Adding DEVICE Objects That Use the WAN Ports
Adding DEVICE Objects That Use the WAN
Ports
After the SWAN concentrator is configured, you can configure the six WAN ports on
the SWAN concentrator or twelve WAN ports on the SWAN 2 concentrator. To
configure a WAN port, you must add one or more PROFILE objects (using the SCF
ADD PROFILE command) along with one DEVICE object (using the SCF ADD
DEVICE command) for each line that is needed.
Configuring Subsystem-Specific Characteristics
Each data communications subsystem object is defined with its own subsystem-
specific characteristics that the object will use when started. For example, the Expand
network control process ($NCP) can specify the number of connection requests that
can be outstanding on each Expand path from an Integrity NonStop NS-series or
NonStop S-series server.
Related characteristics for each type of data-communications subsystem object are
provided in object files that are shipped on the site update tape (SUT). For example, to
configure an ATP6100 line that supports an HP 6401 terminal, HP provides an object
file named $SYSTEM.SYSnn.PATP6401. Each item within an object file is defined as a
modifier and might have an associated value. Some of the modifiers have default
values.
You first use the SCF ADD PROFILE command to define an object file within the
configuration database. You then make the PROFILE available for use by the data-
communications subsystem object by including the PROFILE name as an attribute in
the SCF ADD DEVICE command.
This manual does not describe the configuration requirements for the DEVICE objects
of each data-communications subsystem. See the manuals listed in Table 2-2 on
page 2-2 to understand product-specific requirements and the modifiers that are
included in each object file.
Defining PROFILE Objects
1. Define a WAN subsystem PROFILE object by issuing the ADD PROFILE
command, specifying an object file name as shown in Example 4-9.
2. Define a WAN subsystem PROFILE object by issuing the ADD PROFILE
command with the LIKE attribute. In this case, rather than specifying an object file
name, you specify the name of a previously created PROFILE. You can define the
Example 4-9. Defining a PROFILE Object
ADD PROFILE $ZZWAN.#my_term, FILE $SYSTEM.SYS00.PATP6530
