Match iSeries system parameters for 4680/4690 LINE parameter

You must coordinate parameters between the iSeries™ server and the 4680 or 4690 retail controller. The following table lists those parameters. The 4680 controller requires configuration of the SDLC/SNA LINE parameter.

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

For more information about configuring the 4680, see the IBM® 4680 Store System: Programming Guide.

To configure the iSeries server to a 4680/4690 controller:

iSeries Prompt iSeries Parameter 4680 Line Parameter
Connection type CNN 4680 CONNECTION TYPE parameter value must be coordinated with the values specified for the iSeries CNN and SWTCNN parameters on the CRTLINSDLC command and with the SWITCHED and INLCNN parameters on the CRTCTLRTL command.
  • If CNN(*NONSWTPP) and SWITCHED(*NO) are specified for the iSeries system, specify CONNECTION TYPE = 1 for the 4680.
  • If CNN(*MP) and SWITCHED(*NO) are specified for the iSeries system, specify CONNECTION TYPE = 2 for the 4680.
  • If CNN(*SWTPP), SWITCHED(*YES), INLCNN(*DIAL), and either SWTCNN(*DIAL) or SWTCNN(*BOTH) are specified for the iSeries system, specify CONNECTION TYPE = 3 for the 4680.
  • If CNN(*SWTPP), SWITCHED(*YES), INLCNN(*DIAL), and either SWTCNN(*DIAL) or SWTCNN(*BOTH) are specified for the iSeries system, specify CONNECTION TYPE = 4 for the 4680. This configuration allows the 4680 to manually answer calls from the iSeries system or to manually call the iSeries system.
  • If CNN(*SWTPP), SWITCHED(*YES), INLCNN(*ANS), and either SWTCNN(*ANS) or SWTCNN(*BOTH) are specified for the iSeries system, specify CONNECTION TYPE = 4 for the 4680. This configuration requires the 4680 to manually call the iSeries system.
Initial connection INLCNN See description for the CNN (Connection type) parameter.
Modem data rate select MODEMRATE 4680 DATA RATE parameter must match the MODEMRATE parameter specified on the iSeries CRTLINSDLC command.
NRZI data encoding NRZI 4680 NRZI MODE parameter must match the NRZI parameter specified on the iSeries CRTLINSDLC command.
Station address STNADR 4680 STATION ADDRESS parameter must match the STNADR parameter specified on the iSeries CRTCTLRTL command.
Switched connection SWITCHED See description for the CNN (Connection type) parameter.
Switched connection SWTCNN See description for the CNN (Connection type) parameter.
