.You must match host system communications configuration parameters with iSeries™ system values. A description of the iSeries system values are in the following table. For information about configuring host systems, see the manuals VTAM® Installation and Resource Definition, SC23-0111, and Network Control Program Resource Definition Reference, SC30-3254.
You can specify some host system parameters on multiple definition statements, such as the GROUP, LINE, PU, and LU. The following table lists only the lowest level definition statement that is used by the host system.
To configure an iSeries system to a host system:
| iSeries Prompt | iSeries Parameter | Host Definition Statement | Host Parameter |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adjacent link station | ADJLNKSTN | PU | name
iSeries adjacent link station name must match the name assigned to the PU macro instruction in the host system switched major node definition. This match is required if iSeries host controller description specifies RMTCPNAME(*ANY), SWITCHED(*YES) or SNBU(*YES), and LINKTYPE is *SDLC. This parameter should be specified only if the host system is running VTAM Version 4 Release 1 or later and NCP Version 6 Release 2 or later. |
| LAN remote adapter address | ADPTADR | LINE | LOCADD
Values specified for each system must match. If LOCADD is specified, ECLTYPE=PHYSICAL must also be specified on the GROUP definition statement. |
| PORT | MACADDR
For 9370/LAN only, the iSeries controller description ADPTADR must match the host MACADDR parameter. MACADDR can be coded as an 8- or 12-digit hexadecimal number; the 8-digit variation assumes 4000 in the first four positions (4000xxxxxxxx). |
||
| Destination service access point | DSAP | PORT | SAPADDR
For 9370/LAN only, the iSeries controller description DSAP must match the host SAPADDR parameter. The SAPADDR parameter is a decimal value (4-252); the iSeries value is specified as a 2-digit hexadecimal number. |
| Local exchange identifier | LCLEXCHID | PU | IDBLK, IDNUM
For parallel connections only. Required if the iSeries system specifies RMTCPNAME(*ANY), SWITCHED(*YES), and LINKTYPE is *SDLC. The LCLEXCHID specified must match the values specified in the switched major node definition PU macro instruction. |
| Maximum frame size | MAXFRAME | GROUP | MAXDATA
Values specified for each system must match. |
| Remote control point name | RMTCPNAME | VTAMLST | SSCPNAME
Required only if APPN(*YES). iSeries controller description value must match SSCPNAME specified in the Virtual Telecommunications Access Method (VTAM) start options list (ATCSTRyy). |
| Remote network identifier | RMTNETID | VTAMLST | NETID
Required only if APPN(*YES). iSeries controller description value must match NETID specified in the VTAM start options list (ATCSTRyy). |
| Source service access point | SSAP | PU | SAPADDR
For 9370/LAN only, the iSeries controller description DSAP must match the host SAPADDR parameter. The SAPADDR parameter is a decimal value (4-252); the iSeries value is specified as a 2-digit hexadecimal number. |
| SSCP identifier | SSCPID | VTAMLST | SSCPID
Required if APPN(*YES) or if RMTCPNAME is not specified. iSeries controller description value must match SSCPID specified in the VTAM start options list (ATCSTRyy). The SSCPID parameter is a decimal value (0-65535); the iSeries value is specified as a 12-digit hexadecimal number, of which the first 2 digits are 05. |
| Station address | STNADR | PU | ADDR
iSeries system station address must be unique within host PU definitions. Controller description STNADR must match the value specified in the line description. |
