9AS/400 System Configuration
In order for the AS/400 system to communicate with the Twinax Controller, two separate
configuration processes must take place: one, is the Controller configuration described in
previous chapters; the other is the AS/400 system configuration that is described in this
chapter. The AS/400 system configuration consists of matching certain attributes in the AS/
400 system with those of the Controller.
This chapter describes the Controller and AS/400 system attributes that must be matched,
commands used in AS/400 system configuration, and examples of matching system and
controller configurations for various line types.
9.1AS/400 Attributes to Configure
The AS/400 host configuration is divided into six groups of attributes:
a. Network attributes
b. Line description (SDLC, X.25, Token Ring or Ethernet).
c. Advanced Program to Program communication (APPC) control unit description.
d. Remote Workstation (RWS) control unit description.
e. Mode description
f. Non-programmable (NWS) device description.
Some of the matching attributes will be configured automatically by the AS/400 as
needed, while others must be configured manually.
Attributes configured automatically by the AS/400:
1.
APPC device description for the APPC controller.
2.
APPC device description for each PWS attached to the Model 3494.
3.
Virtual controller for PWS workstation function.
4.
Display devices for PWS WSF display sessions (attached to virtual controller).
5.
Printer devices for PWS WSF printer sessions (attached to virtual controller).
6.
APPC Controller (automatically created only in Token-Ring and Ethernet attachment)
7.
RWS Controller and device descriptions are automatically created for AS/400 version
3.1 OS/400 or higher.
