This chapter contains diagrams and configuration parameter tables for several of the example channel gateway network configurations in Chapter 14, "Channel Gateway". The parameter values shown are from real working test configurations.
For an explanation of the columns and conventions in the configuration parameter tables, see Example Configuration Table Conventions.
The Network Utility World Wide Web pages contain binary configuration files that match these configuration parameter tables. To access these files, follow the Download link from:

Network Utility provides three ways of operating the LCS interface:
The following example illustrates an LCS Passthrough configuration:
*t 6 Gateway user configuration config>add dev esc Device Slot #(1-8) [1] ?3 Adding ESCON Channel device in slot 3 port 1 as interface #4 Use "net 4" to configure ESCON Channel parameters Config>net 4 ESCON Config>add lcs ESCON Add Virtual>? LANtype MAC address MAXdata BLKtimer ACKlen SUBchannels ENable 3172 Emulation Exit ESCON Add Virtual>enable Enabling LCS 3172 Emulation for network 5. Please set the Network link using the "Net" command. ESCON Add Virtual>? BLKtimer ACKlen SUBchannels DISable 3172 Emulation NET link Exit ESCON Add Virtual>net 0 ESCON Add Virtual>sub add
Please add or configure one subchannel for an LCS virtual interface. Although LCS requires two subchannels, it is only necessary to specify one subchannel. An adjacent subchannel will be chosen such that the two subchannels will form a sequential pair with the write subchannel (device address is even) before the read subchannel (device address is odd). ESCON Config LCS subchannel>? LINk address (ESCD Port) LPAR number CU logical address Device address Exit ESCON ESCON Config LCS Subchannel>link f7 ESCON Config LCS Subchannel>lpar 0 ESCON Config LCS Subchannel>cu 0 ESCON Config LCS Subchannel>dev 20 ESCON Config LCS Subchannel>ex ESCON Add Virtual>ex >
ESCON Config>list Net 5 Protocol: LCS LAN type: Token Ring LAN number: 0 3172 Emulation is enabled MAC address: Obtained from net 0 Block timer: 5 ms ACK length: 10 bytes ESCON config>list all Net 5 Protocol: LCS LAN type: Token Ring LAN number: 0 3172 Emulation is enabled MAC address: Obtained from net 0 Block timer: 5 ms ACK length: 10 bytes Read Subchannels: Sub 0 Dev addr: 21 LPAR: 0 Link addr: F7 CU addr: 0 Write Subchannels: Sub 1 Dev addr: 20 LPAR: 0 Link addr: F7 CU addr: 0 ESCON Config
The following example illustrates the t 5 prompt with 3172 Emulation enabled:
LCS> list all LCS Virtual Adapter LCS Information for Net 5 --- ----------- --- --- -- LAN Type: Token-Ring LAN Number: 0 Local Read Subchannel number: 1 Local Write Subchannel number: 0 MAC Address: 08005AFE0144 LCS 3172 Emulation to net 0 Status: Down
Figure 15-3 shows how the parameters correlate between the host and the Network Utility for an LCS interface definition.

See Chapter 18, "Sample Host Definitions" for more explanation and samples of host definitions for this interface type.
