This section describes the AS/400 configuration parameters that must
be specified in order for an HP 3000 to communicate in an APPN
network. The HP 3000 uses LU 6.2 API/iX to act as a LEN node . The
AS/400, configured as a Network Node, routes APPC sessions from the
HP 3000 to other nodes in the APPN network.
Display Network Attributes |
 |
This portion of the AS/400 configuration describes the attributes of
the APPN network.
- Local network ID
Must appear in the HP 3000 configuration as the first part of the Fully Qualified Remote LU
Name in the APPC: Independent LU Session Type Data
screen. If the AS/400 is in the same network as the HP 3000, the Local network
ID must match the value of the HP 3000 Local Network
ID field of the APPC: Network ID Data screen.
- APPN node type
Must be *NETNODE.
Display Mode Description |
|
This portion of the AS/400 configuration describes the mode of
communication between LUs in the network.
- LCLCTLSSN
(Locally controlled sessions) Must be 0.
- INPACING
(Inbound pacing value) Must match the Maximum Pacing
Window (Send) configured on the HP 3000 in the APPC: Mode
Type Data screen.
- OUTPACING
(Outbound pacing value) Must match the Maximum Pacing
Window (Receive) configured on the HP 3000 in the APPC:
Mode Type Data screen.
- MAXLENRU
(Max length of request unit) Must match the value of the HP 3000 Maximum RU Size (Send and
Receive) in the APPC: Mode Type Data screen.
APPN Configuration List |
|
This portion of the AS/400 configuration lists the local and remote
locations in the APPN network that cannot be dynamically configured.
Display Line Description |
|
This portion of the AS/400 configuration describes the connection
between the AS/400 and the HP 3000.
- ROLE
(Data link role) Must be *PRI (data link
role for the AS/400).
- MAXFRAME
(Maximum frame size) Must match the MAX DATA
value configured on the HP 3000 SNA Node
Configuration: PU Data screen.
- LINESPEED
(Line speed) Must match the Transmission
Speed value configured on the HP 3000 SNA Node
Configuration: SDLC Link Data screen.
Display Controller Description |
|
This portion of the AS/400 configuration describes the HP 3000 as a
LEN node in the APPN network.
- RMTNETID
(Remote network identifier) If the AS/400 and the HP 3000 have
different network IDs, this value must match the Network
ID configured in the HP 3000 APPC: Network ID
Data screen. If the AS/400 and the HP 3000 reside in the same network,
this value can be specified as *NETATTR, which
points to the Local network ID in the Network Attribute Table.
- EXCHID
(Exchange identifier) Must match the ID BLK
and ID
NUM values configured on the HP 3000 SNA Node
Configuration: PU Data screen for dial-up lines.
- STNADR
(Station address) Must match the Station ID
value configured on the HP 3000 SNA Node Configuration:
SDLC Link Data screen.
- ROLE
(Data link role) Must be *SEC (data link
role of HP 3000)
- NODETYPE
(APPN node type) Must be *LENNODE.
Display Device Description |
|
This portion of the AS/400 configuration describes the devices used
for program-to-program communications.
- RMTLOCNAME
(Remote location name) Must match the HP 3000 Local
LU Name configured in the APPC: Independent LU Session
Type Data screen.
- LCLLOCNAME
(Local location name) Must match the last part of the HP 3000 Fully Qualified Remote LU
Name configured in the APPC: Independent LU Session Type
Data screen.
- MODE
Must match the HP 3000 Mode Name configured
for the LU in the APPC: Independent LU Session Type Data screen.
- SNGSSN
(Single session) Must complement the HP 3000 Parallel
Sessions value configured for the LU in the APPC:
Independent LU Session Type Data screen.
- LCLCTLSSN
(Locally controlled session) For the single-session device, the
value must be *NO.
