1 Introduction

The Program Interface (PI) is a detailed, menu-driven, interface system for
programming the Coral System.
This chapter gives general information on how to use the Program Interface and
how to set-up the PI software and hardware equipment. The PI terminal commands
are listed in tabular form for easy reference. Other conventions and shorthand
notations used in this manual are also listed at the end of the chapter.

A. General Description
The Program Interface (PI) is a detailed, menu-driven, interface system for
programming the Coral System. It also provides access to the diagnostic facilities
contained within the system software.
The PI is entered through any of the following types of connecting devices:
1) video display data terminal, 2) keyboard send/receive (KSR) printer data
terminal, or 3) a data terminal and modem, 4) PC with VT emulator.
An additional PI function allows saving and restoring the entire database contents
to a binary disk file, using a personal computer (PC) running Microsoft® MS-DOS
®

operating system, and TADIRAN save/restore software. This software includes a
terminal emulator program which allows the PC to act as a video display data
terminal. Contact TADIRAN for details.
The Program Interface (PI) data terminal is connected to the Coral through one of
the three RMI card RS-232C interfaces, or through the internal modem on the RMI
card. One RS-232C interface is provided at the front panel of the MSX card in the
CORAL Common Control or MCDX card in the DX Common Control. The three
additional RS-232C interfaces for PI access are provided at the cable pinouts of the
RMI card on the Main Distribution Frame (MDF).
In the Coral SL the PI is connected to one of two RS-232E interfaces. One KB0 is
provided at the front side of the MCPsl card. The second KB1 is provided at the
upper side of the MSBsl card. Additionally, the PI can be connected through an
internal modem (KB4) located on the MSBsl card.
Multiple but simultaneous, independent PI sessions from different monitors are
possible, though this practice is not recommended.
Access to the PI is restricted to trained and qualified programmers. Uncertified
personnel can unknowingly cause serious damage to the communication system
database.
The terminal or printer displays Coral-generated prompts (questions, instructions,
options, etc.) in plain English; the programmer can usually make an entry, skip to
the next prompt, or exit the programming function. The various card functions can
be accessed using a written command, e.g. NPL to “jump” directly to the Numbering
Plan or accessed stepwise, e.g. (0,0,5).
Entries are made using a standard keyboard; the keyboard DELETE
(not BACKSPACE) key is used on most terminals to erase incorrect characters.
Entries are displayed as they are keyed.
PI programming changes take effect in “real time”; that is, as soon as the command
is given, the change is entered into the system memory, and immediately takes effect.
