Sample NCP definition statements for token-ring connection

The following sample shows some of the NCP definition statements that are used in one NCP to define a token-ring connection between two NCP subarea nodes. Define both the physical connection and the logical connection as nonswitched links. Therefore, in contrast to a peripheral node connection, you do not define a VTAM® switched major node for a subarea node token-ring connection.

You can also specify that a token-ring logical group is for a frame-relay connection by coding ECLTYPE=(LOGICAL,FRELAY). This provides a private frame-relay network over the token-ring connections without configuring additional physical lines.
