Example: Create a host logical-configuration

The network control program generation (NCP GEN) produces the logical configuration to connect the 3745 Communication Controller to your server.

This example configuration is valid only on Network Control Program (NCP) Version 4.2 and Virtual Telecommunications Access Method (VTAM^®) Version 3.1.1. Different NCP or VTAM levels might require different parameters.

In this example, focus on these points:

Identifier block (IDBLK) and identifier number (IDNUM)
Dial number (DIALNO)

The concatenation of the IDBLK and IDNUM values must match the Local exchange identifier (LCLEXCHID) value of your controller description. In this example, because the controller description specifies *LIND in field LCLEXCHID, the value comes from the Exchange identifier (EXCHID) field of the line description.

The DIALNO parameter specifies the source service access point (SSAP) and the adapter address of your server. This is the format of DIALNO:

aabb4000cccccccc

This is the explanation of the format:

aa is the value of the PORTADD parameter that is specified in the physical configuration.
bb is the SSAP value from your controller description.
4000cccccccc is the address of your adapter that is specified in the line description. In this example, the address is 400003190001 (see the ADPTADR parameter of line description TOKENRING1).

This logical configuration example shows the IDBLK, IDNUM, and DIALNO parameters in bold:
