Local Area Networks (LANs) and Wide Area
Networks (WANs)
Wide Area Network (WAN) Subsystem
The WAN subsystem is used to configure and manage both WAN and LAN
connectivity for the following communications subsystem objects:
•
AM3270 subsystem line-handler processes
•
ATP6100 subsystem line-handler processes
•
CP6100 subsystem line-handler processes
•
Envoy subsystem line-handler processes
•
EnvoyACP/XF subsystem line-handler processes
•
Expand subsystem network control process and line-handler processes
•
SNAX/APN subsystem service manager process and line-handler processes
•
SNAX/XF subsystem service manager process and line-handler processes
•
TR3271 subsystem line-handler processes
•
X25AM subsystem line-handler processes
These communications subsystem objects are defined as WAN subsystem devices
(DEVICE objects). You use the WAN Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) to create
DEVICE objects. Figure 2-5 shows the creation of an Expand line-handler process
DEVICE object.
