LU 6.2 API/XL Installation Guidelines

Pre-Installation Tasks

Before you install LU 6.2 API/XL on the HP 3000 you must do the

following:

1. Ensure that the remote system has all the required hardware and

software listed under “Remote System Requirements,” later in this

appendix.

2. Ensure that the modem link operates between the HP 3000 and the

remote system. If you use HP modems, Hewlett-Packard will help

you verify that these modems work.

3. Conﬁgure a remote PU and terminal to the remote system using

Hewlett-Packard's recommended parameters. You may have to make

system generation changes to ACF/NCP, ACF/VTAM, and

application subsystems running under ACF/VTAM. To connect to an

AS/400, you may have to modify the AS/400 conﬁguration. For more

information on host conﬁguration, consult the following manuals:

HP SNA Products: Manager’s Guide

HP SNA Products: ACF/VTAM and ACF/NCP Guide

HP SNA Products: CICS Guide

HP SNA Products: AS/400 Guide

Obtain a copy of the remote system conﬁguration. You will need this

information later during LU 6.2 API conﬁguration.

4. Ensure that SNA/SDLC Link/XL or SNA/X.25 Link/XL has been

installed correctly.

5. Ensure that your HP 3000 is at the proper release level to run

LU 6.2 API/XL.
