Upstream Connection
The upstream connection indicates in the direction of the host.
Connection ID Password
Some X.25 connections require a password. The password can be up to eight hexadecimal
digits, with embedded spaces allowed.
DLCI
The Data Link Connection Identifier (DLCI) is the address of the PVC used to connect this
LINCS node to the Frame Relay network. It should be provided by your Frame Relay service
provider when you arrange for your connection.
This field also appears for downstream connections, when the downstream PUs are on the
other side of a Frame Relay network.
Host DTE Address
Enter up to 15 decimal digits for the DTE address of this X.25 host (for an upstream connection),
or the X.25 attached downstream node. X.25 is allowed for either upstream or downstream
connections.
Before allowing incoming calls, the Host DTE address is checked for a match with a circuit.
If a circuit is found with the DTE address, then the Connection ID Password is checked. If
there is a match, then incoming call is accepted. LINCS then sends a QXID to the station, and
uses the response to determine if the call should be allowed or dropped.
Line for Upstream Connection
Toggle to the desired host line on which the data for this gateway circuit originates.
Link Profile for Upstream Connection
Toggle to the desired Link Profile number. The specified profile indicates the link type of the
upstream connection of this circuit.
Local SAP
Enter a 2-digit hex SAP address. This is the SAP address of LINCS node for this gateway
circuit. Valid SAP addresses are multiples of 4, ranging from 4 to EC (hex). If Incoming
LANSYS Connections are enabled on this line, SAP 98 (hex) is reserved, and must not be
used for gateway circuits. SAP E0 (hex) is reserved for IPX, and must not be used for
gateway circuits.
PU Address
Enter a 2-digit hex number for the PU address of this LINCS node for this Gateway Circuit,
ensuring that the address you enter is unique for this line. The systems programmer at the host
site will supply the necessary address from the host or FEP gen.
