Section I. OFFICIAL
Topic: - IDENTIFYING DIRECTLY-CONNECTED TAC USERS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: The following requirement is not addressed to Tech Liaison or to
Host Administrators, but to individual, direct-connected (not dial-up)
TAC users. It will be placed in the TAC News Server as one means of
getting it to the intended recipients. Hosts are also requested to
make it available to account holders on their machines via bulletin
boards, or such other means as are feasible. IMPORTANT: This is a
completely separate requirement from the TACACS registration drive now
underway.
IDENTIFICATION OF DIRECTLY CONNECTED TAC USERS REQUIRED
All directly connected (dedicated) users of TACs are asked to provide
the following information to the Defense Data Network Program
Management Office (DDN-PMO) not later than 16 Dec 1983. Information
should be sent by electronic mail to gpark@ddn1. (If the sender does
not have access to an electronic mail system, the information may be
sent instead to HQ DCA Code B627, Washington, DC 20305, ATTN: Major
Parker). This information is necessary in order to complete the
physical split of the MILNET/ARPANET backbone, AND IS IN ADDITION TO
THAT WHICH IS REQUIRED FOR THE TACACS REGISTRATION. Because of a
shortage of TAC ports to serve new requirements, and/or as a result of
long lead times for obtaining circuits if rehoming is required, users
who remain unidentified beyond the date requested above may be subject
to interruption of network service. The following information is
required. INSTRUCTIONS FOR EACH ITEM ARE GIVEN BELOW.
1. Name of principle user/phone/U.S. mail address:
2. Terminal Location:
3. Circuit Number and description:
4. Organization:
5. DoD affiliation:
6. TAC used:
7. TAC Port:
8. Primary electronic mailbox address:
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. If more than one person uses the terminal, enter name of person
who is primarily responsible for the terminal. Person listed will be
used as Point of Contact for circuit actions if rehoming is required.
2. Provide the physical location of the terminal. Include room
number, bldg number, street address, etc.
3. The circuit number may be obtained from your local telephone
company. Circuit description should include line speed, modem types,
and other communications equipment, if any.
4. Enter the specific, local organization of the principle user.
If military, this would be Squadron, Company, etc. If Contractor or
University, give the comparable local organization.
5. For military organizations, enter the name of the parent
Service. For Contractors or Universities, enter that branch of the
DoD which sponsors your participation in the network. For non-DoD
agencies such as DOE, enter the corresponding non-DoD branch of the
government.
6. The name of the TAC is included in the TAC herald.
7. The TAC port to which you are connected is also included in the
TAC herald.
8. E.g., gpark@DDN1. This information will enable us to determine
whether it is necessary to rehome your terminal to a different TAC than
the one to which your are currently homed.
Any questions pertaining to this requirement may be addressed to Major
Glynn Parker, DCA Code B627, (gpark@ddn1), (703) 285-5133 or (AV)
356-5133.
