Matching AS/400 controller description parameters for a host system
You must match host system communications configuration parameters with AS/400 values. A description
of the AS/400 values are in the following table. For information about configuring host systems, see the
manuals
VTAM Installation and Resource Definition , SC23-0111, and Network Control Program Resource
Definition Reference , SC30-3254.
You can specify some host system parameters on multiple definition statements, such as the GROUP,
LINE, PU, and LU. The following table lists only the lowest level definition statement that is used by the
host system.
To configure an AS/400 to a host system:
v
See “Examples: Connecting AS/400 to a host system” on page 26 for an example of connecting an
AS/400 to a host system.
v
Use the following table for the controller description parameter.
AS/400 Prompt
AS/400
Parameter
Host Definition
Statement Host Parameter
Adjacent link station ADJLNKSTN PU name
AS/400 adjacent link station name must match the
name assigned to the PU macro instruction in the host
system switched major node definition. This match is
required if AS/400 host controller description specifies
RMTCPNAME(*ANY), SWITCHED(*YES) or
SNBU(*YES), and LINKTYPE is *SDLC or *IDLC.
This parameter should be specified only if the host
system is running VTAM Version 4 Release 1 or later
and NCP Version 6 Release 2 or later.
LAN remote adapter
address ADPTADR LINE LOCADD
Values specified for each system must match. If
LOCADD is specified, ECLTYPE=PHYSICAL must also
be specified on the GROUP definition statement.
PORT MACADDR
For 9370/LAN only, the AS/400 controller description
ADPTADR must match the host MACADDR parameter.
MACADDR can be coded as an 8- or 12-digit
hexadecimal number; the 8-digit variation assumes
4000
in the first four positions (
4000xxxxxxxx
).
Destination service
access point DSAP PORT SAPADDR
For 9370/LAN only, the AS/400 controller description
DSAP must match the host SAPADDR parameter.
The SAPADDR parameter is a decimal value (4-252);
the AS/400 value is specified as a 2-digit hexadecimal
number.
Local exchange
identifier LCLEXCHID PU IDBLK, IDNUM
For parallel connections only. Required if the AS/400
system specifies RMTCPNAME(*ANY),
SWITCHED(*YES), and LINKTYPE is *SDLC or *IDLC.
The LCLEXCHID specified must match the values
specified in the switched major node definition PU
macro instruction.
