If you want to use a connection password that consists of characters whose hexadecimal value is less than 40, you must specify the password as a hexadecimal value. When less than 8 bytes are specified, the end of the password field is padded with blanks. A password of all blank is valid. All incoming call requests must match this password to establish a connection.

To specify a hexadecimal password, the digits must be specified in multiples of two, be no more than 16 digits long, be enclosed in apostrophes, and be preceded by an X. For example, X'0102030405' is a valid hexadecimal password.

Note: This connection password is highly recommended for controllers that operate with the Enhanced Logical Link Control (ELLC) protocol LINKPCL(*ELLC) on switched virtual circuit (SVC) connections. This enhanced protocol supports reconnection of virtual circuits after network errors which disconnect the line with a clear signal; however, this reconnection is not allowed to proceed without the password validation procedure being used as a unique identifier for the controller.

*BOTH

Both incoming and outgoing requests are accepted.

X.25 frame retry (X25FRMRTY)

Specifies the maximum number of times a frame is sent after the response timer ends when connected to this controller. The value for this parameter depends on the quality of service provided by the network and the connection to that network; that is, the frequency of lost link protocol data units.

7

The default for the maximum number of transmissions is 7.

X.25 frame retry

Specify a value ranging from 0 through 21 for the number of times a frame is sent.

X.25 connection retry (X25CNNRTY)

Specifies the maximum number of times that a logical link control (LLC) protocol data unit is sent after the connect response timer expires when connecting to this controller.

7

The default for the maximum number of transmissions is 7.

X.25 connection retry

Specify a value ranging from 0 through 21 for the number times a frame is sent.

X.25 response timer (X25RSPTMR)

Specifies the time period allowed to return an acknowledgement when an LLC protocol data unit is sent while connected to this controller.

100

The default amount of time is 10 seconds.

X.25 response-timer

Specify an amount of time in tenths of a second. Valid values range from 1 through 2550 in 0.1-second intervals.

X.25 connection timer (X25CNNTMR)

Specifies the time period allowed to return an acknowledgement when an LLC protocol data unit is sent while connecting to this controller.

100

The default amount of time is 10 seconds.

connection-timer

Specify an amount of time in tenths of a second. Valid values range from 1 through 2550 in 0.1 second intervals.

X.25 delayed connection timer (X25DLYTMR)

Specifies the time interval between attempts to establish a connection to the controller.

*CALC

Use the values specified for the X.25 connection timer (X25CNNTMR) parameter and the X.25 connection retry (X25CNNRTY) parameter to determine how often and how many times to try establishing the connection.

X.25-delay-timer

Specify a value ranging from 1 to 32767 units. Each unit represents 0.1 second. Connection attempts are repeated indefinitely at this time interval.

X.25 acknowledgement timer (X25ACKTMR)

Specifies the amount of time to delay sending acknowledgements for received frames.

20

The time allowed to delay sending an acknowledgment is 2 seconds.

X.25-acknowledgment-timer

Valid values range from 1 to 2550 in 0.1 second intervals, or 0 to indicate no delay.

X.25 inactivity timer (X25INACTMR)

Specifies the time period used to determine an inactive condition for the controller. Valid values range from 1 to 2550 in 0.1 second intervals.

350

The time period used to determine an inactive condition for the controller is 3.5 seconds.

User facilities (USRFCL)

Specifies a string of hexadecimal characters sent to the X.25 network to request additional services. The system allows up to 218 hexadecimal characters.

Recovery limits (CMNRCYLMT)

Specifies the number of recovery attempts made by the system before an inquiry message is sent to the system operator. Also specifies the time (in minutes) that must elapse before the system sends an inquiry message to the system operator indicating that the recovery attempt count limit is reached.

Element 1: Maximum Recovery Limit

2

Two recovery attempts are made within the interval specified.

*SYSVAL
The value in the QCMNRCYLMT system value is used.
count limit

Specify the number of second-level recovery attempts to be made. Valid values range from 0 through 99.

Element 2: Recovery Time Interval

5

The specified number of recovery attempts is made within a 5-minute interval.

time-interval

Specify the time interval (in minutes) at which the specified number of second-level recoveries are attempted. Valid values range from 0 through 120. If the value specified for count-limit is not 0, the value 0 specifies infinite recovery.

More information on communication recovery is in the Communcations Management book, SC41-5406.

Authority (AUT)

Specifies the authority you are giving to users who do not have specific authority for the object, who are not on an authorization list, and whose group profile or supplemental group profiles do not have specific authority for the object.

*CHANGE
The user can perform all operations on the object except those limited to the owner or controlled by object existence (*OBJEXIST) and object management (*OBJMGT) authorities. The user can change and perform basic functions on the object. *CHANGE authority provides object operational (*OBJOPR) authority and all data authority. If the object is an authorization list, the user cannot add, change, or remove users.
*ALL
The user can perform all operations except those limited to the owner or controlled by authorization list management (*AUTLMGT) authority. The user can control the object's existence, specify the security for the object, change the object, and perform basic functions on the object. The user also can change ownership of the object.
*USE
The user can perform basic operations on the object, such as running a program or reading a file. The user cannot change the object. Use (*USE) authority provides object operational (*OBJOPR), read (*READ), and execute (*EXECUTE) authorities.
*EXCLUDE
The user cannot access the object.
*LIBCRTAUT
The system determines the authority for the object by using the value specified for the Create authority (CRTAUT) parameter on the Create Library (CRTLIB) command for the library containing the object to be created. If the value specified for the CRTAUT parameter is changed, the new value will not affect any existing objects.
name
Specify the name of an authorization list to be used for authority to the object. Users included in the authorization list are granted authority to the object as specified in the list. The authorization list must exist when the object is created.

Examples

CRTCTLFNC   CTLD(FNC1)  TYPE(4701)  MODEL(0)  LINKTYPE(*SDLC)
            LINE(FNCLINE)  STNADR(C1)

This command creates a 4701 finance controller attached to a nonswitched SDLC line with a station address of C1.
