Specifies the
physical unit type represented by the PU definition statement.
Note:
- If you code LNCTL=CA on the GROUP definition statement, 1, 2, and 5 are the valid values for PUTYPE, and PUTYPE=5 is the default. The physical unit with PUTYPE=1 is valid only for those groups created specifically for physical serial optical channel (SOC) lines. The physical unit with PUTYPE=2 is a channel adapter used to communicate with a type 2.1 node. The physical unit with PUTYPE=5 is a host processor or VTAM node.
- If you code PUTYPE=4, DIAL=YES, and LNCTL=SDLC on the GROUP definition statement, the group is used for switched subarea connections.
- For a type 2.1 node, code PUTYPE=2 and XID=YES.
- For a non-switched frame relay PU (FRELAY=PHYSICAL), code PUTYPE=1 and XID=NO.
- If you code PUTYPE=5, and if LNCTL=CA, you must specify ISTATUS=INACTIVE on the LINE definition statement. If you specify ISTATUS=ACTIVE, the activation fails.
