support entry assist or
response time monitor, a keyboard overlay is used to
indicate the appropriate definition of the PF keys.
If the 3274 is configured to support APL or data entry,
the necessary keycaps to change the keyboard
appropriately are available as accessories.
The 3274 keyboard definition utility is used to redefine
the keyboard layout. Additionally, the construction of
the keyboard is such that all standard size (or square)
keys have a removable keycap upon which the nomenclature
is engraved. With these facilities, a customer may define
the keyboard layout by swapping, moving, deleting, or
copying keys. Sets of keycaps will be made available as
accessories to accommodate some common layouts. Clear
lens keycaps and paper inserts will also be provided for
customer-unique labeling.
* Attachment
The 3179 attaches to a 3274 Control Unit, a 3276 Control Unit
Display Station (via the Terminal Adapter), or a 4321, 4331, or
4361 Processor (via the Display/Printer Adapter).
* Functional offerings
- The 3179 consists of five machine elements: video, logic,
keyboard, pedestal, and line cord.
- Audible alarm and security keylock are standard.
- Keyboard numeric lock (ON/OFF) is standard, selected via
keyboard switch setting by operator.
- The 3276 and the Display/Printer Adapter of 4321, 4331, and
4361 support four-color only. The 3274 supports both
four-color and seven-color.
- The ASCII keyboard layout is available in Emulation mode via
the use of clear lens keycap and paper insert accessories.
- The 3179 allows the customer who does not need the numerics
on the 'numeric pad' and who wants to ease the learning
process associated with the new PF key locations to copy some
PF keys down to the 'numeric pad.' PF keycaps for standard
keyboard layout are available as an accessory.
- The 3179 consumes less than half the energy and generates
less heat than the 3279.
- The 3179 does not provide the following 3279 optional
functions:
. 2560-character screen
. Magnetic reader control
. Selector light pen
. Programmed symbols (no GDDM graphics capabilities)
. Video output
. Operator selected color and highlight keys
* Human Factors
- Video pedestal, provided as standard, provides 19.4 degrees
of tilt (minus 4.4 to plus 15 degrees) and 180 degrees of
swivel (plus or minus 90 degrees from the center position).
- Compact display unit takes approximately one-third less desk
space, compared to the 3279, and is 10 kilograms (22 pounds)
lighter.
DESCRIPTION
* The 3179 attaches to a 3274 Control Unit, a 3276 Control Unit
Display Station (via the Terminal Adapter), or a 4321, 4331, or
4361 Processor (via the Display/Printer Adapter).
* Entry assist is supported for the 3179 in Emulation and Native
modes when the 3274 has appropriate microcode. This can provide
improved operator convenience and productivity for text-related
tasks.
Note: Keyboard overlays may be used for the nomenclature in
Native mode. Stick on labels shipped with the 3274 Control Unit
or ordered as publications may be used for the nomenclature in
Native mode.
* The response time monitor and alert capability are supported for
the 3179.
* The 3179 supports ASCII requirements in Emulation mode via the
use of clear lens keycap accessories, which can be labeled with
the appropriate ASCII notation. It is required that the control
unit be customized for ASCII.
* The 3179 supports APL and data entry keyboards via the use of
accessory keycaps in Native mode.
* The 3179 supports standard emulation keyboard layout via the use
of accessory keycaps and 3274 keyboard definition utility.
* Various keycaps are provided as accessories and can be ordered
from the IBM National Distribution Division (NDD) for the
modification of the keyboard. (See your IBM marketing
representative.)
* The following accessory keycap changes are available for shipment
only from the IBM plant at the time of machine order entry:
- APL Keycaps and Keycap Removal Tool (feature #3028)
- Data Entry Keycaps and Keycap Removal Tool (feature #3031)
- Clear Lens Keycaps (60 caps) and Keycap Removal Tool (feature
#3025)
- PF Keycaps for 87-Key Typewriter Keyboard Layout and Keycap
Removal Tool (feature #3034)
* The 3179 must be used with Configuration Support D with microcode
Release 63 in the attached 3274 to take advantage of the
modifiable aspects of the keyboard.
* The keyboard definition utility is supported in the 3274
Configuration Support D with microcode Release 63.
* A keyboard removal tool is standard with the 3179, so the
customer can readily change keycaps.
* A Switch Control Unit (feature #9181) is available as an
accessory and can be ordered from the IBM National Distribution
Division (NDD). It is also available for shipment only from the
IBM plant at the time of machine order entry.
* Through the use of error indicators, offline tests, and the
Customer Problem Analysis and Resolution (CPAR) guide, the
customer will isolate a failing element for repair or
replacement.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
SPECIFIED OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
SOFTWARE SUPPORT: The 3179 is supported, like the 3279, by the
current level of DOS/VSE, OS/VS1, OS/VS2 (MVS), VM/SP, VM/SP High
Performance Option, and SSX/VSE for System/370, 30XX, and 4300
processors. It is supported by DPPX and DPCX for 8100 systems. The

SECURITY, AUDITABILITY, AND CONTROL
Data security functions provided by the 3179 are non-display
field control (specified in the attribute byte) and the security
keylock. User management is responsible for implementation of these
functions. If sensitive data is sent over external communications
facilities, user management may wish to pursue the application of
cryptography. For more information on data security controls, see
'Data Security Controls and Procedures' (G320-5649).
PLANNING INFORMATION

Customers are responsible for all modifications they make to
the 3179 keyboard.
Customers are responsible for handling any keyboard changes
necessary in the event of a maintenance action. That is, the customer
should remove all special keycaps prior to submitting a keyboard for
