Data Required from the AS/400 Configuration

Data in an SNA node configuration file must correspond to information from the remote AS/400 type 2.1 parameters. So, before using NMMGR, you should have certain information from the AS/400 configuration.

The AS/400 information that corresponds to SNA node configuration information for SNA/SDLC links, SNA/X.25 links, and SNA/Token Ring links is described below.

SNA/SDLC Information

For the AS/400 and the HP 3000 to communicate, you must coordinate the SNA/SDLC node configuration with the AS/400 configuration. The HP SNA Products Remote System Configuration Guide (J2220-61025) explains this configuration.

Table 2-8 “AS/400 Parameter Values for SDLC Link” shows the relationships between parameters from the AS/400 configuration and items in the SNA node configuration file for an SNA/SDLC link. Each NMMGR screen field is described later in this chapter.

Table 2-8 AS/400 Parameter Values for SDLC Link

AS/400 Configuration Parameter	Field in NMMGR Screen	NMMGR Screen Name
`MAXFRAME` in the line description	`MAX DATA`	PU Data
`LINESPEED` in the line description	`Transmission Speed`	SDLC Link Data
`EXCHID` in the controller description	`ID BLK` combined with `ID NUM`	PU Data
`STNADR` in the controller description	`Station ID`	SDLC Link Data
`RMTLOCNAME` in the device description	`LU Name`	LU Data

SNA/X.25 Information

For the AS/400 and the HP 3000 to communicate, you must coordinate the SNA/X.25 node configuration with the AS/400 configuration. The HP SNA Products Remote System Configuration Guide [J2220-61025) explains this configuration.

Table 2-9 “AS/400 Parameter Values for X.25 Link” shows the relationships between parameters from the AS/400 configuration and items in the SNA node configuration file for switched virtual circuits (SVCs) of an SNA/X.25 link. Each NMMGR screen field is described later in this chapter.

Table 2-9 AS/400 Parameter Values for X.25 Link

AS/400 Configuration Parameter	Field in NMMGR Screen	NMMGR Screen Name
`NETADDR` in the line description	`Remote's X.25 Network Address`	X.25 Link Data

SNA/Token Ring Information

For the AS/400 and the HP 3000 to communicate, you must coordinate the SNA/Token Ring node configuration with the AS/400 configuration. The HP SNA Products Remote System Configuration Guide (J2220-61025) explains this configuration.

Table 2-10 “AS/400 Parameter Values for Token Ring Link” shows the relationships between parameters from the AS/400 configuration and items in the SNA node configuration file for an SNA/Token Ring link. Each NMMGR screen field is described later in this chapter.

Table 2-10 AS/400 Parameter Values for Token Ring Link

AS/400 Configuration Parameter	Field in NMMGR Screen	NMMGR Screen Name
`MAXFRAME` in the line description	`MAX DATA`	PU Data
`EXCHID` in the controller description	`ID BLK` combined with `ID NUM`	PU Data
`ADPTADR` in the line description for the AS/400 system	`Remote Station Address`	Token Ring Link Data
`SSAP` in the controller description for the AS/400 system	`Remote DSAP`	Token Ring Link Data
`DSAP` in the controller description for the HP 3000	`Local SSAP`	Token Ring Link Data
`ADPTADR` in the controller description for the HP 3000	`Local Station Address`	Token Ring Link Data
`RMTCPNAME` in the APPC display controller description (APPC only)*	`Local Control Point Name`	PU Data

* If APPC is not being configured, HP recommends that you use the PU name in the Local Control Point Name field.
