REMOTE LU CONFIGURATION DATA
LU Name: The name (8 or fewer characters) that identifies the partner LU to NetWare LU6.2.
Use only uppercase letters, numbers, or the character $, #,
and @. The first character must not be numeric.
Data Link Control Name:

Page 1 of 8
REMOTE LU CONFIGURATION DATA
ITRN Use this value for the following remote locations:

supported by the same server as your workstation.
Both Network Adapter Number and Network Adapter
Address must be set to 0.
(2) The remote LU is located in a host accessed via a
token ring network adapter to an IBM 3174 control
unit or an IBM 3725/3745 communications controller.
The Network Adapter Address must be set to the 3714
or 37x5 node address.
(3) The remote LU is located in another server that is
connected to the same token ring network as your
server. The Network Adapter Address must be set to
the token ring node address of the remote LU's
server.
Page 2 of 8
REMOTE LU CONFIGURATION DATA
(4) The remote and local LU's are running on the same server.
SDLC - Use this value to establish a workstation-to-host or
server-to-host connection via either a coaxial or a
Synchronous Data Link Control adapter.
COAX - Use this value to establish a workstation-to-host or
server-to-hos connection via a coaxial connection to a
3174/3274 control unit. NetWare LU6.2 defaults to COAX if
you specify SDLC and no SDLC adapter is present.
Network Adapter Number:
Determines whether the token ring network adapter (in your server),
by which the remote LU is accessed is primary (0) or alternate (1).
If you specify a peer-to-peer connection, set this field to 0.
Page 3 of 8
REMOTE LU CONFIGURATION DATA
Network Adapter Address: Specifies the remote LU's adapter address.
If the remote LU is located in a workstation supported by a
server, set this parameter to the 6-byte locally administered
token ring address of the remote LU's server.
If both workstations are supported by the same server,
set this parameter to binary zero (000000000000).
If the remote LU is located in a host accessed via a coaxial cable
or SDLC gateway server, set this parameter to binary zero
(000000000000).
If the remote and local LU's are located on the same server, set
this parameter to binary zero (000000000000).
Page 4 of 8
REMOTE LU CONFIGURATION DATA
If the remote LU is located in a host accessed by the NetWare
token ring gateway server, set this parameter to the 6-byte
locally-administered address of the connected 3174/37x5 (for
example: 40010020abef).
LU Session Limit:
The maximum number of concurrently active sessions you will
allow between the local LU and remote LU.
Max Logical Record Size:
Specifies the maximum logical record size a mapped conversation
can use when building a logical record. Specify a decimal value
between 0 and 32767. The default value, 0, is converted to the
maximum record size, 32767. Values of 1, 2, or 3 are converted to
4.

1, or 2.
0 specifies the following set: lower-cased a-z; numerics 0-9;
and special characters $,#,@, and (.). No restrictions of
position of characters. Trailing blanks are allowed.
1 specifies the following set: lower-cased a-z; uppercase A-Z;
numerics 0-9, and special characters $, #, and @.
When converting ASCII to EBCIDIC lowercase is converted to
uppercase; when converting in either direction, the first
character can not be numeric, trailing blanks are allowed.
Page 6 of 8

Specifies the number of sessions you want to permit
a CNOS verb to specify for the local LU and the

MODE FILE CONFIGURATION DATA
SAA Service Profile Name:
Specifies an SAA Service Profile to be used for this session.
The name can be from 1 to 8 characters long.
This field applies only to side information files used by the
CPIC NLM in the Netware Communication Services environment.

An SAA service profile is a collection of information about the
server's connection to the SNA host as well as the sessions to
be obtained through that connection. For example, the service
profile specifies the number of LUs available on the host, the
types of LUs available, and the users authorized to use the LUs.
