CPA Vs 3745 (XCA and Lan token-ring virtual)

[francis.godin]

In my new architecture network, I will use the function of the lan

Token Ring to establish connections sscp-to-sscp. In my case I have 14

MVS which dialogues today via a 3746/9x0, how I must code node XCA of

a partition which must communicate with the 13 other partitions.

Below you have the definition of node XCA, with the subareas and their

addresses Token Ring concerned. This correct like definition is

INSXCA00 VBUILD TYPE=XCA

PORTBA36 PORT ADAPNO=0,CUADDR=BA36,MEDIUM=RING,TIMER=20

GSNABA36 GROUP DIAL=YES,ANSWER=ON,DYNPU=YES,AUTOGEN=(5,L,P), CALL=INOUT

GINSRE13 GROUP DIAL=NO

IINSRE12 LINE USER=SNA,ISTATUS=ACTIVE

NINSRE12 PU MACADDR=400000000003, +

TGN=1, +

SAPADDR=04, +

SUBAREA=1, +

PUTYPE=5, +

ISTATUS=ACTIVE

IINSRE13 LINE USER=SNA,ISTATUS=ACTIVE

NINSRE13 PU MACADDR=400000000004, +

TGN=1, +

SAPADDR=04, +

SUBAREA=3, +

PUTYPE=5, +

ISTATUS=ACTIVE

I am not sure if I understand your question. I think that you already knew the answer. You have to define a similar section for each MVS:

GINSRE13 GROUP DIAL=NO

IINSRE12 LINE USER=SNA,ISTATUS=ACTIVE

NINSRE12 PU MACADDR=400000000003, +

TGN=1, +

SAPADDR=04, +

SUBAREA=1, +

PUTYPE=5, +

ISTATUS=ACTIVE

Of course, you have to modify the macro, the MACADDR value, SUBAREA value, and possibly SAPADDR.

One more comment. The major difference between XCA and 3746 on SSCP-SSCP connection is that XCA does not provide network boundary function. Thus, all 14 MVS must have an unique subarea number.
