An SNA IMF LU-LU session initiated by an LU in the HP 3000 node is started by sending a character-coded logon message to the IBM host. The issued logon causes an INITiate-SELF (INIT-SELF) request to be sent to the SSCP.

In processing the INIT-SELF request, the SSCP determines whether the host LU is accepting session-initiation requests. The SSCP then sends a Control INITiate (CINIT) request to the host LU. The host LU then sends a BIND request to the HP 3000 LU. The BIND protocols specified in the request must be accepted by the HP 3000. If the protocols are acceptable, the HP 3000 LU sends a positive response and the LU-LU session is established. The host LU notifies the SSCP that the session has been established, by sending a SESSion STarted (SESSST) request. The host LU sends a Start Data Traffic (SDT) request to the HP 3000 LU, to allow data requests to be transmitted.

Figure 4-1 “LU-LU Session Initiated by HP 3000 LU” shows an SNA IMF LU-LU session initiated by the HP 3000 LU.
