Port
Host Name
[01 - 10]
The 3708 displays the port number of the port that you are defining. You cannot
change this field.
Type any 8-character name for this name. The host name is displayed for
downstream ports on the 3708's Host Selection Screen (C3).
Host Keyboard Source Field
[1,0]
I-The host is allowed to communicate with a keyboard device on the specified
ports.
0-
The host is not allowed to communicate with a keyboard device on the
specified ports.
Type a 1 or
0
for each port. The leftmost position is for port 1; the rightmost
position is for port 10 as follows:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
If you have two hosts, use this field to configure a keyboard device to communicate
with each host. For example, in the network example in Figure 4-2 on page 4-5,
the IBM PC AT communicates with both SNA hosts. To allow access, the Host
Keyboard Source Field for both SNA host A and SNA host B must be configured
with a 1 in the port 2 position. See "Ports Configured for Hosts" on page B-3 for
more information.
Note: If the ports contain hosts or printers instead of keyboard devices choose O.
Host Printer Source Field
[1,0]
I-The host is allowed to communicate with a printer on the specified port. This
printer must be defined for system or shared mode. See "Printer and Keyboard
Printer Support" on page 2-3 for more information about system and shared
modes.
0-
The host is not allowed to communicate with a printer in system or shared
mode on the specified port.
Type a 1 or
0
for each port. The leftmost position is for port 1; the rightmost
position is for port 10 as follows:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
For example, to support the example network in Figure 4-2 on page 4-5, define the
Host Printer Source Field for SNA host A as 1010000000 to allow access to the IBM
4201 on port 1 and the 3102 attached to the IBM 3161 on port 3. See "Ports
Configured for Hosts" on page B-3 for more information.
