ID

This is the polling address by which the CU is polled by the device.
Each time a CU is added, the configuration editor automatically assigns this value. If you choose to change the assigned value, make certain it matches the actual controller.
Range: 40, C1--C9, 4A--4F, 50, D1--D9, 5A--5F hexadecimal
 

NAU Name

This optional field enables you to assign a name to the CU. NAU names must be unique to the unit.
Range: Up to eight alphanumeric characters
 

Initial State

This field sets the CU's initial state at system startup.
Range: Enabled or Disabled
 

XID

This field enables you to assign a CU XID. The unit uses XIDs to establish and negotiate CU application sessions. If the CU cannot respond to an XID request from the Host, the unit uses this assigned XID value.
To solicit an XID from a CU, or if your CUs are type 1 or 2.1, leave the XID field blank.
Range: 8 hexadecimal numbers
 

Max Data

This parameter enables you to specify the Path Information Unit (PIU) size for LAN sessions between an SNA Host and the unit performing bisync-to-SNA conversion. The PIU is the SNA frame size (i.e., the SNA data and header).
Range: Any value in the pull-down list
 

Destination

Click inside this field to select the appropriate destination. If the destination does not appear in the list, you may add it though the Destination Editor.
Range: Any device in the pull-down list
 

Port

Select the port through which the unit communicates with the destination device.
Range: 1 -- 8
 

DLCI

Enter the primary DLCI the CU uses to contact the destination device. If your connection is back-to-back, enter 32.
If you do not specify a DLCI, the unit sends a broadcast test frame over all available routes to determine the best route. To reduce the cost of these broadcasts, define the primary DLCI.
Range: 16 -- 1023
 

Connect Type

This parameter determines whether or not the CU is originating or answering the call.
Range: Originate or Answer
 

SAP

This is the SAP address of the selected destination device. This field is automatically defined once the destination is selected.
Range: 04 -- F8 (in increments of 4)
 

Device ID

This is a predefined value. To use a specific ID, click on device type box adjacent to the desired ID.
 

Device Type

Select the CU for which you want to specify a device, then click inside the Device Type field.
Range: None, CRT, or Printer
 

Advanced

Click on this button to define the CUs parallel and alternate routes.
