LINCS Configuration
707023-003
Valid characters are alphanumeric, . (period), - (dash), and _ (underscore).
Note that Host Names are case sensitive, and that workstations or PCs that will connect to this
host must match the name exactly.
Line
Toggle to the desired host line.
Link Profile
Toggle to the desired Link Profile.
If you toggle to DLUR, data to this PU will be routed from a DLUS using APPN. You will be
issued a warning if you toggle to DLUR, and have not enabled APPN. Note that you do not
have to manually create a DLUR Link Profile; it is internally defined.
Local SAP
This is the SAP address of the LINCS node for this host circuit. Enter a 2-digit hex SAP
address. Valid SAP addresses are multiples of 4, ranging from 4 to EC (hex).
If Incoming LANSYS Connections are enabled on this line, SAP 98 (hex) is disallowed on
this line. SAP E0 (hex) is reserved for IPX.
PUID
Enter a 5-digit hex number for PUID for this LINCS node. The PUID is used in the XID
(Exchange IDs) response and in reporting maintenance statistics. The network systems
programmer will provide the number. The default is 00000.
For connections to an SNA switched major node over token ring or Ethernet, the PUID together
with the BLKID must match the values in the VTAM PU definition. The PUID must match the
NUMID macro, and the built-in BLKID of x’017' must be used in the BLKID macro.
CU Index
This is the CU Index as defined on the ESCON Line Options panels. Each CU Index
corresponds to a CNTLUNIT macro on the host CPU(s). The CU Index itself is a LINCS-
assigned value, to give each defined CU a unique assignment.
PU Address
Enter a 2-digit hex number that matches the downstream node’s PU address. Make sure that
the address you enter is unique for this line.
Remote IP Address
Enter a 12-digit decimal number for the IP address of the remote host. The IP address should
be a uniquely assigned value given to the remote device by the network administrator. It
needs to follow the guidelines of any IP address assignment.
Remote SAP
Enter a 2-digit hex SAP address for the host node of this circuit. Valid SAP addresses are
multiples of 4, ranging from 4 to EC (hex).
