Adding and Deleting Dynamic Connection Lines
If APPN Dynamic Connections are required on more than one line,
• PF4-Add_Conn adds up to 16 Dynamic Connection panels. Refer to the description of
the Virtual Routing Node to see why you may need more than one line for Dynamic
Connections.
• PF5-Del_Conn deletes a Dynamic Connection panel.
APPN Predefined Circuits
Links to Adjacent Nodes which will connect to this APPN Network Node can be pre-defined
on the APPN Predefined Circuits panel.
Circuits must be predefined for:
• LEN End Nodes which will use this APPN Network Node as their Network Node Server,
since these nodes cannot be located dynamically.
• ESCON/SNA, Channel/SNA, SDLC, and SDLC/DAP links.
LLC links to adjacent Network Nodes and End Nodes may optionally be predefined. It is
only necessary to define these links at one side of the link since the other side can learn about
adjacent nodes dynamically. See the Dynamic Circuits field on the APPN Dynamic Connections
panel for more information on Dynamic Circuits.
The number of APPN Circuits which may be defined varies depending upon the selected line.
Keep in mind that while counting APPN Circuits, the number of Dynamic Circuits defined on
the APPN Dynamic Connections panel(s) will be added in.
Examples are given for a Channel/SNA line, Frame Relay, Token Ring (LLC), and X.25.
