APPC: Select Mode Type Screen
You configure mode types through the “APPC: Select Mode Type”
screen, shown in Figure 4-11, and the “APPC: Mode Type Data” screen,
shown in Figure 4-12. A mode type determines the following four
characteristics of a session type:
1. The maximum size of RUs sent by the local LU.
2. The maximum size of RUs received by the local LU.
3. The maximum number of RUs that the local LU can send before it
receives a response from the remote LU.
4. The maximum number of RUs that the local LU can receive before it
must send a response to the remote LU.
