Specifies the locally administered address for the token-ring interface coupler (TIC). The value of LOCADD must specify an address among all the local and remote token-rings to which this TIC is connected. LOCADD is required when you specify physical resources on the GROUP definition statement.
Use the following format when coding LOCADD:
LOCADD=cccccccccccc- cccccccccccc
- is the last 6 bytes of the terminal’s ring-station address
(the first digit must be in the range 4–7). The address must
consist of 12 hexadecimal digits that range from X'4000 0000 0000' to X'7FFF
FFFF FFFF' using the following rules.
- If bytes 0 and 1 are equal to either X'4000' or X'7FFF' then bytes 2 through 5 must be unique on the network.
- If bytes 0 and 1 are in the address range X'4001' through X'7FFE' then bytes 0 through 5 must be unique on the network.
A locally administered medium access control (MAC) address coded for LOCADD cannot have the same value as that specified on the ADDR operand on the PU definition statement. See NCP, SSP, and EP Resource Definition Reference for additional information.
