<h1 class="topictitle1">SNA exchange identifiers (XIDs)</h1>
<div><p>To establish a connection, your server and the remote device both
send an XID.</p>
<p>The exchange identifier is defined in the controller description for your
server. SNA hosts that use parallel connections require the XIDs. Your server
conducts an initial poll with NULL XIDs during the connection process, to
determine whether the remote device is active. If the device
responds to the poll, your server and the remote device exchange XIDs and
establish the connection.</p>
<p>The controller description for an SNA host names the XID value as the local
exchange identifier. The APPC controller description names the XID value as
the exchange identifier. Other controller types, such as CTRL, FNC, and RWS,
also use the exchange identifier.</p>
