Switched major node for line 1092 from NCP A31

In this sample of a switched major node residing on the A02N node, the CPNAME operand on the PU definition statement specifies A81N as the control point name of a type 2.1 peripheral node. The CPNAME operand must be used for a switched connection, when the type 2.1 peripheral node is a VTAM®.

Code a PATH definition statement in the switched major node to allow VTAM to establish the connection to the token-ring-attached peripheral node. In this sample, the NTRIPTH PATH statement specifies for the DIALNO operand the value 0204400000003135, where

02 is the token-ring interface coupler (TIC) number of the communication controller
04 is the service access point (SAP) address of the terminal
400000003131 are the last 6 bytes of the terminal's ring-station address

DIALNO is required if the physical unit is used as a dial-out physical unit.

Because a dial-out connection will be made to the PU associated with this PATH definition statement, the GRPNM operand is required. The name coded for the GROUP definition statement in the NCP major node must match the GRPNM operand on the PATH definition statement in the switched major node. Therefore, by specifying GRPNM=A04BNNG1, you are restricting the users that can dial into your system to the users in the group A04BNNG1.
