The gateway uses SNA protocols to connect client workstations in remote branch offices to corporate IBM® hosts. Eicon SNA Gateway supports the use of 802.2 LLC, Frame Relay, SDLC, X.25 and Eicon IDLC WAN protocols over leased, dialup, and ISDN lines.
Eicon SNA Gateway Components 15 Eicon SNA Gateway Components Eicon SNA Gateway is a combination of sophisticated communications hardware and software. The Eicon SNA Gateway software consists of SNA protocol software and, for the SNA LAN Gateway, LAN Transport services.
Eiconcard Support 16 Eiconcard Support The Eiconcard is the hardware device used to operate the Eicon SNA Gateway. It is an intelligent communications coprocessor, with its own CPU and onboard memory. It is sold separately. Depending on which Eiconcard you have, the external interface support includes V.24 (RS-232 and X.21bis), V.35, X.21 with V.11 (X.27), and ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI).
SNA Protocol Support 17 SNA Protocol Support This section describes briefly the different protocols that you can use with Eicon SNA Gateway to link to a remote host. Integrating with IBM’s SNA IBM’s SNA (System Network Architecture) is a seven-layered architecture that controls the exchange of information between IBM systems. Eicon SNA Gateway provides full support for SNA protocols including: SNA Path Control, SNA Function Management, APPC/LU6.2, and NetView over data-link protocols such as 802.
SNA Protocol Support 18 SDLC SDLC (Synchronous Data Link Control) is the primary data link protocol used for wide-area network connections within SNA. It is used to manage information exchanged across a single physical data link between two nodes.
SNA Protocol Support 19 X.25/QLLC X.25 is a widely supported internetworking protocol used by private and public telecommunications networks. X.25 is designed to carry high volumes of data quickly and without errors, and uses packet-switching to transmit data between connected computers. Client Workstation (SNA LAN Gateway only) Gateway PC Client Workstation (SNA LAN Gateway only) X.25 Link (QLLC) Client Workstation (SNA LAN Gateway only) X.25 Link (QLLC) IBM Mainframe 3745 (NPSI) X.
SNA Protocol Support 20 Frame Relay Eicon SNA Gateway supports the transport of SNA traffic over Frame Relay (SNA/FR) connections. This allows Eicon Networks to support IBM products that comply with RFC 1490, such as Advanced Communications Function/ Network Control Program (ACF/NCP) Version 7 Release 1 and OS/400 Version 2 Release 3 for the AS/400.

ECDIALER and ISDN 86 ECDIALER Script Language A modem script tells your dialer what information to send in response to specific cues. A script is like a program, and elaborate scripts can be written to automate a wide range of communications functions. ECDIALER script is used for the AT Dialer and programming of external asynchronous/ synchronous Hayes compatible modems. The ECDIALER Script feature supports most external modems. Use any ASCII text editor to create the script file.
ECDIALER and ISDN 87 usually returns “OK” to acknowledge a command. Use MATCH “OK” to wait for the “OK” string. The string must be enclosed in quotation marks. MATCH waits the number of seconds specified in a previous TIMEOUT command. Use IFERROR directly following MATCH to test for success or failure. This command reads and ignores any characters before the match is found or a timeout occurs. OPEN_COMM This command initializes the Eiconcard for communication with the external modem.
ECDIALER and ISDN 88 OPEN_COMM, but you must have the same stop bit setting as the computer to which you are connected. This is the stop bits setting used by the Eiconcard Hayes dialer port to communicate with an external modem. TIMEOUT n This command sets the timeout value in seconds for the MATCH command. Default is 15 seconds. TYPE string | hex,... This command sends a string to the modem. The string must be enclosed in quotation marks (single or double) and can include any text or hexadecimal value.
ECDIALER and ISDN 89 If the AT commands given above are not compatible with your modem, you should determine, from your modem’s operating guide, the equivalent commands used to control the following parameters: Parameter Settings Required DTR on/off The Data Terminal Ready signal will be turned off to cause the modem to hang up. The modem should interpret DTR this way. DSR on/off The Data Set Ready signal is used to detect a connection.
ECDIALER and ISDN 90 The following is a sample script text for a Hayes-compatible modem. Use the sample as a base for your own script, but change the settings to ones appropriate for your own particular modem type. **************************************************************** This script file is used to configure hayes-compatible modems.

Analyzing Data: ECMODULE TRACE 170 Analyzing Data: ECMODULE TRACE Command ECMODULE TRACE option [/Filter f][/REset][/Block b] [/Size n][/Truncate n][/EBcdic] [/Outfile f] [/?] The ECMODULE TRACE function can be an essential tool for the data communications expert. In most cases, you will use ECMODULE TRACE under the guidance of an Eicon Networks representative. The following command shows trace data on an X.25 connection: ECMODULE TRACE X25 /T 256 X.25 Port X.
Analyzing Data: ECMODULE TRACE 171 Trace Buffer Multiple trace buffers may be active at the same time for different port or connection numbers. The amount of available memory on your Eiconcard limits the number of traces you can have active. Each time you start a trace, ECMODULE TRACE sets aside a new trace buffer (default size 2048 bytes) on the Eiconcard. Blocks and Protocol Elements Information in the trace buffer is stored in blocks, with each block being based on a protocol element.
Analyzing Data: ECMODULE TRACE 172 Trace Filter The trace filter lets you tailor the trace to examine certain groups of elements within the data stream. The trace filter is one byte long, with each bit filtering a specific type of protocol element. When you filter an element, you hide everything but that element. The filter is a two-digit hexadecimal number.
Analyzing Data: ECMODULE TRACE 173 Easy Mask Change To change the trace mask, you should clear the mask before you set a new mask. Use the following command to do this: ECMODULE TRACE /F FFnn Replace nn with the value of the new mask(s). For example: ECMODULE TRACE /F FF03 To trace all elements use the following command: ECMODULE TRACE /F FFFF To trace more than one type of protocol element, you can create a composite filter by adding together the filter value for each individual element.
Analyzing Data: ECMODULE TRACE 174 Sample ECMODULE TRACE Commands Here are some examples of ECMODULE TRACE with different command line parameters: ECMODULE TRACE X25 /P 2 Displays trace information on the X.25 protocol on port #2. ECMODULE TRACE HDLC /P 4 /S 4096 Traces the HDLC protocol, on port #4, with a trace buffer size of 4096 bytes. ECMODULE TRACE X25 /P 2 /F FF01 Displays only the data packets from an X.25 trace on port #2.

Appendix B Performance Optimization T HIS APPENDIX PRESENTS PERFORMANCE STATISTICS FOR ALL Eiconcards, and offers guidelines for optimizing performance. Use this information to choose the Eiconcard that takes fullest advantage of the bandwidth of your line, and maximizes packet switching capability, given practical LAN and X.25 line constraints. Use the Eicon Configuration Program to modify the X.25 and HDLC parameters.
Line Speeds and Performance 185 Line Speeds and Performance Although the Eicon SNA Gateway software lets you adjust network parameters for the best performance, certain restrictions inherent to the network itself can limit throughput. Line speeds in excess of 128 kbps are possible on dedicated lines, but public X.25 data networks may be as slow as 2400 bps. A slow line will be filled before the Eiconcard reaches its transmission capacity.
Line Speeds and Performance 186 X.25 Window Size Window Size specifies the packet interval at which information transfer stops while the sending node awaits acknowledgment from the receiver. Windowing allows more than one packet to be transmitted before an acknowledgment is received from the nearest node. X.25 windowing is designed to reduce waiting time for acknowledgments between nodes, as well as end-to-end.
Line Speeds and Performance 187 HDLC Window Size When modifying X.25 Window Size, you must also consider HDLC Window Size. X.25 packets are contained within HDLC Frames, and you can modify the HDLC Window Size to optimize transmission. Yet as the Window Size increases, so does the amount of data which must be re-transmitted in case of data error. The increased traffic from error recovery with a very large window may outweigh the efficiency gained by reduction of the effect of propagation delay.
Line Speeds and Performance 188 Eliminating Retransmission The most frequent cause of performance degradation in X.25 communications is the retransmission of rejected frames. Retransmission can be avoided by inserting a gap of processing time between frames. The size of the gap, measured in milliseconds, depends on your line speed. This gap between frames can be created by inserting flags. This is usually not possible unless you have your own X.25 switch and can configure this parameter.
Line Speeds and Performance 189 One flag is equal to 1 byte, or an interval of 125 microseconds (on a 64 kbps line). Therefore: 1.5 ÷ 0.
Appendix C User Facilities and DTE Address Structure T HIS APPENDIX DESCRIBES USER FACILITIES, AND THE DTE ADDRESS structure. User Facilities allow you to configure optional network services such as reverse charging, accessing a Closed User Group, and specifying a Network User Identification (NUI). Included in this appendix is an explanation of the structure of the called-DTE and callingDTE fields. The DTE address structure described here is based on CCITT Recommendation X.25 (1988).
User Facility Support 191 User Facility Support X.25 Facilities are encoded into the Facility field of the call request packet without any interpretation on the part of the program. This allows you to specify any optional User Facilities, except for the packet retransmission Facility and extended packet sequence numbering (modulo 128). The Facility field contains both Facility codes and their associated parameters. The code format varies since some Facilities may have one, two, or more parameters.
User Facility Support 192 Network User Identification (NUI): C6, NUIlength,NUI The first parameter after the Facility code specifies the length in bytes of the NUI. This is followed by the NUI itself in a format determined by the network administration. The following shows how to encode the seven-character NUI pass.id. C6,07,“pass.id” Flow Control Negotiation (packet size):42,insize,outsize Insize and outsize specify, respectively, the maximum length of incoming and outgoing packets.
User Facility Support 193 Examples of User Facilities The following are examples of User Facilities and their corresponding codes.
DTE Address Structure 194 DTE Address Structure This section describes the structure of the called-DTE and calling-DTE field. The DTE address structure described here is based on CCITT Recommendation X.25 (1988). To find out if your network differs from these specifications, or uses earlier versions of them, refer to your network manager. DNIC CCITT Recommendation X.121 defines a general address format which may be 12, 13, or 14 digits long.
DTE Address Structure 195 Examples of DTE Addresses The following are examples of the DTE Address structures. Example: SprintNet (Formerly Telenet) The SprintNet numbering plan is consistent with CCITT Recommendation X.121 and follows the address structure of a four-digit Data Network Identification Code (DNIC) followed by a Network Terminal Number (NTN).
DTE Address Structure 196 DATAPAC internal calls can use either the national address or the international address with the DATAPAC DNIC (3020). All international addresses, however, must be preceded by the digit 1 (this international prefix is a DATAPAC option and is not passed between networks). Note All international calls must select Priority Traffic Class. For more information, see “An Example of Non-CCITT Facilities” in this appendix.
