Defining Connectivity Components
Defining Link Stations
For switched incoming ports, the dial string is configured on the port. For leased ports, this field does not
apply.
By default, the dial string is sent to the modem at the rate of 1200 bits per second (the default baud rate)
using asynchronous communications. You can match the baud rate to the modem’s baud rate by placing one
of the following numbers (enclosed by parentheses) in front of the dial string:
•
1 (300 baud)
• 2 (600 baud)
• 3 (1200 baud)
• 4 (2400 baud)
• 5 (4800 baud)
• 6 (9600 baud)
• 7 (19200 baud)
For example, you can specify a 9600 baud rate dial string by entering (6), as follows:
(6)AT &&D3 &&Q1 DT7,012345678
For details of the rest of the dial string, refer to your modem’s documentation.
Additional Link Station Parameters for Token Ring, FDDI and Ethernet
MAC address
The MAC address of the remote station, entered as a series of hexadecimal digits. The MAC address uniquely
identifies the adapter card on the remote system.
If you do not know what value to use, consult your SNA network planner.
If the remote end of this link is a VTAM host, you can find its MAC address in the
MACADDR= parameter
of the VTAM Port definition.
If you are configuring a link to an AS/400 system, the MAC address is the ADPTADR parameter in the Line
Description.
SAP number
The SAP number of the port on the remote computer. The SAP number distinguishes between different links
using the same adapter card. This is a hex number, normally 04. It must be a multiple of 4.
If you do not know what value to use, consult your SNA network planner.
If the remote end of this link is a VTAM host, the SAP number is the SAPADDR= parameter of the VTAM
PU definition.
If you are configuring a link to an AS/400 system, the SAP number is the SSAP parameter in the Line
Description.
Additional Link Station Parameters for X.25 (QLLC)
Circuit type
Specify either Permanent virtual circuit or Switched virtual circuit to indicate whether
the circuit is permanent or switched.
Channel ID
The channel ID that identifies the virtual circuit the link station is to use (only applicable for a permanent
virtual circuit). Channel IDs are numbered from 1 up to a maximum of 4096. If you have only one permanent
virtual circuit, its channel ID is likely to be 1.
