Examples: Connecting AS/400 to a 4690 retail controller

AS/400 retail communications provide the ability to attach retail controllers to the AS/400 system. Retail
communications manage data with the intersystem communications function (ICF) file. For communications
to begin between programs, the retail communications device must first be configured and varied on.

Example 1: AS/400 to 4690 LU0 connection over token-ring network
