Remote Subscriber ID
is the subscriber address of the remote end of an SNA connection. (A Subscriber
record or LLC2 Host record must also be configured for this ID.)
Maximum Bytes per Frame
is the maximum frame size that the PU can transmit or receive.
SDLC Station Address
is the address of the controller. It is sometimes called the Physical Unit (PU) Address
or Link Address.
Autocall
allows automatic calling between an HPAD and a TPAD as soon as one or the other
becomes active. Specifying
Y
on an HPAD will initiate autocall from that HPAD’s
port.
Either the HPAD or the TPAD must have (and both may have) autocall enabled.
Autocall Timer
is the length of time between autocalls if there is no response from the remote end.
Maximum Retry Autocall
is the maximum number of times an autocall will be sent.
LLC2 Conversion
specifies whether SDLC-LLC2 conversion will be done on the PU connection, either
locally or at a remote node via an X.25 logical or physical port.
If SDLC-LLC2 conversion will be done, this parameter must be
configured as
Y
; otherwise, the PU will not re-activate properly
after the session unless an on-line update (
[F7]
) is performed in
the logical port record.
LLC2 Parameters
Local SAP Address
is the remote service access point (SAP) address used to connect the PU to the host.
This parameter is relevant only in a connection to a 3174 or AS/400-type setup where
a specific source SAP address is required. If the LLC2 session will be run over a native
LLC2 frame relay interface, the parameter will be ignored.
Local MAC Address
identifies the PU to the host. Like the local SAP address, this parameter is relevant
only in a connection to a 3174 or AS/400-type setup where a specific source MAC
address is required. If the LLC2 session will be run over a native LLC2 frame relay
interface, the parameter will be ignored.
IDBLK
is used in conjunction with
IDNUM
in generating the Node field in an XID frame
(format 0 or 3) to establish a link station connection to the host. A further explanation
is provided under “IDNUM.”
