Establishing PU-SSCP Sessions on the HP 3000 

For each node you configure on the HP 3000, a corresponding T2.0 or T2.1
node should be in the remote system configuration.  Figure 4-1 shows how
a session is established between the SSCPon the remote system and the PU
on the HP 3000 node (either a T2.0 node or a T2.1 node).  The remote
system sends out a poll on the data link, in the form of a Set Normal
Response Mode (SNRM), and continues to poll the link until it receives a
positive response from the HP 3000.  The HP 3000 node is activated with
the SNACONTROL STARTcommand (see chapter 6 of this manual).  The SSCP
then sends an ACTivate PU (ACTPU)request to the HP 3000 PU. SNA
Transport, as the PU services manager, sends a positive response back to
the SSCP. The PU-SSCP session is now established.
