Selecting a channel interface for a controller

Open the Controller dialog by choosing Controller... from the Edit menu and selecting a controller from the resulting list, or by double-clicking on the controller in the configuration diagram. Select an interface from the controller and press the Connect... button to open the Select Connection Target(s) dialog. This dialog allows you to connect the controller channel interface to a target interface, such as a processor CHPID, switch port or crossbar control unit interface. The dialog leads to others which allow you to create any necessary logical definitions for the physical connection.

Note: You can also select multiple controller interfaces before pressing the Connect... button. This opens the Select Multiple Connection Target(s) dialog which allows you to establish several connections in one step. For information about how to use this dialog, refer to Connecting switches to processors or other switches.
