Field Definitions for Host Circuit Panels
Note: All fields do not appear on all panels.
3270 Host Profile
Toggle to the desired 3270 host profile.
Connection ID Password
The password can be up to eight hexadecimal digits, with embedded spaces allowed.
Data Link ID
The Data Link ID fields are used in conjunction with the IP Address field to uniquely identify
a TCP/IP Host Circuit. These fields uniquely identify incoming TCP/IP frames from other
host or gateway circuits. This address combination must be unique throughout the network.
The data link ID fields require data to be entered in the canonical format for Token Ring, and
the non-canonical format for Ethernet, of a LAN Address and a SAP.
The Data Link ID field of this host circuit must match the Remote Data Link ID defined in the
downstream connection of the corresponding gateway circuit on the gateway controller.
The Remote IP Address indicates the remote device, and the Remote Data Link ID identifies
the specific circuit on the remote device. If the upstream connection of the corresponding
upstream node’s gateway circuit is LLC, the Remote LAN Address and the Remote SAP used
to define the upstream gateway connection must match the Remote Data Link ID of this host
circuit. If the upstream connection of the corresponding gateway circuit is TCP/IP, the Remote
Data Link ID used to define the upstream gateway connection must match the Remote Data
Link ID of this host circuit. Otherwise, the Data Link ID field defined on the downstream
connection of the corresponding upstream node’s gateway circuit must match the Remote
Data Link ID of this host circuit.
DLCI on Frame Relay Host Circuit
The DLCI is the address of the Frame Relay PVC that will be used to connect to this host
(circuit). The valid range for DLCIs is from 16 to 991 (decimal), with no default.
The combination of local SAP, remote SAP, and DLCI must be unique for all circuits defined
on a Frame Relay line.
Host DTE Address
Enter up to 15 decimal digits for the DTE address of this host.
Host Identifier
This is an optional 16 byte field which is used to identify the host circuit. If defined, it may be
used to identify a host when attempting a connection to a specific host circuit. This name will
also appear on Configuration panels (and any other LINCS Central Control panels) which
display host circuits. It is also the identifier that is displayed on the status line of devices that
use a device profile with the status line field enabled.
If no Host Identifier is defined, the host circuit letter (A-P) will appear on the panels which
display host circuits.
