Defining Connectivity Components
Defining Link Stations
CP name of the remote node, but for remote nodes that do not send their CP name when activating a link, the remote node ID must be used instead.
If you do not specify the remote node ID, the node ID of the remote node is not checked when the link is activated.
Remote node roleThe role of the remote (adjacent) node:
Host
The link station supports dependent LUs (such as 3270 LUs) that are used for sessions with a host computer (the most common case). If the link is to a node that provides host connectivity using PU concentration or DLUR, the adjacent node role should still be set to Host, even though the link is not directly to a host computer.
Downstream (PU concentration)
The link station is to a downstream node that will communicate with a host using the PU concentration capabilities of the local node (to the host, the LUs on the downstream node appear to reside on the local node).
Additional Configuration
After performing the link station configuration, continue with the following configuration tasks:
•To define a DLUR PU, see “Defining DLUR PUs”.
•To configure passthrough services, see Chapter 9, “Configuring Passthrough Services.”
•To support specific user applications, see Chapter 8, “Configuring User Applications.”
•To support APPC communication, see Chapter 7, “Configuring APPC Communication.”
