For each node you configure on the HP 3000, a corresponding T2.0 or T2.1 node should be in the remote system configuration. Figure 4-1 shows how a session is established between the SSCP on the remote system and the PU on the HP 3000 node (either a T2.0 node or a T2.1 node). The remote system sends out a poll on the data link, in the form of a Set Normal Response Mode (SNRM) , and continues to poll the link until it receives a positive response from the HP 3000. The HP 3000 node is activated with the SNACONTROL START command (see chapter 6 of this manual). The SSCP then sends an ACTivate PU (ACTPU) request to the HP 3000 PU. SNA Transport, as the PU services manager, sends a positive response back to the SSCP. The PU-SSCP session is now established.
