CP-CP Session Support

This field toggles to Disable or Enable to indicate whether or not CP-CP sessions are supported
on this circuit.

Note that CP-CP sessions are not supported for LEN End Nodes.

If CP-CP sessions are supported for adjacent Network Nodes, the link will automatically be
restarted if it is stopped using the Circuit Status utility on the APPN menu.

Remote DTE Address

Used for X.25 APPN Predefined circuits, the Remote DTE Address is up to fifteen
decimal digits.

Line

The Line toggle field will allow for selection of the Line ID for the current APPN circuit.
Lines which are allowed are those configured with the following protocols:

• ESCON/SNA

• Channel/SNA

• SDLC (only on HSC boards)

• SDLC/DAP (only on HSC boards)

• LLC

Link Profile

A Link Profile must be specified to define the link characteristics for this circuit. Keep in
mind that the TG Characteristics to be associated with this circuit are defined in the Link
Profile.

CU Index

The CU Index refers back to the ESCON CU index that the APPN definition is using for this
connection. The CU referred to must be using ‘SNA’ or ‘SNA with Channel Path Filter’ as its
protocol.

PU Address

This field will be displayed when the selected Link Profile is configured for Channel/SNA,
SDLC or SDLC/DAP. It allows for the definition of the PU 2.1 PU Address for this circuit.

Local SAP

This field is displayed when the selected Link Profile is configured for LLC. It allows for the
definition of the local SAP used to communicate with this APPN circuit.

Note that the local LAN address is defined on the Line options panel.

Secondary Station Address

Used for X.25 circuits, the Secondary Station Address is a two digit hex number, provided by
the host systems programmer. It is the X.25 term for SNA PU address, as seen at the SNA
host. Make sure that the PU address you enter is unique for this line.
