Integrated Console Controller - IBM z13s Technical Manual

V1.2.1 Implementation Guide, SG24-7223. For the most recent CCL information, see this

CDLC, when used with CCL, emulates selected functions of IBM 3745/NCP operations. The
port that is used with the OSN support is displayed as an ESCON channel to the operating
system. This support can be used with OSA-Express5S 1000BASE-T and OSA-Express4S
1000BASE-T features.
Table 7-44 lists the minimum support requirements for OSN.

7.3.52 Integrated Console Controller

1000BASE-T Ethernet
The
function, which supports TN3270E (RFC 2355) and non-SNA DFT 3270 emulation. The
OSA-ICC function is defined as CHIPD type OSC and console controller, and has multiple
LPAR support, both as shared or spanned channels.
With the OSA-ICC function, 3270 emulation for console session connections is integrated in
the z13s through a port on the OSA-Express5S 1000BASE-T or OSA-Express4S
1000BASE-T features. This function eliminates the requirement for external console
controllers, such as 2074 or 3174, helping to reduce cost and complexity. Each port can
support up to 120 console session connections.
OSA-ICC can be configured on a PCHID-by-PCHID basis, and is supported at any of the
feature settings (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps, half-duplex or full-duplex).
Starting with z13s (z13 Driver 27) TLS/SSL with Certificate Authentication will be added to the
OSC CHPID to provide a secure and validated method for connecting clients to the z Systems
host.
Note: OSA-ICC supports up to 48 secure sessions per CHPID (the overall maximum of
120 connections is unchanged).
