Defining Ports, DLCs, and Connection Networks

This field applies only if the adapter card can support more than one port.

This field is not used for SDLC or QLLC ports.

Initially active

Whether to activate the port automatically when the node is started. This setting enables link stations that use the port to be activated in response to requests from adjacent nodes or on demand by the local node. (Activating the port does not activate any link stations; link stations are activated separately.)

Additional Port Parameters for SDLC

Line details

The following parameters describe the type of SDLC connection:

Type

Select one of the following values:

Leased Line

A dedicated line is used for the SDLC link between this computer and the remote system.

Switched incoming

The standard telephone network is used for incoming calls.

For a nonprimary port (as indicated by the Link role field), you also need to configure the poll address (for outgoing calls, that address is configured on the link station). The poll address is a one-byte address (C1 by default) that needs to match the poll address configured at the remote link station. When active, the port responds to frames sent with this poll address. For a primary port, you do not need to configure a poll address; the port uses the poll address specified by the remote link station on the incoming call. For other types of ports, the poll address is configured on each link station.

Switched outgoing

The standard telephone network is used for outgoing calls.
