IBM 8100
This section describes the generation parameters and restrictions that apply to the
IBM 8100.
8100 Generation Parameters
The following is a list of 8100 generation parameters recommended or required to
support the 3708:
• Link Name
It is recommended that the name defined in the NAME column in the system
configuration panel for the 8100 Link match the name defined in the SNA PU
Line Network Name parameter of the 3708 configuration. This is not required,
but because the 3708 uses the SNA Line Network Name in its alerts to the host,
network management is easier if the two names are the same, related, or
equivalent.
• NRZI
Both NRZI
=
YES and NRZI
=
NO may be supported. This value must match
the value defined in the NRZI parameter of the 3708.
• STADDR
Address defined in the STADDR column of the adapter configuration panel for
the 3708 must match the Station Address parameter configured in the 3708.
• 3708 Name
It is recommended that the name defined in the NAME column in the adapter
configuration panel for the 3708 device match the name defined in the SNA PU
Network Name parameter of the 3708 configuration. This is not required, but
because the 3708 uses the SNA Line Network Name in its alerts to the host,
network management is easier if the two names are the same, related, or
equivalent.
• Device Name
It is recommended that the name defined in the NAME column of the adapter
configuration panel for a device attached to the 3708 match the SNA LU Device
Name parameter in the 3708 configuration. This is not required, but because
the 3708 uses the SNA Line Network Name in its alerts to the host, network
management is easier if the two names are the same, related, or equivalent.
• LOCADR
The address defined in the LOCADR column of the adapter configuration panel
for a device attached to the 3708 must be 2 less than the SNA LU Device
Address defined in the 3708.
