Configuring With ADDTCPIFC
The following three parameters must be specified:
Line Description (LIND)
The line description name is the user's name for the AS/400 adapter. This name must be identical to the name entered when the TCP/IP is configured on the AS/400.
Resource Name (RSRCNAME)
The
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 AS/400 For ASCII Using TCP/IP
The next step is to configure the interface on the AS/400 for
TCP/IP.
NOTE: The AS/400 interface is not the NIC. Do not set the AS/400 interface address to the same address as the NIC IP address. Also, do not add the NIC to the AS/400 TCP/IP interface list.
Configuring With ADDTCPIFC
ADDTCPIFC is used to add a TCP/IP interface to the AS/400. This step configures the AS/400 for attachments to a TCP/IP network.
At the AS/400 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 37.
