IBM AS/400 - Manual (Page 70)

AS/400 Prompt
AS/400
Parameter 4700 Macro 4700 Parameter
Maximum
frame size MAXFRAME COMLINK CNL
Value specified for the 4700 CNL parameter must be
coordinated with the value specified for the AS/400 MAXFRAME
parameter on the CRTCTLFNC command. Because the
MAXFRAME parameter includes transmission and request
header lengths, MAXFRAME should be 9 bytes longer than the
4700 MWL parameter.
MWL
Value specified for the 4700 MWL parameter must be
coordinated with the value specified for the AS/400 MAXFRAME
parameter on the CRTCTLFNC command. Because the
MAXFRAME parameter includes transmission and request
header lengths, MAXFRAME should be 9 bytes longer than the
4700 MWL parameter.
If the AS/400 maximum length of request unit (MAXLENRU
parameter) specified for device descriptions attached to the 4700
controller is larger than the MAXFRAME parameter specified for
the controller description, the 4700 should also specify
OPTIONS=(SEGMENT).
NRZI data
encoding NRZI COMLINK ACB
For SDLC finance communications, if the line does not use NRZI
data encoding (NRZI(*NO) on the CRTLINSDLC command),
include the DCE value on the ACB parameter (ACB = DCE).
Station address STNADR X25CKT CUA
The values specified for the AS/400 STNADR parameter on the
CRTCTLFNC command must match the physical address (CUA)
parameter specified for the 4700.
Matching AS/400 parameters for FBSS finance controllers
You must coordinate several parameter values that are specified for the AS/400 system and IBM Financial
Branch System Services (FBSS) finance controllers in the controller configuration. The following table
shows those AS/400 configuration parameters that must match values on the SDLC, Token-Ring, or
X.25DLC configuration displays for FBSS controllers.
AS/400 prompts are listed in alphabetical order by parameter name; the AS/400 commands on which the
parameters are specified are included in the rightmost column of the table.
For more information about configuring FBSS controllers, see the IBM Financial Branch System Services
Installation Planning and Administration Guide, SC19-5173.
For more information about configuring the 4700 controllers, see Volume 6 of the 4700 Finance
Communication System Controller Programming Library, GC31-2068.
To configure the AS/400 to a FBSS finance controller:
v See “Example: Connecting AS/400 to a finance network” on page 67 for an example of connecting an
AS/400 to a 4701 finance controller.
v Use the following table to connect an AS/400 to a 4701 finance controller.
