Add LAN Host to Library
The Add LAN Host to Library window (Figure 219 on page 340) allows you to
configure a LAN-attached host for communication with the 3494 Tape Library. You
can configure up to 64 LAN host ports. A maximum of 32 of these host ports can
use the APPC communications protocol; the remaining host ports must use the
TCP/IP communications protocol. The information you need to enter may be
available from a command on the host. The person who set up your LAN
configuration also may be able to provide this information.
Note: If the host is an AS/400 or iSeries, the following commands provide the
information that you need to enter in the Add LAN Host to Library
window:
v If the AS/400 or iSeries operating system is earlier than Version 3 Release
6, use DSPLANMLD (the Display LAN Information command).
v If the AS/400 or iSeries operating system is Version 3 Release 6 or later,
use DSPLANMLB (the Display LAN Media Library Information
command).
Communication Protocol
Select the type of communication protocol for use with this host.
Each LAN-attached host has a particular LAN protocol that it uses to
communicate with the 3494. Table 17 lists LAN-attached hosts and their
associated protocols.

If you select APPC as the communications protocol, an Add LAN Host to Library
window (Figure 219 on page 340) opens. This window allows you to add a
LAN-attached host, such as an AS/400 or iSeries, to the 3494 configuration.
