IBM AS/400 manual Name

Matching AS/400 controller description parameters for a host system

You must match host system communications configuration parameters with AS/400 values. A description of the AS/400 values are in the following table. For information about configuring host systems, see the manuals VTAM Installation and Resource Definition, SC23-0111, and Network Control Program Resource Definition Reference, SC30-3254.

You can specify some host system parameters on multiple definition statements, such as the GROUP, LINE, PU, and LU. The following table lists only the lowest level definition statement that is used by the host system.

To configure an AS/400 to a host system:

vSee “Examples: Connecting AS/400 to a host system” on page 26 for an example of connecting an AS/400 to a host system.

vUse the following table for the controller description parameter.

	AS/400	Host Definition
AS/400 Prompt	Parameter	Statement	Host Parameter
Adjacent link station	ADJLNKSTN	PU	name
			AS/400 adjacent link station name must match the
			name assigned to the PU macro instruction in the host
			system switched major node definition. This match is
			required if AS/400 host controller description specifies
			RMTCPNAME(*ANY), SWITCHED(*YES) or
			SNBU(*YES), and LINKTYPE is *SDLC or *IDLC.
			This parameter should be specified only if the host
			system is running VTAM Version 4 Release 1 or later
			and NCP Version 6 Release 2 or later.
LAN remote adapter	ADPTADR	LINE	LOCADD
address			Values specified for each system must match. If
			LOCADD is specified, ECLTYPE=PHYSICAL must also
			be specified on the GROUP definition statement.
		PORT	MACADDR
			For 9370/LAN only, the AS/400 controller description
			ADPTADR must match the host MACADDR parameter.
			MACADDR can be coded as an 8- or 12-digit
			hexadecimal number; the 8-digit variation assumes 4000
			in the first four positions (4000xxxxxxxx).
Destination service	DSAP	PORT	SAPADDR
access point			For 9370/LAN only, the AS/400 controller description
			DSAP must match the host SAPADDR parameter.
			The SAPADDR parameter is a decimal value (4-252);
			the AS/400 value is specified as a 2-digit hexadecimal
			number.
Local exchange	LCLEXCHID	PU	IDBLK, IDNUM
identifier			For parallel connections only. Required if the AS/400
			system specifies RMTCPNAME(*ANY),
			SWITCHED(*YES), and LINKTYPE is *SDLC or *IDLC.
			The LCLEXCHID specified must match the values
			specified in the switched major node definition PU
			macro instruction.
