<div><p>The device description describes the communications device used
by the remote device.</p>
<div class="section"> <p>There are no LAN-specific parameters in the device
description.</p>
<p>To create the Systems Network Architecture (SNA) device
description, follow these steps:</p>
</div>
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>To create the device description, find the create
command to use in <a href="../rzahj/rzahjdevpi.htm">Create
APPC device descriptions</a> (this information also has other commands
for Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN) devices, Single Network Point
(SNPT) devices, and so forth). Then return here to configure the description.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Type the name of the command to use and press F4 (Prompt).</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Type the name of device description into the Device description
field.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Complete these fields as described:</span> <ul><li><em>Remote location</em> is the name from the Local location field of the
device description that is on the remote device. If the Local location field
contains *NETATR, use the Display Network Attributes (DSPNETA) command at
the remote device. Use this command to view the name that is specified by
the Default local location field.</li>
<li><em>Remote network identifier</em> is the network identifier
of the remote IBM<sup>®</sup> <span><img src="eserver.gif" alt="eServer" /></span> <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> system.
To find this value, use the Display Network Attributes (DSPNETA) command at
the remote system to locate the Local network ID field. Advanced Program-Program
Communication (APPC) device descriptions use the Remote network identifier
field.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>For detailed information
about all the parameters and their dependencies, see the Communications
Configuration manual on the <a href="http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r1/ic2924/rzaqhindex.htm" target="_blank"> V5R1 Supplemental Manuals Web site</a><img src="www.gif" alt="Link to PDF" />.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Press Enter twice to create the description.</span></li>
