4Host Connections

This chapter provides explanations on how to configure controller lines and PU connections 
to the host.

4.1Line Definitions

4.1.1Introduction

The controller can be connected to the AS/400 via SYNC or LAN.  A SYNC line runs either 
SDLC or X.25 protocols.  A LAN connection runs LLC protocol. These connections can be 
either to the same or different AS/400.

The  controller supports up to 2 line connections:

1 SYNC lines

1 Token Ring or Ethernet connection.

To connect the control unit (CU) to the network carry out the following two procedures:

1. Define the line types via which communication with the AS/400 occurs.  The options 

available depend on the definitions in the  “Hardware configuration” menu group.

2. Configure the line description for each selected line type:

The parameters of each of the defined lines should be configured according to the line 
descriptions in the AS/400.  Refer to chapter 9, for more details on how to define and 
configure the line in the AS/400.
