Create the controller description (Minneapolis to Los Angeles, switched)
Because this is an APPN environment (iSeries system to iSeries system), the controller
is an APPC controller and the CRTCTLAPPC command is used to define the attributes
of the controller. The following attributes are defined by the example command:
- CTLD(LOSANGEL)
- The name assigned to the controller description is LOSANGEL.
- LINKTYPE(*SDLC)
- Because this controller is attached through an SDLC communications line,
the value specified is *SDLC. This value must correspond to the type of line
being used as defined by a create line description command.
- SWITCHED(*YES)
- Specifies that this controller is attached to a switched SDLC line.
- SWTLINLST(LOSANGEL)
- Specifies the name (LOSANGEL) of the line descriptions (for switched
lines) that this controller can be attached to. In the example, there is only
one line (LOSANGEL). This value must match a name that is specified by the
LIND parameter in a line description.
- RMTNETID(APPN)
- The name of the network in which the remote control point resides is
APPN.
- RMTCPNAME(LOSANGEL)
- Specifies that the remote control-point name is LOSANGEL. The name specified
here must match the name that is specified at the remote system for the local
control-point name. In the example, the name is specified at the remote system
(LOSANGEL) by the LCLCPNAME parameter of the Change Network Attributes (CHGNETA)
command.
- INLCNN(*DIAL)
- Specifies that the initial connection is made by the iSeries system either
answering an incoming call or placing a call.
- CNNNBR(2135553333)
- The connection (telephone) number for the remote controller is 2135553333.
- STNADR(01)
- The address assigned to the remote controller is hex 01.
- CPSSN(*NO)
- Control point sessions are not supported with this node.
