Task 4: Add the Expand Line-Handler Process

The Expand subsystem supports a variety of different protocols and communications

methods to enable you to connect systems together in local area network (LAN) and

wide area network (WAN) topologies. These types of Expand line-handler processes

can be configured:

•

Direct-connect

•

Satellite-connect

•

Expand-over-IP

•

Expand-over-ATM

•

Expand-over-X.25

•

Expand-over-SNA

•

Expand-over-ServerNet

You can configure an Expand line-handler process to manage a single line Expand

line-handler process, or you can configure a multi-line path. A multi-line path can

contain up to eight parallel lines. You can also configure an Expand line-handler

process to be part of a multi-CPU path.

Creating a Single-Line Expand Line-Handler Process

This subsection explains how to create a single-line Expand line-handler process. If

you want to create a multi-line path, see Creating a Multi-Line Path on page 1-15.

Satellite-Connect and Direct-Connect Line-Handler

Processes

To create a single-line satellite-connect or direct-connect line-handler process, perform

these steps:

1. Find an available WAN line on a SWAN concentrator attached to your server.

-> STATUS ADAPTER $ZZWAN.#*, SUB ALL

Available lines are indicated in the resulting display by the word FREE in the

command display. Example 1-1 on page 1-7 shows a STATUS ADAPTER display.

An available line is indicated on line 1 of CLIP 1 o

n the SWAN concentrator named

S01. This information is shown in boldface type.

Note. How to configure a single-line Expand line-handler process to be part of a multi-CPU

path is described in Step 6.
