Communications Server for Linux configuration
Communications Server for Linux configuration involves the following steps:
- Defining a local node
- Adding a Token-Ring port
- Defining a local LU
The Communications Server for Linux main window, from which you start, is shown here:
Defining a local node
- From the Communications Server for Linux main menu, click Services --> Configure
node parameters. The "Node parameters" window opens.
- Set APPN support to End node.
- In the Control point name fields, specify the network
qualified name of the control point at the local node. In the first field,
type the network name ( 4 ). In the second field, type the
control point name ( 2 ).
- In the Control point alias field, type the control
point name ( 2 ) again.
- In the Node ID fields, type the two components of
the node ID ( 3 ).
- Click OK. A message is displayed informing you that
a default LU has been defined automatically for the local node.
- Click OK.
Adding a Token-Ring port
- From the Communications Server for Linux main menu, click Services --> Connectivity -->
New port. The following window opens.
- Set Port using to Token Ring Card, or to the type of network adapter card you are using.
- Click OK. The "Token-Ring SAP" window opens.
- In the SNA port name field, type the port name ( 9 ).
- Click OK.
Defining a local LU
- From the Communications Server for Linux main menu, click Services --> APPC -->
New independent local LU. The "Local LU" window opens.
- In the LU name field, type the name of the local
LU ( 5 ).
- Click the LU alias field. Communications Server for Linux suggests an LU
alias that is the same as the name of the local LU ( 5 ).
- Click OK.
