Device description (DEVD)
Specifies the name of the device description.
This is a required parameter.

Local location address (LOCADR)
Specifies the local location address for this device.
Valid values range from 01 to FF.
- *SAME
- The value does not change.
| Top |
Online at IPL (ONLINE)
Specifies whether this object is automatically varied on at initial program load (IPL).
- *SAME
- The value does not change.
- *YES
This device is varied on automatically at IPL.
- *NO
This device is not varied on automatically at IPL.
| Top |
Pacing value (PACING)
Specifies the SNA pacing value used for request/response units (RUs).
- *SAME
- The value does not change.
- pacing-value
Specify a value, ranging from 1 through 7.
| Top |
Maximum length of request unit (MAXLENRU)
Specifies the maximum request unit (RU) length allowed.
- *SAME
- The value does not change.
- *CALC
- The system calculates the value to use.
- maximum-length-request-unit
Specify 247, 256, 503, 512, 1015, or 1024 bytes as the maximum length for incoming request units.
| Top |
Application type (APPTYPE)
Specifies the application type used by this device.
- *SAME
- The value does not change.
- *OTHER
This device communicates with either HCP, if 01 is specified for the Local location address (LOCADR) parameter, or an application on the controller. *OTHER should always be specified when 01 is specified for the LOCADR parameter. For a 4684 controller, this parameter should not be specified if the LOCADR parameter is any value other than 01.
- *RCMS
This device communicates with the remote change management server (RCMS). *RCMS should only be specified for a 4680 or a 4684 controller. For a 4684 controller, *RCMS should be specified if the LOCADR parameter is any value other than 01.
- *SBMRTLPGM
This device is used with the Submit Retail Program (SBMRTLPGM) command to start a program on the retail controller using the ADCS SUP (Start User Program) support. This value is valid only when the Retail Point-of-Sale Communications Facility Licensed Program is being used on the controller. *SBMRTLPGM should not be specified for a 4684 controller.
| Top |
Activation timer (ACTTMR)
Specifies the amount of time (in seconds) to wait for the device to respond to the activation request from the host IBM i. If the device does not respond within this time, it is considered not available.
Note: This parameter is valid only on switched lines and when *SNPT is specified for the DEVCLS parameter.
- *SAME
- The value does not change.
- activation-timer
Specify a number ranging from 1 through 2550 indicating the number of seconds before the device is considered not available.
| Top |
Inactivity timer (INACTTMR)
Specifies, for devices connected using SNA pass-through support, a timeout value that measures the amount of time that the device is not bound to a host application. When the timeout value is exceeded, the session is ended.
- *SAME
- The value does not change.
- *NOMAX
No maximum inactivity time is tracked (no inactivity timer is to be enforced).
- *SEC15
A 15-second time-out period is used.
- *SEC30
A 30-second time-out period is used.
- inactivity-timer
Specifies a time-out value in minutes.
| Top |
