Network Information; Network Information Configuration Procedure - Decision Data 3000 Series User Manual

5Network Information

The Network Information parameters define the network names and connection numbers
required for communication between the AS/400 system and the controller. Refer to your
network subscriptions sheets for the required information.
The Network Information Configuration procedure consists of two parts: Network
Information screen and AS/400 System Configuration Parameters.
Define a set of Network Information screens for each of the PUs assigned to the controller.
For example, if the controller was assigned three PUs then three sets of Network
Information and AS/400 System configuration screens will be available. The corresponding
PU number is displayed on the screens.
Define the AS/400 System information screen with the names and connection number
required for the controller to communicate with the host.
The parameters displayed on the screens vary slightly depending on the type of line
assigned to the particular PU.

5.1Network Information Configuration Procedure

Configure the Network Information by defining network parameters that are required for
communication between the Twinax controller and the AS/400 system. Note that some
parameters must be specifically defined for the PUs that were assigned X.25, Token-Ring or
Ethernet attachment line types.
To configure the Network information:
1. Access the Setup menu.
2. Enter option (5) Network Information. The Network Information screen appears.
3. Define the parameters referring to the parameter definitions provided in this chapter.

AS/400 systems.

of Network Information configuration menus.
