Configuring BSC Batch

Introduction

The SmartSwitch 1800 supports ports configured for BSC (binary synchronous com-
munication) Batch, which interconnects IBM 2780/3780 devices over frame relay or
X.25.

Required Configuration

To run BSC Batch in a SmartSwitch 1800, make sure the following are properly con-
figured:

Node parameters

(Chapter 4). This is general configuration that must be done

no matter which protocols will be run in the node.

Loaded protocols

(Chapter 5): BSC Batch, as well as frame relay or X.25 if BSC

will be transported over one of those.

Frame relay

(Chapter 7) or

X.25

(Chapter 8) port(s) that will connect to a

network or frame relay PVC.

Logical X.25

(Chapter 8), if BSC will be encapsulated for transmission over

frame relay.

BSC Batch port(s)

(page 11-2) that will connect to the user devices.

Subscriber IDs

(page 11-8), which identifiy user devices to each other and the

SmartSwitch.
