Matching AS/400 controller description parameters for a remote AS/400
system
You must coordinate communications configuration parameters between local and remote AS/400 systems.
The parameters are described in the following table. This table shows those prompts and parameters that
must be coordinated when you specify controller descriptions for the local and remote AS/400 systems.
To configure a local AS/400 to a remote AS/400:
v See "Connecting one AS/400 to another AS/400 system" on page 37 for an example of connecting one
AS/400 to another AS/400 system.
v Use the following table for the controller descriptions.

Notes
If X.25 DCE support is used (X25DCE(*YES)), only one
of the AS/400 line descriptions should specify *YES.
The system specifying X25DCE(*YES) should also
specify CNNINIT(*LOCAL); the other AS/400 system
should specify X25DCE(*NO) and CNNINIT(*REMOTE)
or CNNINIT(*WAIT).
For switched connections, both systems can also
specify X25DCE(*NEG) to negotiate the DCE and DTE
roles, and CNNINIT(*CALLER) to allow either system to
initiate the connection by making the call.
Notes
The adapter address specified on the local system
controller description must match the line description
ADPTADR parameter specified by the remote system.
If the AS/400 system uses an Ethernet line through an
8209 LAN Bridge, see "Appendix C: Local Area Network
Addressing Considerations" in the Communications
Configuration
book.
For X.25 switched virtual circuits (SVCs), the CNNNBR
parameter on the local system controller description
must match the NETADR parameter on the line
description for the remote system.
For switched virtual circuits (SVCs), passwords
specified for each system must match.
DSAP specified for the local AS/400 system must match
the SSAP specified in the remote AS/400 controller
description.
