摘要： A device access controller residing in a first computer system for transferring virtual inputs and outputs representing operations of the first system between the first system and a second system. The device access controller includes a video controller for performing video display operations, a video memory for storing video data representing operations of the first system, a network controller for transferring information between the first system and the second system, a controller processor, and a device access controller bus interconnecting the video controller, the network controller and the processor. A video interface is connected between the first system bus and the device access controller bus for receiving video information including video data and video write addresses from the first system bus and into the video memory and controller and the controller processor and network controller are responsive to the writing of video data into the video memory for reading the video information including the video data from the video memory and the video data write addresses from the video controller registers and transmitting the video information including the video data and the video data write addresses to the second system. The device access controller further includes a keyboard interface, a disk interface, and a serial interface operating in manners generally analogous to the video interface for corresponding communicating corresponding data between the first and second systems.

摘要： A support facility for installation of interprocessor unit cabling interconnecting the processor units of a multiple processor unit system in a first network, including a second system for directing the cabling interconnections of the first system and, in each processor unit of the first system, a device access controller connected through a second network to a second system, each device access controller including a memory for storing a unique identifier, and a network controller to interconnect to a network controller of at least one other processor unit. There is a selectably settable anchor bit indicator to indicate a processor unit selected as a first processor unit of the first network, a next connection indicator connected from the device access controller, and connected from the network controller, a transmit test indicator connected from the device access controller and a receive indicator connected from the device access controller. The second system identifies the units of the first system and directs a user through the cable interconnections of the first network.
