Configuring the VSID, HSID, and AML prompts
When you are configuring the Meridian 1, you will encounter the VSID,
HSID, and AML prompts in LD17, LD15 and LD23. If you are adding
Meridian Link or CCR to an IPE Module or an Application Module to
create a co-resident system, you should understand what these prompts
mean to avoid confusion.
A Value-Added Service Identifier (VAS ID) is a number ranging from 0
through 15 that identifies a link as an Application Module Link (AML). A
Meridian 1 system with a single IPE Module or Application Module, used
for Meridian Link or CCR or both, has only one AML and so requires only
one VAS ID. A Meridian 1 system with two modules (two Application
Modules, two IPE Modules, or one of each), with Meridian Link activated
in one module and CCR activated in another, requires two AMLs, and so
requires two different VAS IDs. The system with two modules requires the
Host Service Identifier (HSID) to identify the AML that is connected to the
module that has Meridian Link activated.
The following four examples describe how the prompts are used.
¥ A Meridian 1 with a single IPE Module or Application Module with
either Meridian Link or CCR (but not both) activated:
Ñ VSID prompt (LD17) Enter a value to define the VAS ID to be
associated with the AML.
Ñ AML prompt (LD17) Enter the ESDI or MSDL port number to be
associated with the VAS ID.
Ñ VSID prompt (LD15) Enter the value from the VSID prompt in
LD17.
Ñ VSID prompt (LD23) Enter the value from the VSID prompt in
LD17.
Ñ HSID prompt (LD23) Do not enter a value.
