Summary of Configuration Steps
Summary of Configuration Steps
After all hardware and software requirements have been met (see Required Hardware
and Software on page 7-2 for details), configuring and starting a single-line direct-
connect or satellite-connect line-handler process involves these steps:
Step 1: Find an Available WAN Line
A direct-connect or satellite-connect line-handler process is configured to use an
available WAN line on a SWAN concentrator. You can use the WAN subsystem SCF
STATUS ADAPTER command to find an available WAN line on a SWAN concentrator
attached to your server. Available lines are indicated by the word FREE in the
command display.
Example 7-1 on page 7-6 shows an example of a SCF STATUS ADAPTER command.
In the example, an available line is indicated on line 1 of communications l
ine interface
processor (CLIP) 1 on the SWAN concentrator named S01. This information is shown
in boldface type.
Step Tool Used
Step 1: Find an Available WAN Line SCF interface to the WAN
subsystem
Step 2: Create a Profile for the Line-Handler Process SCF interface to the WAN
subsystem
Step 3: Create the Line-Handler Process SCF interface to the WAN
subsystem
Step 4: Start the Line-Handler Process SCF interface to the WAN
subsystem
Step 5: Start the Line SCF interface to the Expand
subsystem
Note. The SCF command syntax shown in this section is
the syntax used to configure direct-
connect and satellite-connect line-handler processes; it is not meant to show the complete
syntax of the SCF commands described. For more information, see these manuals:
•
WAN Subsystem Configuration and Management Manual for WAN subsystem SCF
commands
•
Section 14, Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) Commands, for Expand subsystem SCF
commands
Note. This procedure assumes that a SWAN concentrator has been installed, configured, and
st
arted and has an available WAN line.
