Specifies whether adjacent link station names must match an entry in the default adjacent link station list of the independent LU at a session request.

If you do not code ALSREQ, the value coded on the ALSREQ start option is used.

ALSREQ=NO: Specifies that an adjacent link station name does not have to match an entry in the default adjacent link station list of the independent LU at a session request.
ALSREQ=YES: Specifies that an adjacent link station name must match an entry in the default adjacent link station list of the independent LU at a session request.

If the adjacent link station names are required, only session requests over an adjacent link station which matches one of the adjacent link stations in the list are allowed. An APPN adjacent link station matches any APPN adjacent link stations in the list (including ISTAPNPU). A LEN adjacent link station matches only an adjacent link station in the list that has the same name.

If adjacent link station names are not required, any adjacent link station can receive a session request for this LU. Furthermore, if the adjacent link station is LEN, its name is automatically added to the adjacent link station list for the independent LU. If the adjacent link station is APPN, the generic APPN adjacent link station name (ISTAPNPU) is automatically added to the adjacent link station list for the independent LU instead of the real adjacent link station name.
