Matching AS/400 device description parameters for a host system

You must match host system communications configuration parameters with AS/400 values. A description
of the AS/400 values are in the following table. For information about configuring host systems, see the
manuals VTAM Installation and Resource Definition, SC23-0111, and Network Control Program Resource
Definition Reference, SC30-3254.
You can specify some host system parameters on multiple definition statements, such as the GROUP,
LINE, PU, and LU. The following table lists only the lowest level definition statement that is used by the
host system.
To configure an AS/400 to a host system:
v See "Examples: Connecting AS/400 to a host system" on page 26 for an example of connecting an
AS/400 to a host system.

Values specified for each system must match.
SSCPNAME
Required only if APPN(*YES). AS/400 controller
description value must match SSCPNAME specified in
the Virtual Telecommunications Access Method (VTAM)
start options list (ATCSTRyy).
NETID
Required only if APPN(*YES). AS/400 controller
description value must match NETID specified in the
VTAM start options list (ATCSTRyy).
SAPADDR
For 9370/LAN only, the AS/400 controller description
DSAP must match the host SAPADDR parameter.
The SAPADDR parameter is a decimal value (4-252);
the AS/400 value is specified as a 2-digit hexadecimal
number.
SSCPID
Required if APPN(*YES) or if RMTCPNAME is not
specified. AS/400 controller description value must
match SSCPID specified in the VTAM start options list
(ATCSTRyy).
The SSCPID parameter is a decimal value (0-65535);
the AS/400 value is specified as a 12-digit hexadecimal
number, of which the first 2 digits are
ADDR
AS/400 system station address must be unique within
host PU definitions. Controller description STNADR
must match the value specified in the line description.
