LU 6.2 API/iX Configuration
This section describes the AS/400 configuration parameters that must be
specified in order for an HP 3000 to communicate in an APPN network. The
HP 3000 uses LU 6.2 API/iX to act as a LEN node . The AS/400, configured
as a Network Node, routes APPC sessions from the HP 3000 to other nodes
in the APPN network.
Display Network Attributes
This portion of the AS/400 configuration describes the attributes of the
APPN network.
Local network ID Must appear in the HP 3000 configuration as the first
part of the Fully Qualified Remote LU Name in the
APPC: Independent LU Session Type Data screen. If
the AS/400 is in the same network as the HP 3000, the
Local network ID must match the value of the HP 3000
Local Network ID field of the APPC: Network ID Data
screen.
APPN node type Must be *NETNODE.
Display Mode Description
This portion of the AS/400 configuration describes the mode of
communication between LUs in the network.
LCLCTLSSN (Locally controlled sessions) Must be 0.
INPACING (Inbound pacing value) Must match the Maximum
Pacing Window (Send) configured on the HP 3000 in
the APPC: Mode Type Data screen.
OUTPACING (Outbound pacing value) Must match the Maximum
Pacing Window (Receive) configured on the HP 3000
in the APPC: Mode Type Data screen.
MAXLENRU (Max length of request unit) Must match the value
of the HP 3000 Maximum RU Size (Send and Receive)
in the APPC: Mode Type Data screen.
APPN Configuration List
This portion of the AS/400 configuration lists the local and remote
locations in the APPN network that cannot be dynamically configured.
Display Line Description
This portion of the AS/400 configuration describes the connection between
the AS/400 and the HP 3000.
ROLE (Data link role) Must be *PRI (data link role for
the AS/400).
MAXFRAME (Maximum frame size) Must match the MAX DATA value
configured on the HP 3000 SNA Node Configuration:
PU Data screen.
LINESPEED (Line speed) Must match the Transmission Speed
value configured on the HP 3000 SNA Node
Configuration: SDLC Link Data screen.
Display Controller Description
This portion of the AS/400 configuration describes the HP 3000 as a LEN
node in the APPN network.
RMTNETID (Remote network identifier) If the AS/400 and the
HP 3000 have different network IDs, this value must
match the Network ID configured in the HP 3000
APPC: Network ID Data screen. If the AS/400 and
the HP 3000 reside in the same network, this value
can be specified as *NETATTR, which points to the
Local network ID in the Network Attribute Table.
EXCHID (Exchange identifier) Must match the ID BLK and ID
NUM values configured on the HP 3000 SNA Node
Configuration: PU Data screen for dial-up lines.
STNADR (Station address) Must match the Station ID value
configured on the HP 3000 SNA Node Configuration:
SDLC Link Data screen.
ROLE (Data link role) Must be *SEC (data link role of HP
3000)
NODETYPE (APPN node type) Must be *LENNODE.
Display Device Description
This portion of the AS/400 configuration describes the devices used for
program-to-program communications.
RMTLOCNAME (Remote location name) Must match the HP 3000 Local
LU Name configured in the APPC: Independent LU
Session Type Data screen.
LCLLOCNAME (Local location name) Must match the last part of
the HP 3000 Fully Qualified Remote LU Name
configured in the APPC: Independent LU Session Type
Data screen.
MODE Must match the HP 3000 Mode Name configured for the
LU in the APPC: Independent LU Session Type Data
screen.
SNGSSN (Single session) Must complement the HP 3000
Parallel Sessions value configured for the LU in
the APPC: Independent LU Session Type Data screen.
LCLCTLSSN (Locally controlled session) For the single-session
device, the value must be *NO.
