Check Communication with Other SNA Nodes

To check communication with other SNA nodes, check the following:

Step 1. Check that links to other SNA nodes have been established.

• If you are using the Motif administration program:

Step 1. Check that the port that you are trying to use is marked as active.

Step 2. Check that the link station that you are trying to use is marked as

active. The time at which the link station should be activated depends on

the following conﬁguration values:

— Initially

The link station is activated when the node is started.

— Operator

The link station is activated by the operator. (This may be a

snapadmin start_ls command located in a startup shell script).

— Incoming

The link station is started from a remote node. Check that the

remote node has attempted to start the link station.

— On demand

The link station is started only when required by an application or

terminal emulator. (In this case it is still possible to override this

in order to test the LS by starting the LS explicitly, as described

below.)

• If you are using the command-line administration program display

the status by entering the snapadmin status_connectivity

command. Refer to the HP-UX SNAplus2 Administration Command

Reference for more information about issuing this command.

The output from the snapadmin status_connectivity command

shows the ports displayed on the Motif interface window grouped
