RJE Configuration: Linkdata
After you have selected a link name, NMMGR displays the RJE
Configuration: Linkdata screen. (You can go directly to this screen
from any screen by typing @RJE.linkname in the command window and
pressing the [ENTER] key.) Here you enter information specific to the
BSC protocol.

Fields
Path For display only. The NMMGR branch you are in.
Physical Path Required. The address of the PSI. At system start-up
time, this address is assigned according to the slot the
PSI is in. The value you enter here is determined by
one of these formulas.
* If only one card cage is present:
4 X SlotNumber
where X is the multiplication sign (not the character
"X"), and SlotNumber is the number of the slot the PSI
is in.
Example:
If the PSI is in slot 6, the Physical Pathis 24 (4
multiplied by 6).
* If two card cages are present:
PathNumber/(4 X SlotNumber)
where (a) PathNumber is a number corresponding to the
card cage the PSI is in:
Card cage 0: PathNumber = 2
Card cage 1: PathNumber = 6
(b) / is the slash character (not the division sign),
(c) the parentheses are used to set off an arithmetic
formula (they are not entered as part of the Physical
Path value), (d) X is the multiplication sign (not the
character "X"), and (e) SlotNumber is the number of the
slot, within the card cage, the PSI is in.
Examples:
If the PSI is in card cage 0, slot number 4, the
Physical Path is 2/16
(PathNumber, slash character, 4 multiplied by 4).
If the PSI is in card cage 1, slot number 3, the
Physical Path is 6/12
(PathNumber, slash character, 4 multiplied by 3).
Local ID Optional. ID sequence functions as a security check.
Sequence To establish a connection, the HP 3000 sends its local
ID sequence to the remote system. If the remote system
is another HP 3000, it must have the local ID sequences
of this HP 3000 configured in the RJE Configuration:
RemoteID screen or it must have no ID sequences
configured in the RJE Configuration: RemoteID screen.
If the remote system is something other than an HP 3000,
make sure the system is configured properly to accept
your ID sequence.
Within the context of RJE/XL, an ID sequence is a string
of 15 ASCII characters that identifies a particular
computer.
Default: None
Receive Timeout Required. The number of seconds RJE/XL will wait for
communication before terminating the read mode. The
timeout is set when an acknowledgement is sent to the
remote system. Return communication is expected from
the remote system in the form of text, or an EOT or TTD
character. If 0 is specified, no timeout occurs.
If a timeout occurs, the batch job terminates and RJE/XL
displays a CS ERROR 209 message on the system console.
In session mode when the timeout occurs, an error
message is issued.
The WAIT parameter of the RJOUT, RJLIST, and RJPUNCH
commands will override the Receive Timeout setting.
Range: 0, 20-1800 (integer)
Default: 20
Local Timeout Required. The link driver waits a specific amount of
time for PSI card activity before informing RJE/XL that
the PSI is down and the link driver is going down.
Additionally, the PSI card waits a specific amount of
time for the link driver activity before bringing down
the link and reporting a failure. This avoids
unnecessary use of dial-up lines, avoiding excessive
phone charges. (Note that since no driver activity is
taking place, the driver probably will not receive the
failure notice.)
In leased line operation, the local timeout is disabled.
If 0 is specified, no timeout occurs.
Range: 0,30-900 (integer)
Default: 30
Connect Timeout Required. The number of seconds the link level software
will wait for the DSR signal to be enabled after
enabling the DTR signal, before closing the link. This
includes time waiting for either the autodialer or the
operator to dial the remote phone number. If 0 is
specified, no timeout occurs.
Range: 0, 30-900 (integer)
Default: 900
Response Required. The number of seconds the link level software
Timeout will wait for a textblock acknowledgement before
transmitting an ENQ to request the last acknowledgement.
This value should account for both textblock
transmission and textblock processing time.
Range: 2-255 (integer)
Default: 3
Number of Error Required. The total number of times a textblock or
Retries control sequence will be retransmitted due to lack of an
acknowledgement or a recoverable error. If this number
is exceeded, it is assumed that the remote station is
not responding.
Range: 1-255 (integer)
Default: 7
Transmission Required. The line transmission speed (bits per
Speed second). This value is overridden by the modem, if one
is used. Even if you are using a modem, the correct
speed must be configured. For leased line, the speed
must be supported by the cable.
Values: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 56000,
and 64000 (integer)
Default: 1200.
Line Type Required. This value is used to determine if the
communications line is dial or leased. A 0 indicates a
dial line and a 1 indicates a leased line.
Range: 0,1
Default: 0
Transmission Required. The line transmission mode. A 0 indicates
Mode half duplex (switched carrier) and a 1 indicates full
duplex (constant carrier). The value must agree with
the host system's configuration and with the
characteristics of the communication line.
Range: 0,1
Default: 0
NOTE In RJE/V a 1 indicates half duplex and a 0 indicates full duplex.
Note that it is the reverse for RJE/XL.
File For display only. The name of the configuration file.
Once you have entered the link data, press [f6], the
Update Data key. Press [f1], the Go To Phone key, to
get to the next screen, RJE Configuration: Phonedat.
