Lower Limit Channel Address
For SNA:
Starting Channel address LINCS will occupy on the channel.
The address can be any hexadecimal number from x'00' to x'FF'. You should obtain the
appropriate value from your system programmer.
For CTC:
This is the first address of one or more address pairs that correspond to the LAN adapters
configured for the IP Channel Bridge feature. Each LAN adapter that is to be used with the IP
Channel Bridge feature requires one consecutive pair of addresses. The Lower Limit Channel
Address must be an even address when configuring CTC.
For Non-SNA:
The channel address corresponds to the first physical session address for a non-SNA session
configured with LINCS. Valid values are any hexadecimal number x'00' through x'FF'.
Upper Limit Channel Address
For SNA:
This is the last channel address LINCS will occupy on the channel.
The Upper Limit Channel Address must be a value such that (Lower Limit Channel Address
+ Number of Host Circuits + Number of Gateway Circuits - 1) is less than or equal to
hexadecimal x'FF', which is the highest channel address available on the channel.
You should make a record of the channel addresses allocated on the Channel/SNA panel.
They will be used again to specify which channel addresses will be assigned to which host
circuits and gateway circuits on the 3270 Host Circuits and Gateway Circuits panels.
