4.1Line Definitions

4.1.1Introduction

The controller can be connected to the AS/400 via SYNC or LAN. A SYNC line runs either
SDLC or X.25 protocols. A LAN connection runs LLC protocol. These connections can be
either to the same or different AS/400.
The controller supports up to 2 line connections:
♦1 SYNC lines
♦1 Token Ring or Ethernet connection.
To connect the control unit (CU) to the network carry out the following two procedures:
1. Define the line types via which communication with the AS/400 occurs. The options
available depend on the definitions in the "Hardware configuration" menu group.
2. Configure the line description for each selected line type:
The parameters of each of the defined lines should be configured according to the line
descriptions in the AS/400. Refer to chapter 9, for more details on how to define and
configure the line in the AS/400.
