IBM manual Matching AS/400 parameters for Fbss finance controllers, AS/400 AS/400 Prompt

	AS/400
AS/400 Prompt	Parameter	4700 Macro	4700 Parameter
Maximum	MAXFRAME	COMLINK	CNL
frame size			Value specified for the 4700 CNL parameter must be
			coordinated with the value specified for the AS/400 MAXFRAME
			parameter on the CRTCTLFNC command. Because the
			MAXFRAME parameter includes transmission and request
			header lengths, MAXFRAME should be 9 bytes longer than the
			4700 MWL parameter.
			MWL
			Value specified for the 4700 MWL parameter must be
			coordinated with the value specified for the AS/400 MAXFRAME
			parameter on the CRTCTLFNC command. Because the
			MAXFRAME parameter includes transmission and request
			header lengths, MAXFRAME should be 9 bytes longer than the
			4700 MWL parameter.
			If the AS/400 maximum length of request unit (MAXLENRU
			parameter) specified for device descriptions attached to the 4700
			controller is larger than the MAXFRAME parameter specified for
			the controller description, the 4700 should also specify
			OPTIONS=(SEGMENT).
NRZI data	NRZI	COMLINK	ACB
encoding			For SDLC finance communications, if the line does not use NRZI
			data encoding (NRZI(*NO) on the CRTLINSDLC command),
			include the DCE value on the ACB parameter (ACB = DCE).
Station address	STNADR	X25CKT	CUA
			The values specified for the AS/400 STNADR parameter on the
			CRTCTLFNC command must match the physical address (CUA)
			parameter specified for the 4700.

Matching AS/400 parameters for FBSS finance controllers

You must coordinate several parameter values that are specified for the AS/400 system and IBM Financial Branch System Services (FBSS) finance controllers in the controller configuration. The following table shows those AS/400 configuration parameters that must match values on the SDLC, Token-Ring, or X.25DLC configuration displays for FBSS controllers.

AS/400 prompts are listed in alphabetical order by parameter name; the AS/400 commands on which the parameters are specified are included in the rightmost column of the table.

For more information about configuring FBSS controllers, see the IBM Financial Branch System Services Installation Planning and Administration Guide, SC19-5173.

For more information about configuring the 4700 controllers, see Volume 6 of the 4700 Finance Communication System Controller Programming Library, GC31-2068.

To configure the AS/400 to a FBSS finance controller:

vSee “Example: Connecting AS/400 to a finance network” on page 67 for an example of connecting an AS/400 to a 4701 finance controller.

vUse the following table to connect an AS/400 to a 4701 finance controller.
