Before Using the X.25 Link Data Screen
The PVC or SVC that SNA/X.25 Link is going to use must have already
been defined in the X.25 System Access configuration and the DTC
Manager configuration or the DTS configuration. Before configuring the
X.25 link parameters and virtual circuit data on the screen shown in
Figure 2-8, “X.25 Link Data Screen,” the following tasks must be
performed.
For an SNA/X.25 PVC:
• Configured a logical channel identifier (LCI) range in the DTC
Manager configuration or the DTS configuration. The PVC Number
you specify on the screen shown in Figure 2-8, “X.25 Link Data
Screen,” the screen must be within the LCI range you configured.
• Configured a network interface (NI) for the SNA/X.25 PVC in the
X.25 System Access configuration. The value you specify for NS
Network Interface Name on the screen shown in Figure 2-8, “X.25
Link Data Screen,” must match the NI name you configured.
