IBM Examples Connecting AS/400 to a 4690 retail controller, RIPSS Configuration, AS/400 Prompt

	AS/400	RIPSS Configuration
AS/400 Prompt	Parameter	Display	RIPSS Prompt
Exchange identifier	EXCHID	SDLC Server Data	Block number (hex) and XID (hex)
			For SDLC connections, the values specified for the
			RIPSS configuration must match the value
			specified in the EXCHID parameter of the
			CRTCTLRTL command. The EXCHID parameter
			must be specified as: xxxyyyyy, where xxx
			matches the RIPSS Block number and yyyyy
			matches the RIPSS XID.
			For switched connections, the block number must
			be 005.
Local location	LOCADR	SNA Server Data,	LOC Address (Dec)
address		Session Data	The values specified for the RIPSS configuration
			must match the values specified on the LOCADR
			parameter of the CRTDEVRTL command.
			Note that the RIPSS LOC Address is a decimal
			value; the AS/400 value is a 2-digit hexadecimal
			number.
NRZI data	NRZI	SDLC Server Data	Data coding/decoding
encoding			For SDLC connections, the values specified for the
			AS/400 CRTLINSDLC command and the RIPSS
			configuration must match:
			v If the RIPSS response is NRZI, NRZI(*YES)
			must be specified for the CRTLINSDLC
			command.
			v If the RIPSS response is NRZ, NRZI(*NO) must
			be specified for the CRTLINSDLC command.
SSCP identifier	SSCPID	HST Server Data	SSCP Name
			For SDLC connections, if used, the value specified
			by the RIPSS configuration must match the last 10
			digits of the SSCPID parameter specified on the
			CRTCTLRTL command.
Station address	STNADR	SDLC Server Data	Poll address (hex)
			For SDLC connections, values specified for the
			AS/400 CRTCTLRTL command and the RIPSS
			configuration must match.

Examples: Connecting AS/400 to a 4690 retail controller

AS/400 retail communications provide the ability to attach retail controllers to the AS/400 system. Retail communications manage data with the intersystem communications function (ICF) file. For communications to begin between programs, the retail communications device must first be configured and varied on.

Example 1: AS/400 to 4690 LU0 connection over token-ring network
