I had this same set of questions myself when I wanted to connect a dial-in
modem to our 8250 for RDC. The KA820 is the CPU's I/O interface, which seems
reasonable enough since the console is part of this module. The three lines
above the console are called Synchronous Line Units and are devices are
TCA0, TCB0, and TCC0. They are not standard devices as far as SYSGEN is
concerned -- to connect them, issue the commands:
SYSGEN> CONNECT SLU=1 ! connects TCA0
SYSGEN> CONNECT SLU=2 ! connects TCB0
SYSGEN> CONNECT SLU=3 ! connects TCC0
I got all this information from my field rep. I couldn't find any mention
of them in the documentation set.
