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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local location name | LCLLOCNAME | DFHTCT | NETNAME
iSeries LCLLOCNAME value must match CICS/VS terminal control table NETNAME parameter and the label used on the LU definition statement. |
| Local location address | LOCADR | LU | LOCADDR
Values specified for each system must match. The LOCADDR parameter is a decimal value (0-255); the iSeries value is specified as a 2-digit hexadecimal number. |
| Location password | LOCPWD | DFHTCT | BINDPWD
Values specified for each system must match. |
| Dependent location name | DEPLOCNAME | LU | LU
This parameter is only used for DLUR support. This value is optional. If specified, it must match LUNAME received on ACTLUREQUEST. |
| Mode description name | MODE | MODEENT | LOGMODE
iSeries mode description name must be defined in the host logon mode table using the LOGMODE parameter on the MODEENT macro instruction. The mode name must also be included in the CICS/VS terminal control table (DFHTCT) MODENAM parameter. |
| Remote location name | RMTLOCNAME | LU | LOGAPPL
Values specified for each system must match. |
| Remote network identifier | RMTNETID | BUILD | NETID
Values specified for each system must match. |
