The symbol preceding
the period specifies the name of an SNA network and the symbol following
the period specifies the name of an LU within that network. For ISPF
C/S communications you need to know the fully qualified network name
of an independent SNA LU type 6.2 associated with the workstation
on which the ISPF WSA graphical
user interface is to be displayed. The LU type 6.2 is required by
the SNA communications software to support APPC connections to the
workstation. for information about installation and customization
of the SNA APPC software used on your workstation consult the documentation
supplied by your software vendor. If you have already installed SNA
APPC communications software on your workstation and you do not know
the fully qualified network name of an independent SNA LU type 6.2
you can identify a candidate name as follows:If you have this SNA APPC workstation software | do this on the workstation |

From the "IBM APPC Networking Services" program group select the icon for the Configure program item. Select the Step 1 pushbutton from the Networking Services Configuration window. The fully qualified local LU name for APPC communications will appear in the General Configuration window. |
A VTAM application LU must be defined in VTAMLST to match the definition in APPCPMxx. Both the label of the APPL statement and the ACBNAME= parameter value must be identical to the value specified for the ACBNAME parameter on the LUADD statement for the APPC/MVS LU defined in MVS parmlib member APPCPMxx.
A logical connection called a session must exist between the LU associated with the ISPF C/S agent on the MVS host and the LU associated with the ISPF WSA agent on the workstation to support APPC communication. To establish a session the LU on the MVS host must send a set of session control parameters called a bind to the LU on the workstation. The parameters are selected based on a mode definition. The ISPF C/S agent on MVS uses the #INTER definition, which is located in the IBM-supplied default VTAM mode table ISTINCLM. The #INTER mode definition is also included among the default definitions supplied by the supported APPC communications software for workstations.
The VTAM node definition for the independent LU used by APPC Networking services for Windows cannot be the same VTAM node definition used for your native or emulated 3270 terminal support. A single node definition cannot be shared by APPC Networking Services for Windows and your 3270 terminal support. Likewise, if you are using a 3270 emulator on the Windows system on which you intend to use APPC Networking Services for Windows you must ensure that different local SNA service access point (SAP) addresses are used by the 3270 emulator and by APPC Networking Services for Windows.
To change the local SAP address for APPC Networking Services for Windows, select the icon for the Configure program item from the IBM APPC Networking Services program group. Select the Step 2 pushbutton from the Networking Services Configuration window, then select Advanced from the LAN Configuration window. The local SAP can be changed on the Advanced LAN Configuration window.
