The Host Circuit panel is used to define a Control Unit definition for the 2XL. Host
Circuit panels must be defined, for each Control Unit definition on the host. Later in the
configuration, device sessions will be assigned to this Host Circuit. A description of the
fields found on the Host Circuit panel can be found below.
Line
Toggle this field to indicate the ESC/ESX card, through which your host circuit will
attach. If you are using more than one ESC/ESX card in the 2XL, you must toggle to
indicate which card (for example: ESC1 or ESC2).
Host Identifier
This is an optional 16 byte field which can be used to identify the host circuit to the
users. If defined, it may be used to identify which host or LPAR the user is communicating
with, by placing this information in the status line of the user's display. You must enable
the display of this information in the Display Device Profile. This name will also appear
on Configuration panels (and any other LINCS Central Control panels) which display
host circuits. If no Host Identifier is defined, the host circuit characters, 00-7F (A-Z, 1-
6 for older versions of LINCS code) will appear on the panels which display host circuits.
Valid characters for the Host Identifier are alphanumeric, . (period), - (dash), and _
(underscore). The host identifier field will appear in the status line of Coax, Telnet, or
ASCII displays, but not TN3270 clients.
CU Index
The CU Index parameter identifies which (ESCON) Control Unit image this Host Circuit
is to be associated with. The CU Index must have been previously defined on the Line
Options panel for the ESC/ESX card.
