Matching AS/400 parameters for 3684 retail controllers
You must coordinate parameters with the AS/400 system and the 3684 retail controller. The following table
lists those parameters.
AS/400 parameters are listed in alphabetical order; the commands on which the parameters are specified
are included in the rightmost column of the table.
To configure the AS/400 to a 3684 controller, use the following table.

Definition
Statement
QFSFGLNK
LINECON
Value specified for the AS/400 CNN parameter on the
CRTLINSDLC command must match the values specified for bits
2 and 3 of the 3684 LINECON parameter.
QFSFGLNK
LINECON
Value specified for the AS/400 DUPLEX parameter on the
CRTLINSDLC command must match the value specified for bit 6
of the 3684 LINECON parameter.
Notes
Bit 2: Specify 1 if using nonswitched
communications, or 0 if using switched
communications. If switched, the SENDID parameter
must also be specified.
Bit 3: Specify 1 if using a multipoint communications
protocol, or 0 if not. 01 is not a valid combination for
these bits.
Direct attachment. This bit must be set to
communications with the AS/400 system. There is no
equivalent parameter for the AS/400 system.
Data carrier setting.
Answer tone generation. There is no equivalent
parameter for the AS/400 system. Specify
indicate that the modem generates the answer tone,
or
to indicate that the controller generates the
answer tone.
