SNA Node and Link Configuration
Configuring the SNA Node and Link
SNA/X.25 SVC, the X.25 Address you specified in the
“X.25 SVC Address Key Paths” screen must be the
same as the address you specify in this field. See Figure
2-8 for an example.
Call Direction
Conditionally required. Enter IN if the HP 3000 will
wait for the remote system to request a connection
(incoming direction); OUT if the HP 3000 will initiate
the connection (outgoing direction).
If you specify OUT, you might need to specify the
Maximum Call Retries and Call Retry Delay fields.
These fields are described below.
This field is required
only if SVC is entered for the
Virtual Circuit Type field.
NOTE Only one incoming SVC is supported per system.
Values: IN and OUT
Recommended value: OUT
Default: OUT
Host Configuration:
• If you are configuring an outgoing SVC, at least one
X25.LINE host macro must specify CALL=IN and you
must enter OUT in this field.
• If you are configuring an incoming SVC, at least one
X25.LINE host macro must specify CALL=OUT and
you must enter IN in this field.
•IfCALL=INOUT is specified in at least one X25.LINE
host macro,
either IN or OUT can be specified in this
field.
Maximum Call Retries
Conditionally required. The maximum number of times
the QLLC module will try to connect to the remote
system without success. If 0 is specified, the QLLC
module will not retry if the first attempt to connect
fails.
This field is required
only if SVC is entered for the
Virtual Circuit Type field.
If you specify a value greater than 0, you must also
specify the Call Retry Delay field.
