The following table describes how to coordinate values that are specified for parameters on the iSeries™ LINECON parameter.
The LINECON parameter is specified as a series of 8 bits, designated 0 through 7 (01234567). The default value for the LINECON parameter when used with an SDLC line is 01000001, or hex 41.
The default value for each bit is underlined in the Bit Value column.
To configure the iSeries server to a 3684 retail controller, use the following table.
| LINECON Bit | Bit Value | iSeries Parameter and Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | None | Enabled at initial microprogram load (IML). There is no equivalent parameter for the iSeries system. Specify 0 to indicate that the controller is enabled at IML, or 1 to indicate that the controller is not enabled at IML. |
| 1 | None | ||
| 1 | 0 | NRZI(*NO) | Specifies NRZI data encoding with leading pads (1) or non-NRZI without leading pads (0). |
| 1 | NRZI(*YES) | ||
| 2 and 3 | 00 | SWITCHED (*YES) and CNN(*SWTPP) |
Bit 2: Specify 1 is using nonswitched communications, or 0 if using switched communications. If switched, the SENDID parameter must also be specified. Bit 3: Specify 1 if using a multipoint communications protocol, or 0 if not. 01 is not a valid combination for these bits. |
| 01 | Not valid | ||
| 10 | SWITCHED(*NO) and CNN(*NONSWTPP) | ||
| 11 | SWITCHED(*NO) and CNN(*MP) | ||
| 4 | 0 | SNBU(*NO) | Switched network backup. |
| 1 | SNBU(*YES) | ||
| 5 | 0 | MODEMRATE(*FULL) | Data rate select speed. |
| 1 | MODEMRATE(*HALF) | ||
| 6 | 0 | DUPLEX(*HALF) | Data carrier setting. |
| 1 | DUPLEX(*FULL) | ||
| 7 | 0 | None | Answer tone generation. There is no equivalent parameter for the iSeries system. Specify 0 to indicate that the controller generates the answer tone, or 1 to indicate that the answer tone is omitted. |
| 1 | None |
