IBM 3205 COLOR DISPLAY CONSOLE Announcement Letter Number 184-149 dated October 25, 1984 US - Last Revised on October 25, 1984 Brief Description of Announcement, Charges, and Availability The IBM 3205 Color Display Console is a low cost console for the IBM 4361 or 4381 Processor. It is a compact unit with a 14-inch CRT displaying 1920 characters with bright, clear colors, and a smudge-free screen surface. It is functionally equivalent to an IBM 3279 Color Display Console model 2C, and is designed and priced to replace the monochrome IBM 3278 Display Console model 2A as well as the 3279 model 2C with no required programming changes. Customer Letter Section HIGHLIGHTS * Functionally equivalent to the IBM 3279 Color Display Console model 2C * Screen Characteristics - Bright, clear colors - Etched, enhanced contrast CRT screen designed to reduce both light reflections and fingerprint smudges and to produce high quality, high resolution alphameric text. * 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 than the 3279, and is 10 kilograms (22 pounds) lighter. DESCRIPTION The 3205 consists of five units: video, logic, keyboard, pedestal, and line cord. An audible alarm and security keylock are standard. The keyboard layout is compatible with existing consoles. It does not, however, include an integrated operator control panel (OCP). That function is provided by the processor, and is implemented differently on the 4361 or 4381. * On the 4361 a new integrated operator control panel (IOCP) is provided for 3205 users. One 3205 can be attached to a 4361. See Product Announcement 184-150, dated October 25, 1984, for ordering details. * On the 4381, EC#A20156 will provide users of the 3205 with a small standalone OCP which can be attached to the 3205 or located separately. This EC will be included on all 4381s shipped after November 30, 1984, but must be ordered for 4381s shipped prior to that date. Up to four 3205s can be attached to a 4381. Only one OCP can be attached to each 4381 and is required only for the primary console. Note: 3205s cannot be intermixed on the same system with a 3278 model 2A or 3279 model 2C.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION SPECIFIED OPERATING ENVIRONMENT SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS: Software support is compatible with the software currently supporting the 3278 model 2A or 3279 model 2C. COMPATIBILITY: The 3205 is functionally equivalent to the 3279 model 2C. The base color support is: Protected and intensified fields - White Unprotected and intensified fields - Red Protected and normal intensity fields - Blue Unprotected and normal intensity fields - Green SECURITY, AUDITABILITY, AND CONTROL The system control programs supporting the 3205 contain functions that provide security, auditability, and control. In addition, the 3205 is equipped with a standard two-position key lock switch to control access to the console. User management is responsible for evaluation, selection, and implementation of these features, and for appropriate controls in application systems. If sensitive data is sent over external communication facilities, user management may wish to pursue the application of cryptography.
