Defining Connectivity Components
Defining Ports, DLCs, and Connection Networks
Consult your SNA network planner if you do not know
how to configure any of these parameters.
Additional Port Parameters for Token Ring, FDDI and
Ethernet
Local SAP number
The address of the SAP, usually 04. Use a different
value only if you need to use more than one SAP on the
card.
The SAP number must be a multiple of 4.
If you do not know what value to enter for this field,
contact your SNA network planner.
Define on connection network
Whether the SAP is to access the LAN as a connection
network. Defining a connection network enables links
between nodes on the connection network to be started
dynamically, without prior configuration.
This field applies only if the local node is not a LEN
node, because LEN nodes cannot use connection
networks.
CN name
The name of the connection network. You do not need
to enter the CN name unless you specified the Define
on connection network option to define the SAP on a
connection network. The CN name is used as the name
of a virtual routing node in order to establish links
between the nodes on the connection network.
Specify the same CN name on all nodes on the
connection network.
Additional Port Parameters for X.25 (QLLC)
Match incoming X.25 address
The link address of the remote station (only needed if
you want to restrict incoming data traffic). For a
SpiderX25 port, you can configure an incoming match
address. If you supply this value, incoming call packets
are accepted only if they specify an address that starts
with the configured address.
