Example: Two iSeries systems as end nodes using APPN

In Figure 4, systems A and B are both configured as end nodes in the network attributes. The only APPN-specific parameter that must be configured is the remote control-point name in the controller description. A device description is not a requirement for an APPN configuration.

Figure 4. Two-system APPN network

Each list below represents a city within the network in Figure 4 above. See the links in each list to determine the configuration requirements for each system.

New York

• Example: Configure system A (New York) as an end node
• Change the network attributes (New York) in two-system network
• Create the line description (New York) in two-system network
• Create the controller description (New York) in two-system network

Los Angeles

• Configure system B (Los Angeles) as end node
• Change the network attributes (Los Angeles) in two-system network
• Create the line description (Los Angeles) in two-system network
• Create the controller description (Los Angeles) in two-system network
