Configuring BSC Batch

Introduction

The SmartSwitch 1800 supports ports configured for BSC (binary synchronous com-
munication) Batch, which interconnects IBM 2780/3780 devices over frame relay or
X.25.

Required Configuration

To run BSC Batch in a SmartSwitch 1800, make sure the following are properly con-
figured:

●

Node parameters

(Chapter 4). This is general configuration that must be done

no matter which protocols will be run in the node.

●

Loaded protocols

(Chapter 5): BSC Batch, as well as frame relay or X.25 if BSC

will be transported over one of those.

●

Frame relay

(Chapter 7) or

X.25

(Chapter 8) port(s) that will connect to a

network or frame relay PVC.

●

Logical X.25

(Chapter 8), if BSC will be encapsulated for transmission over

frame relay.

●

BSC Batch port(s)

(page 11-2) that will connect to the user devices.

●

Subscriber IDs

(page 11-8), which identifiy user devices to each other and the

SmartSwitch.
