553-3001-306 Standard 10.00 January 2002
The display screen of a Meridian Modular set contains two lines with 24
character spaces on each line. Previously, the second line on the display
screen of an idle Meridian Modular set was blank. With the Electronic
Brandlining feature, however, a custom display is shown left justified on the
second line of the idle display screen.
Incremental Software Management
An Incremental Software Management (ISM) parameter is introduced with
the Electronic Brandlining feature. This ISM parameter is used to transfer
custom display information from the Order Management System to X11
software. The Electronic Brandlining ISM value is copied from the
appropriate tape/keycode/file into X11 software during sysload. The X11
software then sends the custom display to the display screen of a Meridian
Modular set.
The Electronic Brandlining ISM value contains one of the following:
• a Terminal Text Broadcast customized text string value
• a default value
The value of the Electronic Brandlining ISM parameter determines the
content of the Electronic Brandlining custom display.
Overlay 22 is modified to print the Electronic Brandlining ISM parameters.
When REQ = SLT (Print System Limits: Incremental Software Management)
in Overlay 22, the ISM parameters and system limits are printed. The printing
of the Electronic Brandlining custom display output is added after the ISM
parameters, if applicable. For Option 11C, ISM keywords are printed, in
addition to the ISM system limits.
Option 11C and Input-Output Disk Unit with CD-ROM (IODU/C) customers
can deliver ISM parameters via keycode. A keycode is a machine-generated
digitally signed list of customer capabilities and authorized software release.
A security keycode scheme protects ISM parameters.
