<h1 class="topictitle1">SNA connections to LAN protocols</h1>
<div><p>You or the system can connect Systems Network Architecture (SNA)
to a LAN protocol by using one or more service access points (SAPs).</p>
<p>Multiple SAPs allow you to have multiple connections between
SNA and a LAN protocol, thus permitting multiple communication paths between
independent applications.</p>
<p>You or the system specifies the SAPs to use in the line and controller
descriptions. For SNA, the system can automatically create one SAP value (the
default value). There might be cases where you want to change this value or
have additional SAPs:</p>
<ul><li>The remote system does not use the default source service access point
(SSAP).</li>
<li>You want parallel station-to-station connections between adapters. This
might be what you want if you link two applications that require different
controller descriptions.</li>
<li>You want station-to-station connections to the same adapters. You might
want to do this to configure multiple SAPs to test an application on a single
system.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you plan to change the SAP defaults, see <a href="rzajuyoursaps.htm#your_saps">your
SAPs</a> for guidelines and other information.</p>
<p><strong id="higher_layers_over_lan_protocols__ssaps_and_dsaps"><a name="higher_layers_over_lan_protocols__ssaps_and_dsaps"><!-- --></a>SSAP and DSAP:</strong></p>
<p>Local SAPs are known as source service access points (SSAPs). The remote
SAPs are known as destination service access points (DSAPs). Your system sends
data from a SSAP to a DSAP.</p>
