DCS AUTODIN Interface and Control Criteria

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0877008 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The Circular specifies procedures to be used for the control of data being interchanged between interconnected elements of the DCS AUTODIN. DCS AUTODIN consists of leased Automatic Switching Centers ASCs used in the Continental United States CONUS and Government-owned ASCs used overseas. These procedures define the block format for messages and rules for transmission and checking which provide the means of detection and orderly correction of errors. Included is an explanation of a technique in which the parity of control characters differs from that of other digital characters. This parity control system is intended to allow a user connected to the DCS AUTODIN the use of any seven-bit information character without interfering with the communication control functions.
