IBM 6500 manual Configuring iSeries For Ascii Using TCP/IP, Configuring With Addtcpifc, Ssap

Configuring With ADDTCPIFC

The following three parameters must be specified:

Line Description (LIND)

The line description name is the user's name for the iSeries adapter. This name must be identical to the name entered when the TCP/IP is configured on the iSeries.

Resource Name (RSRCNAME)

The system-assigned name for the interface (for example, LIN041).

SSAP

When *CALC is used, the values of “12” and “AA” are entered automatically as defaults. Verify that those SSAP values have not been changed.

Configuring iSeries For ASCII Using TCP/IP

The next step is to configure the interface on the iSeries for

TCP/IP.

NOTE: The iSeries interface is not the Ethernet Interface. Do not set the iSeries interface address to the same address as the Ethernet Interface IP address. Also, do not add the Ethernet Interface to the iSeries TCP/IP interface list.

Configuring With ADDTCPIFC

ADDTCPIFC is used to add a TCP/IP interface to the iSeries. This step configures the iSeries for attachments to a TCP/IP network.

At the iSeries command line, enter the following command:

ADDTCPIFC INTNETADR ('9.99.15.188') LIND(ETHLAN)

SUBNETMASK('255.255.255.0')

Your completed screen should look like Figure 27.
