Configure SNA Connectivity
If you plan to use SNA network communications connectivity with Connect:Direct®, install and configure SNA before installing Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows. Use the SNA Configuration Worksheet to identify the parameters necessary to configure SNA.
In addition, create an active connection between the local and remote nodes. Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows requires the following information for the local and remote SNA networks in order to configure a peer- or host-based partner SNA connection:
- Network name
- Mode name (local system only)
- Control point name
- Node ID
- Network address (remote system only)
- LU name and LU alias name (these names may be the same value; Connect:Direct uses the LU alias name)
Note: Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows supports only independent LU6.2.
Refer to the SNA Server/Host Configuration Worksheet when mapping SNA connection parameters between Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows and a host system.
Note: Consult the SNA product documentation or contact your SNA vendor for any questions about configuring the SNA communications software.
