Matching AS/400 line description parameters for a remote AS/400 system
You must coordinate communications configuration parameters between local and remote AS/400 systems. These parameters are described in the following table. This table shows those prompts and parameters that must be coordinated when you specify line descriptions for the local and remote AS/400 systems.
To configure a local AS/400 to a remote AS/400:
vSee “Connecting one AS/400 to another AS/400 system” on page 37 for an example of connecting one AS/400 to another AS/400 system.
vUse the following table for the line descriptions.
