LINCS Configuration
707023-003
When the LINCS has been IMLed with a default configuration (such as the first time the
LINCS is IMLed, or if the Config key is pressed at state 500), there will not be a supervisor
password defined. You may also choose not to define a password. If no password is in effect,
ANY user may enter the password-protected utilities. Using a password is recommended.
If the Configuration utility is entered for display purposes only (i.e., not entered for update),
then the supervisor password will not be displayed. If entered in update mode, then the password
will be displayed, and can be updated.
Machine Check Options
This field determines what LINCS will do if a machine check condition occurs. Options are:
• Dump and No IML (default) - Dump data will be written to the disk, but LINCS will not
re-IML
• Dump and IML - Dump data will be written to the disk, and then LINCS will re-IML
• No Dump and No IML - LINCS takes no action
• No Dump and IML - LINCS simply re-IMLs
The disk selected to dump to will be A, B, C, or D, whichever is found first. We recommend
the hard disk be used for dumps instead of floppy, due to the size of the dump and speed of the
hard drive. You can copy the dump file to diskette(s) using the Copy Data Objects utility on
the Media Management menu in Central Control Mode.
LCD Message When All Comm Links Okay
This message displays when the SCON-2XL is powered up and all configured communications
interfaces are communicating as they should. The default value is the model number.
3270 LU Number Display
This field has the following toggle options:
• Hex - This is the default option. If selected, 3270 LU numbers will be displayed in
hexadecimal format throughout all Central Control Utilities.
• Decimal - 3270 LU numbers will be displayed in decimal format throughout all Central
Control Utilities. This may be more convenient to use when comparing your configuration
to the host gen.
Central Site Customization
Options are: Disable, Enable
Enabling this option allows you to use the Central Site Customization Utility to define library
members. 512 KB of Feature memory is required for this feature.
If you plan to electronically distribute Library members using Central Site Change
Management, then you must also select a host on the SNA Options panel.
Central Site Customization can also be used to configure and store multiple LINCS
configurations for a single machine. This is useful when reconfiguring for new users or
hardware.
