Inactivity Timer - LLC Options
The Inactivity Timer field is used to determine how often a poll frame is sent for inactive
links. Valid entries range from 10 to 255 seconds. The default is 30 seconds.
Retry Count- LLC
This field indicates the maximum number of times the LAN adapter transmits a checkpointing
poll following the T1 response time expiration. Valid counts range from 01-99. The default is 7.
Link Subsystem Name
The field allows you to assign a name to identify the subsystem in alerts that are sent to the
host (for example, SNA alerts). You can use the default value VISARALAN or assign a 6-
digit alphanumeric non-blank name.
LU to PU Mapping Circuits
This decimal number indicates the number of LU to PU mapped LLC circuits supported on
this line. In addition, 3270 Host Circuits must be configured to use this option.
LU to PU Mapping Local SAP
Enter a two digit number that is a multiple of 4, ranging from 4 to EC (hex).
If LANSYS connections are enabled on this line, SAP 98 (hex) is not valid for this field.
If IPX is enabled on this line, SAP E0 (hex) is not valid for this field.
The value entered in this field may not match any of the local SAPs configured on the APPN
link stations for this line.
This field will be ignored if no LU to PU Mapping circuits have been configured.
IP Address
This is the IP address for the line. It should follow the rules for IP addresses, which your
system administrator can give you. If this address is connected to the Internet as controlled by
the NIC, bear in mind that users can connect to LINCS by the IP address you give it. Design
your host’s connection to the Internet with this in mind.
Subnet Mask
This is the subnet mask that LINCS will use for the IP address entered. If no subnet mask is
entered, but a default router is defined, LINCS will automatically obtain the subnet mask
from the router. If no subnet mask and no default router are defined, LINCS will assume the
default subnet mask based on the class of the IP address being used.
TELNET Host Connections
A valid number of host connections is 0 to 128.
TELNET Host Connections enable attached devices (direct or LAN attached) to communicate
with LAN-attached ASCII Host computers. This field indicates the number of sessions which
may be concurrently connected to an ASCII Hosts running TELNET.
