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.

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.
