This panel allows you to configure SNA related features, such as the Central Site Control
Facility (CSCF), Central Site Change Management (CSCM), and APPN features.
Network ID
The Network ID is the name used in an SNA network that is using the SNA Network
Interconnection function. The ID must be the same network ID used in the VTAM NETID
start option. The same network ID must be used for every LINCS node in a given network.
The network ID can be up to eight alphanumeric characters, starting with an alphabetic
character, with no blanks between characters.
Note: This field is required when LINCS is configured for APPN or Central Site Change
Management.
APPN CP Name
Entering a CP name in this field defines the Control Point (CP) name of this APPN node, and
enables APPN to be configured.
The name can be up to 8 alphanumeric characters with no embedded spaces.
APPN PUID
This five hexadecimal digit field is used to form a unique Node Identifier. Some APPN nodes
use this as a security measure to allow connection, particularly SNA Switched Major Nodes
like the 37xx/VTAM composite APPN node. LINCS exchanges this identifier with adjacent
nodes, but does not use it to authorize connections.
The default value for this field is X’00000'. The fixed value of X’017' precedes it in the XID.
In the VTAM PU definition, the X’017' corresponds to the BLKID parameter in the PUmacro,
and the five configurable digits correspond to the NUMID parameter in the RUmacro.
