Local Device Configuration Parameters

The Local Device Configuration window (Figure A-7) contains several

parameters that allow you to define the SDLC devices that you want to appear as

natively attached to the LAN. When you define such devices, you map the devices

to LAN MAC and SAP addresses.

Parameter: DLSw Mode

Path:

Configuration Manager > Protocols > DLSw > Local Devices

Default: Primary

Options: Primary

| Secondary PP | Secondary MP | Negotiable

Function: Specifies the type of link station you are configuring on this node. A primary

link station controls a data link, issues commands, polls secondary stations, and

initiates error recovery procedures. Only one link station on an SDLC line can

be the primary station; all other stations on the line must be secondary. When

configured as a primary SDLC link station, the router communicates with

downstream PU 2.0, PU 2.1, and PU 4 nodes. PU 4 nodes support multipoint

configurations only.

A secondary link station receives commands and responds to primary link

station polls. When configured as a secondary SDLC link station, the router

emulates a PU 2.0 or PU 4 node. PU 4 nodes support multipoint configurations

only.

When configured as a negotiable SDLC link station, the router supports

connections to PU 4 devices.

Instructions: Click on Values and select Primary, Secondary PP (point-to-point), Secondary

MP (multipoint), or Negotiable.
