Example: Connect a server to a 3174 Model 1L gateway

In this example a 3174 Control Unit functions as a gateway to connect two systems that support different network architectures. You can also find an example to connect the gateway to your system at the end of this example.

Because all the examples use the same token-ring line description, this example discusses only the controller and device descriptions. This example does not show the source service access point (SSAP) and destination service access point (DSAP) parameters because they use the default values.

Controller description:

CRTCTLHOST CTLD(TRLANHOST2) LINKTYPE(*LAN) SWTLINLST(TOKENRING1)
           RMTCPNAME(*ANY) ADPTADR(400031740001)
           TEXT('Controller description describing the 3174 Gateway')

Device description:

Although this device description example is not specific to token-ring networks, you can use it to configure an emulation display:

CRTDEVHOST DEVD(TRLANEML2) LOCADR(01) RMTLOCNAME(HOST2)
           CTL(TRLANHOST2) APPTYPE(*EML)
           TEXT('3270 emulation for Host2')

• Example: Create the NCP GEN for a 3174 gateway
  The system administrator creates the network control program generation (NCP GEN) to connect your server to the 3174.
