SDLC

Complete this worksheet to support connectivity using the SDLC link protocol.

Motif Field	Valid Entry/Notes	Your Implementation Value
SDLC Port Dialog
`SNA port name`	Up to 8 characters
`SDLC card number`	`0` to `number_of_cards_minus_1`
`Port number`	`0` to `number_of_ports_on_card_minus_1`
`Initially active`	Select if needed
Line Details
`Type`	`Leased line` `Switched outgoing` `Switched incoming`
`Link role`	`Negotiable` `Primary` `Primary multi-drop` `Secondary` `Secondary multi-PU`
For switched incoming or leased line:
`Poll address`	Only for nonprimary, switched incoming ports On a VTAM host, the poll address is configured as the `ADDR=` parameter in the VTAM PU definition. On an AS/400 system, the poll address is the `STNADR` parameter of the Line Description.

SDLC Link Station Dialog
Link station fields
`Name`	Up to 8 characters
`SNA port name`	Up to 8 characters
`Activation`	`By administrator` `On node startup` `On demand`
`LU traffic`	`Any` `Independent only` `Dependent only`
Independent LU traffic
`Remote node`	`NETNAME.CPNAME` (each 1-8 type A EBCDIC characters; optional) If the remote system is a VTAM host, you can find the network name (the first eight characters of the fully qualified name) in the `NETID` parameter of the VTAM start list. The last eight characters are in the `SSCPNAME` parameter of the VTAM start list.
`Remote node type`	`Discover` `Network node` `End or LEN node`
Dependent LU traffic
`Remote node role`	`Host` `Downstream (SNA Gateway)` `Downstream (DLUR)`
`Local node ID`	8 hexadecimal digits (defaults to node name) In a VTAM configuration, the first three digits should match the `IDBLK` parameter in the PU definition, and the last five should match the `IDNUM` parameter. On an AS/400 system, the node ID is configured in the `EXCHID` parameter.
`Remote node ID`	8 hexadecimal digits (optional)
`Downstream PU name`	1-8 type A EBCDIC characters
`Upstream DLUS name`	`NETNAME.LUNAME` (each 1-8 type A EBCDIC characters)
Contact information
`Poll address`	For switched incoming ports, only configured on the port. 2 hexadecimal digits: `C1` for point-to-point `0xFF` for primary switched outgoing (destination address unknown) Unique addresses for primary to multi-drop On a VTAM host, the poll address is configured as the `ADDR=` parameter in the VTAM PU definition. On an AS/400 system, the poll address is the `STNADR` parameter of the Line Description.
