• DATMODE
DATMODE must be HALF.
• PU ADDR
The PU ADDR must equal the value configured for the station address defined
in the 3708 for the SNA host.
• PUName
It is recommended that the name associated with the PU macro match the name
defined in the 3708's SNA PU Network Name. This is not required, but
because the 3708 uses the SNA PU Network Name in its alerts to the host,
network management is easier if the two names are the same, related, or
equivalent.
• MAXDATA
MAXDATA must equal 265.
• PUTYPE
PUTYPE must be 2.
• LUName
It is recommended that the name associated with the LU macro match the name
defined in the 3708's SNA LU Network Name. This is not required, but
because the 3708 uses the SNA LU Network Name in its alerts to the host,
network management is easier if the two names are the same, related, or
equivalent.
• LOCADDR
The LOCADDR must be 2 greater than the value configured for the 3708's
SNA LU Device Number.
• SSCPFM
A-2
IBM 3708 Description
The 3708 can support either SSCPFM
=
USSNTO or SSCPFM
=
USSSCS.
When a terminal attached to a 3708 port has received the screen numbered "C4"
( You can now type your system logon ),
data received from the host, prior to a
BIND, is assumed to be data from the SSCP, and is sent to the terminal using
standard EBCDIC/ASCII translation. No formatting is done to the data by the
3708.
The exception to this is that a NL character (newline) received is converted to a
CR/LF (carriage return/line feed). If the host parameter "SSCPFM" has been
set to USSSCS, host data contains NL characters; whereas if USSNTO is used,
CR/LF is used.
Note that when USSSCS is used, the host application may assume that when it
sends a NL character, the remainder of the "current" line is erased before
proceeding to the next line. This is not, however, done by the 3708 in this
UNBOUND state.
