4. Link Profiles
The Link Profile panels will be displayed if Gateway or 3270 Host circuits have been enabled
on the General Options panel. Link Profiles contain link level information required when
assigning gateway circuits, LU to PU mapped circuits, 3270 host circuits, and APPN Link
Stations. These profiles can be used for the upstream and/or the downstream connections of
the gateway circuits. Note that on the SCON platforms, the Link Profile is always predefined
as ESCON/Non-SNA and cannot be changed, so the Link Profile panel is not displayed.
A Link Profile may be shared by gateway, LU to PU Mapping profiles, and 3270 host circuits
with the same link level. Link Profiles may be created for the following:
• ESCON/SNA, ESCON/CNC, ESCON/Non-SNA
• Channel/SNA, Channel/CTC, Channel/Non-SNA
• BSC
• SDLC and SDLC/DAP
• X.25
• LLC
• TCP/IP
• IP/Bridge
Note that you may enter a parameter when accessing this panel, to specify which profile you
wish to access. The parameter can be the name of the profile, or the number of the profile.
The first time you configure LINCS, LINCS will create one default link profile for each valid
protocol enabled on the Line Options panels. If more than one link profile is desired for a particular
protocol, it is necessary to press the PF4-Add function on one of the Link Profile panels.
ESCON/SNA Link Profile
This profile is used to support all channel SNA connections including host circuits, SNA
gateway circuits, and APPN ESCON circuits.
