LINKUP 5294 WITH DL5294 FIRMWARE

Appendix D: System/36 Configuration
Guide
NOTE
Before you change the configuration of the System/36, the LinkUp 5294 must be
configured according to the instructions in Section 7.5.
After completing configuration of the LinkUp 5294, configure the System/36.
System configuration is a process that specifies the machines and devices within a particular data-
processing system. The information you supply during the system-configuration process is stored in a
library member called a “configuration member.”
After the configuration member has been cleared or changed, you need to load the configuration
information within this member to the master configuration record. The load process must be
completed before the system can use this information to recognize new or changed devices and
communications lines. You can create a configuration member or change the information in an existing
configuration member by using the CNFIGSSP procedure.
NOTE
If you have data security on your system, you must have update access to the library
that contains the configuration member in order to change or delete a configuration
member (Option 2 in the Main Menu). To change or rebuild the master configuration
record (Options 12 and 13, in the Main Menu), you must have service aid authority.
Options 12 and 13 are not displayed if you do not have service aid authority.
The following step-by-step instructions show you how to use the CNFIGSSP procedure to create or
change a configuration member. The instructions also show you how to apply the configuration member
to the master record.
This appendix describes the steps necessary for configuration of the communication line, control unit,
and devices shown in Figure E-l. The configuration in Figure E-l is only an example. The possible
configuration combinations are too numerous to represent here.
