Task 2: Add The DEVICE
You can view the contents of the PROFILE using the INFO PROFILE command. For
more details on PROFILE, please refer to Section 3, Configuring the AM3270 and
TR3271 Subsystems.
Task 2: Add The DEVICE
DEVICE is the SCF object name given to the line handler, the process used to control
transmission of information on a single communications line. Use the ADD DEVICE
command to configure your line handler process with the modifiers in the PROFILE.
The following example adds one DEVICE, named #AM3.
ADD DEVICE $ZZWAN.#AM3, CPU 2, ALTCPU 3, PROFILE PAM3PROF, &
IOPOBJECT $SYSTEM.SYS00.AM3SOBJ, TYPE (60,10), RECSIZE 120,&
ADAPTER SWAN28, CLIP 2, LINE 0
To review all the parameters used in this example command, consult the ADD DEVICE
Command in Section 3, Configuring the AM3270 and TR3271 Subsystems.
Task 3: Start The DEVICE
Use the START DEVICE command to start the line handler(s).
START DEVICE $ZZWAN.#AM3
You can read more about the START DEVICE command in START DEVICE Command
in Section 3, Configuring the AM3270 and TR3271 Subsystems.
Task 4: Add The Subdevices (SU)
Once the AM3270 or TR3271 line handler process has been started, add subdevices
to that line by issuing SCF commands to the line handler.
Subdevices are objects such as terminals or printers attached to a particular
communications line. Use ADD SU command to add a subdevice. You must also
specify the characteristics of the subdevice along with the ADD SU command.
This example adds the subdevice #TERM1 to the LINE $AM3.
ADD SU $AM3.#TERM1, PROTOCOL CRT, RECSIZE 2048, &
ADDRESS (25,6), TYPE (10,2)
You can read more about the subdevice in Subdevice Access in Section 3, Configuring
the AM3270 and TR3271 Subsystems.
This is the end of the quick start, Section 3, Configuring the AM3270 and TR3271
Subsystems contains details that may help your understanding. The information on
SCF commands is also contained in Section 4, SCF Interface to AM3270 and TR3271.
