Specifies the local location address for this device.
Valid values range from 01 to FF.
Top |
Specifies whether this device is attached to a SNA pass-through host controller or to a SNA pass-through downstream (APPC) controller.
Specifies device to be attached to a SNA pass-through host controller.
Specifies device to be attached to a SNA pass-through downstream (APPC) controller.
Top |
Specifies whether this object is automatically varied on at initial program load (IPL).
This device is varied on automatically at IPL.
This device is not varied on automatically at IPL.
Top |
Specifies the name of the controller description to which this object is attached.
Top |
Specifies the amount of time (in seconds) to wait for the device to respond to the activation request from the host IBM i. If the device does not respond within this time, it is considered not available.
Note: This parameter is valid only on switched lines and when *SNPT is specified for the DEVCLS parameter.
Specifies the activate time of 170 seconds.
Specify a number ranging from 1 through 2550 indicating the number of seconds before the device is considered not available.
Top |
Specifies the name of the associated SNA pass-through device that is attached to a host or advanced program-to-program communications (APPC) controller.
No name is specified.
Specify the name of a device that is attached to a host or an APPC controller that is associated with this device.
Top |
Specifies the name configured for a group of host devices in a configuration list (see CRTCFGL command). This indicates that this device is associated with any one of the devices in that group which is available.
No name is specified.
Specify the name configured for a group of host devices that must be associated with this device.
Top |
Specifies the text that briefly describes the object.
Top |
Specifies the dependent local location name used for Dependent LU Requester (DLUR), providing additional security for the connection. If this name is filled in, an activation request (SNA ACTLU) from a Dependent LU Server (DLUS) node must reference this name or it is rejected.
Remote DLUS nodes may optionally accept unsolicited reply PSIDs (Product Set IDs) from the IBM i for auto-definition of LUs at the DLUS node. If so, then this name will be sent to the DLUS node in the reply PSID and it will be returned on the ACTLU request.
If unsolicited reply PSIDs are not supported by the DLUS node, then there will have to be close coordination of the PU name definitions on both systems.
No location name is defined.
Specify the dependent location name used for DLUR applications.
Top |
Specifies the authority you are giving to users who do not have specific authority for the object, who are not on an authorization list, and whose group profile or supplemental group profiles do not have specific authority for the object.
