Match iSeries system parameters for FBSS finance controllers

You must coordinate several parameter values that are specified for the iSeries™ system and IBM® Financial Branch System Services (FBSS) finance controllers in the controller configuration. The following table shows those iSeries configuration parameters that must match values on the SDLC, Token-Ring, or X.25DLC configuration displays for FBSS controllers.

iSeries prompts are listed in alphabetical order by parameter name; the iSeries commands on which the parameters are specified are included in the rightmost column of the table.

For more information about configuring FBSS controllers, see the IBM Financial Branch System Services Installation Planning and Administration Guide, SC19-5173.

For more information about configuring the 4700 controllers, see Volume 6 of the 4700 Finance Communication System Controller Programming Library, GC31-2068.

To configure the iSeries server to a FBSS finance controller:

Table 1. iSeries parameters that must match values for the FBSS controllers
iSeries Prompt iSeries Parameter FBSS Configuration Display FBSS Prompt
LAN adapter address ADPTADR Token Ring Communications PC address

If the iSeries system uses a Token-Ring network line to connect to the FBSS controller, values specified for the FBSS and on the ADPTADR parameter on the CRTLINTRN command must match.

If the iSeries system uses an Ethernet line through an 8209 LAN Bridge, see "Appendix C: Local Area Network Addressing Considerations" in the Communications Configuration Link to PDF book.
Host/37xx/4700 address

If the iSeries system uses a Token-Ring network line to connect to the FBSS controller, values specified for the FBSS and on the ADPTADR parameter on the CRTLINTRN command must match.

If the iSeries system uses an Ethernet line through an 8209 LAN Bridge, see "Appendix C: Local Area Network Addressing Considerations" in the Communications Configuration Link to PDF book.
Connection type CNN SDLC Communications Switched line

Values specified for the FBSS and iSeries configurations must match:

  • If the FBSS response is Yes, CNN(*SWTPP) must be specified for the CRTLINSDLC command and SWITCHED(*YES) for the CRTCTLFNC command.
  • If the FBSS response is No, CNN(*NONSWTPP) or CNN(*MP) must be specified for the CRTLINSDLC command and SWITCHED(*NO) for the CRTCTLFNC command.
Destination service access point DSAP Token Ring Communications Service access point for PC

Values specified for the FBSS and for the DSAP parameter on the CRTCTLFNC command must match.
Duplex DUPLEX SDLC Communications Line mode

Values specified for the FBSS and iSeries configurations must match:

  • If the FBSS response is Turn. required, DUPLEX(*HALF) must be specified for the CRTLINSDLC command.
  • If the FBSS response is CRTS (Continuous request to send), DUPLEX(*FULL) must be specified for the CRTLINSDLC command.
Exchange identifier EXCHID SDLC Communications Identification block and Identification number

The values specified for the FBSS controller must match the value specified in the EXCHID parameter of the CRTCTLFNC command. The EXCHID parameter must be specified as: xxxyyyyy, where xxx matches the FBSS Identification block and yyyyy matches the FBSS Identification number.
Link type LINKTYPE Communication Servers Data Link Control

Values specified for the FBSS and iSeries configurations must match:

  • If the FBSS response is SDLC, LINKTYPE(*SDLC) must be specified for the CRTCTLFNC command.
  • If the FBSS response is TRDLC, LINKTYPE(*LAN) must be specified for the CRTCTLFNC command.
  • If the FBSS response is X25DLC, LINKTYPE(*X25) must be specified for the CRTCTLFNC command.
Local location address LOCADR Session-Id and LU Assignments Host Logical Unit Numbers

FBSS logical unit number must match the LOCADR parameter value specified on the CRTDEVFNC command.

The FBSS logical unit assignments are decimal numbers; the iSeries values must be hexadecimal.
LU Assignments for Display Emulators

LU Assignments for 3287 Printer Emulator

 Host Logical Unit Numbers

FBSS logical unit number must match the LOCADR parameter value specified on the CRTDEVDSP or CRTDEVPRT command for 3270 devices attached to the FBSS controller.

The FBSS logical unit assignments are decimal numbers; the iSeries values must be hexadecimal.
NRZI data encoding NRZI SDLC Communications N.R.Z.I.

Values specified for the iSeries CRTLINSDLC command and the FBSS controller must match.
Source service access point SSAP Token Ring Communications Service access point for Host/37xx/4700

Values specified for the FBSS and for the SSAP parameter on the CRTCTLFNC command must match.
SSCP identifier SSCPID SSCP Names SSCP namexx

If used, the value specified for the FBSS controller must match the last 10 digits of the SSCPID parameter on the CRTCTLFNC command.
Station address STNADR SDLC Communications Station address

Values specified for the iSeries CRTCTLFNC command and the FBSS controller must match.
