Leased line

Select this connection type if you have a dedicated line between the local iSeries™ server and the remote system. If you have a leased line, you do not need a modem or an ISDN terminal adapter to connect the two systems.

A leased line connection between two systems is considered a permanent or dedicated line. It is always open. One end of the leased line connection is configured as the initiator, and the other end is configured as the terminator.

The leased line connection type has the following operating modes:

Terminator

Choose this operating mode to enable a remote system to access the iSeries server through a dedicated line. This operating mode refers to a leased line answer profile.

Initiator

Choose this operating mode to enable the iSeries server to access a remote system through a dedicated line. This operating mode refers to a leased line dial profile.
