IBM manual Communicating with a remote AS/400 system

Chapter 6. Communicating with a remote AS/400 system

Using advanced program-to-program communications (APPC), you can configure the AS/400 system to communicate with another AS/400 system. This configuration requires the coordination of configuration parameters and values. Only those configuration prompts and parameters that require coordination on both the AS/400, and the remote AS/400 system are listed. In addition, some of the parameters that are listed may not apply to your particular configuration. See the following topics for more information:

v“Matching AS/400 line description parameters for a remote AS/400 system”

v“Matching AS/400 controller description parameters for a remote AS/400 system” on page 35

v“Matching AS/400 device description parameters for a remote AS/400 system” on page 36

For an example of connecting one AS/400 to another AS/400 system, see “Connecting one AS/400 to another AS/400 system” on page 37.

For more information on AS/400 parameters, see the Communications Configuration book.

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.

	AS/400	Remote AS/400
AS/400 Prompt	Parameter	Parameter	Notes
Local adapter address	ADPTADR	ADPTADR	Adapter address of the local system (specified on the
			line description) must be matched at the remote system
			in the controller description ADPTADR parameter.
			If the AS/400 system uses an Ethernet line through an
			8209 LAN Bridge, see ″Appendix C: Local Area Network
			Addressing Considerations″ in the Communications
			Configurationbook.
Insert network	ADRINSERT	ADRINSERT	If X.25 DCE support is specified (X25DCE(*YES) or
address in packets			X25DCE(*NEG)), ADRINSERT(*YES) should be
			specified for both systems.
Data bits per	BITSCHAR	BITSCHAR	Values specified for each system must match.
