Configuring SDLC PUs
SLDC PU configuration falls into one of three categories:
●
FRX8000 HPAD and TPAD PUs
●
N7000 HPAD PUs
●
N7000 TPAD PUs
HPAD PU configuration in both FRX8000 and N7000 defines the TPADs that will
communicate with each HPAD. TPAD PU configuration defines the remote devices
that will connect to each TPAD.
On an N7000 SNA port, the first HPAD/TPAD is defined in the Port file,
and the PU file is used to define any additional TPADs/PUs.
You are required to enter subscriber IDs when creating PU records. If a
Subscriber record has not been created for one of these IDs, you will see
No match in Database
when you enter its ID. This is OK as long as you
create the record before attempting to initiate HPAD-TPAD communi-
cation.

The display will depend on whether the SNA PAD is an N7000 HPAD (Figure 11-5),
N7000 TPAD (Figure 11-6), or FRX8000 PAD of either type (Figure 11-7).
