Create the controller description (Chicago to Minneapolis, switched)
Because this is an APPN environment (iSeries system to iSeries system), the controller
is an APPC controller, and the CRTCTLAPPC command defines the attributes of
the controller. The example command defines the following attributes:
- CTLD(MPLSS)
- The name assigned to the controller description is MPLSS.
- 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
that is defined by a create line description command.
- SWITCHED(*YES)
- This controller attaches to a switched SDLC line.
- SWTLINLST(MPLSS)
- The name of the line description (for switched lines) to which this
controller can be attached is MPLSS. In the example, there is only one line
(MPLSS). 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(MPLS)
- The remote control-point name is MPLS. 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 LCLCPNAME parameter on the CHGNETA (Change Network
Attributes) command specifies the name at the remote system.
- INLCNN(*DIAL)
- The iSeries system makes the initial connection by either answering an
incoming call or placing a call.
- CNNNBR(6125551111)
- The connection (telephone) number for the remote controller is 6125551111.
- STNADR(01)
- The address assigned to the remote controller is hex 01.
- TMSGRPNBR(3)
- APPN support use the value (3) for transmission group negotiation with
the remote system.
The remote system must specify the same value for the
transmission group.
- NODETYPE(*NETNODE)
- The remote system (MPLS) is an APPN network node.
