Configuring the AM3270 and TR3271

Subsystems

The SCF objects used in configuration for either AM3270 or TR3271 are:

•

PROCESS. Process refers to the AM/TR I/O process. The PROCESS name is the

same as the line it controls.

•

DEVICE. Device refers to the AM/TR device/IOP added using WANMgr ADD

DEVICE command. All device-specific modifiers are given in the ADD DEVICE

command. To create the AM/TR process, use the START DEVICE command of the

WAN subsystem; the AM/TR process starts every time theWAN subsystem is

started.

The AM3270 DEVICE object (the line handler process) has the default file name

$SYSTEM.SYSnn.AM3SOBJ.

The TR3271 DEVICE object (the line handler process) has the default file name

$SYSTEM.SYSnn.TR3SOBJ.

•

PROFILE. PROFILE refers to the device-specific modifier set added to the

WANMgr using ADD PROFILE command. PROFILE consists of default device

modifiers and their values. The TR PROFILE is called PTR3PROF; the AM

PROFILE is called PAM3PROF.

•

LINE. LINE is the communication line controlled by the AM/TR I/O process. The

LINE name is assigned by WANMgr process ($ZZWAN) when you issue ADD

DEVICE and START DEVICE commands for an AM/TR device object. LINE names

must be unique in the system. A LINE name must be preceded by a dollar sign ($)

and consist of a maximum of seven alphanumeric characters; the first character

must be alphabetic.

Example: $TR3271 or $AM3270

•

SU. SU is an AM/TR subdevice (a terminal or printer). Each physical device

attached to an AM3270 or TR327 line is viewed as a subdevice on the

communication line. SUs are subordinate to lines. SU names identify specific

subdevices configured on a single LINE. Use the SCF ADD SU command to

assign an SU name to a LINE; use the SCF DELETE SU command to delete an

SU name. SU names must be unique within a single line. An SU name must be

preceded by a pound sign (#) and consist of a maximum of seven alphanumeric

characters; the first character must be alphabetic. An SU name must be qualified

with its LINE name.

Example: $TR3271.#TERM1 or $AM3270.#TERM2
