The lcs Device

To add an lcs (IBM OSA-2 Adapter) interface to the installed system, start

the YaST network card module (‘Network Devices’ ➝ ‘Network Card’). Se-

lect one of the devices marked ‘IBM OSA-2 Adapter’ and click ‘Conﬁgure’.

Enter the needed port number, some additional options (see the Linux for

zSeries and S/390: Device Drivers, Features, and Commands manual for refer-

ence), your IP address, and an appropriate netmask. Leave the network

conﬁguration with ‘Next’ and ‘Finish’.

The IUCV Device

To add an iucv (IUCV) interface to the installed system, start the YaST net-

work card module (‘Network Devices’ ➝ ‘Network Card’). Select a device

marked ‘IUCV’ and click ‘Conﬁgure’. YaST prompts you for the name of

your IUCV partner. Enter the name (this entry is case-sensitive) and select

‘Next’. Specify both your IP address and the IP address of your partner. If

needed, adjust the MTU size via ‘Advanced’ ➝ ‘Detailed Settings’. Leave

the network conﬁguration with ‘Next’ and ‘Finish’.

21.4.4 Modem

Note

S/390, zSeries: Modem

The conﬁguration of this type of hardware is not supported on

IBM S/390 and zSeries platforms.

Note

In the YaST Control Center, access the modem conﬁguration under ‘Net-

work Devices’. If your modem was not automatically detected, open the

dialog for manual conﬁguration. In the dialog that opens, enter the inter-

face to which the modem is connected under ‘Modem Device’.

If you are behind a private branch exchange (PBX), you may need to enter a

dial preﬁx. This is often a zero. Consult the instructions that came with the

PBX to ﬁnd out. Also select whether to use tone or pulse dialing, whether

the speaker should be on, and whether the modem should wait until it de-

tects a dial tone. The latter option should not be enabled if the modem is

connected to an exchange.
