Field Definitions

The options for SNA-PU4 are the same as for SNA-PU2 with the additional parameters
listed below. Also the Dynamic Connection option should not be selected for PU4
connections. Only the options unique to PU4 are listed below.

Net ID:
This option corresponds to the NETID used by the local network that the FEP-
4600 is providing the connection to.

Subarea Number: This represents the subarea number used by the FEP-4600 for the
Token Ring network connection. If there is a Null Network use the Null Subarea number.

TG Number: This number represents the TG number that has been genned into the
remote FEP for the connection between it and the FEP-4600.

SSCP Name: This is the name assigned to the adjacent (ESCON-attached) VTAM.

SNI: This option describes the SNI function that this connection is to perform. Options
are:

None: No SNI is being performed or the SNI is being handled entirely by a
remote NCP.
Single Sided: The FEP-4600 is replacing the Gateway NCP in a single sided SNI
network connection. (The remote NCP is not configured as a Gateway NCP.)
Null SNI: The FEP-4600 is to participate in a Null SNI network connection.


Element Number: This is the Element Number that the FEP-4600 is using to represent
itself to the remote NCP. Normally this would default to Element 1 for the NCP that the
FEP-4600 is replacing. The actual number may not show up in the remote NCP gen if the
default is being used.

Adj. Element Number: This is the Element Number used by the remote front end that
the FEP-4600 is communicating with. Again, this value is most often configured to be 1,
but should match what was previously genned in the NCP that the FEP-4600 is replacing.

NULL-Net ID: This parameter should represent the value configured for the NULL
network if NULL SNI is selected, or should refer to the remote Network NETID if
single-sided SNI is configured.
