The following options are configurable for the ESC/ESX board.

CU Index

This option identifies which of the 16 (0-F hex) Control Unit Images supported by
ESC or which of the 64 (00-4F) Control Unit Images supported by the ESX are being
configured for this interface. By default, CU 0 is offered. You can change the interface
number by toggling the value of "0". You can enable additional images by pressing
the key. Each CU image must be dedicated to a single L-PAR on the host.
The maximum number of CU definitions supported by the SCON-2XL is determined
by the model, number of ESCON interfaces, and whether feature activation disks have
been installed. The SCON-20L supports up to 3 CU. The SCON-22L supports up to 4
CU in the base unit but can be expanded up to 16 through installation of FADs. The
SCON-25L comes standard with support for up to 16 CU through one ESC interface,
expandable up to 32 CU through two ESCON interfaces. The SCON-28L comes standard
with support for up to 20 CU through each ESX interface, expandable up to 64 CU.

Protocol

The only supported protocol on the SCON-2XL for the ESC card is Non-SNA (and
Non-SNA with Channel Path Filtering). For support of SNA, APPN, or IP over the
ESC (ESCON) interface, other Visara Communication Servers may be used (1174
