or public data network, you need to know whether you will be using a
switched virtual circuit (SVC) or permanent virtual circuit (PVC).
v To use an SVC, you need to know the network address of each remote
system in the network with which you want to communicate.
v To use a PVC, you need to know the related logical channel identifier. You
can have a network address or a permanent virtual circuit, but not both, for
a remote system information entry.
If a remote system is an iSeries, you can determine its network address by
using the Display Line Description (DSPLIND) command on that remote
system.
Administration menu (Figure 1 on page 6) provides easy access to common
functions associated with administering TCP/IP.
To get to this menu, enter the GO TCPADM command from the iSeries Main
Menu.
menu (Figure 2 on page 8) guides you through all the tasks for configuring
your server to communicate with other systems in a TCP/IP network.
You can reach this menu in two ways:
v Select option 1 on the TCPADM menu.
v Enter the Configure TCP/IP (CFGTCP) command.
