- CREATE PASSTHRU SESSION
-
- The two source members CRTPASTHR.CLP and CRTPASTHR.CMD allow AS/400
- shops to set up a passthru environment on their system.
-
- The command CRTPASTHR and its CPP of the same name can be run one for
- each passthru target machine that you will be dialing into.
-
- Once you've run the command, use the IBM-supplied STRPASTHR command to
- begin your passthru session with the other system.
-
- This command is not the end-all, but it does remove most the questions
- if this is the first time you've done passthru.
-
- COMMAND SYNTAX:
-
- CRTPASTHR RMTID(remote system name)
- RMTLOC(*RMTID/remote location name)
- LCLLOC(*NETATR/local location name)
- DEVD(*RMTID/APPC device name to create)
- CTLD(*RMTID/control name to create)
- LIND(*RMTID/line description name to create)
- RESOURCE(LIN011/comm-line resource name to use)
- LINESPEED(2400/modem speed 600-64000 baud)
- AUTODIAL(*YES/does modem have autodial)
- PHONE(phone number to dial when passthru started)
- EXCHID(05600000/exchange ID for handshaking)
- STNADR(01/controller station address)
- NBRDEV(*NONE/1,2,3 number of virtual devices to create)
- VDEVD(VDSP/virtual device prefix)
- VCTLD(*RMTID/virtual controller name)
-
-
- All parameters except RMTID and PHONE have default values that will most
- likely be acceptable. The RMTID parameter is normally the system name
- (local location name of the DSPNETA command) of the target system. That
- is the system you will be passing through to. The PHONE parameter can
- contain the phone number of the target computer's modem.
-
- The following example creates the passthru objects for a passthru
- session between a system named Chicago and a system named MAUI. The
- system Chicago is the target system. The system MAUI is the source
- system.
-
- On the source system in MAUI, the follow command would be run:
-
- CRTPASTHR RMTID(Chicago) NBRDEV(3) PHONE(1,3125551212)
-
-
- On the target system in Chicago, the following command would be run:
-
- CRTPASTHR RMTID(MAUI) NBRDEV(3) PHONE(1,8085551212)
-
- Now then, these command assume the local location network attribute
- is the name of the corresponding city. ==> CHGNETA LCLLOCNAME(Chicago)
-
- Four steps to passthru (on the source system):
- 1. CRTCLPGM PGM(CRTPASTHR) LOG(*YES)
- 2. CRTCMD CMD(CRTPASTHR) PGM(CRTPASTHR) MAXPOS(2)
- 3. CRTPASTHR RMTID(Chicago) LCLLOC(Maui) NBRDEV(3) PHONE(1,3125551212)
- 4. STRPASTHR RMTLOCNAME(*CNNDEV) CNNDEV(Chicago) VCTL(Chicago)
-
-
- Four steps to passthru (on the target system):
- 1. CRTCLPGM PGM(CRTPASTHR) LOG(*YES)
- 2. CRTCMD CMD(CRTPASTHR) PGM(CRTPASTHR) MAXPOS(2)
- 3. CRTPASTHR RMTID(MAUI) LCLLOC(CHICAGO) NBRDEV(3) PHONE(1,8085551212)
- At this point, the source system can passthru to this system.
- If you want to start passthru from the target to the source, run step 4.
- 4. STRPASTHR RMTLOCNAME(*CNNDEV) CNNDEV(Maui) VCTL(Maui)
-
- NOTE: The VCTL parameter contains the name of a virtual controller on
- the target system. For example, if CHICAGO's system had a virtual
- controller named Chicago (which they would if they used these commands,)
- the VCTL parameter of the STRPASTHR command on the MAUI system would be
- VCTL(Chicago).
-
- Once the passthru objects have been created, only the STRPASTHR command
- is necessary to passthru from one system to another.
-
- ATTENTION: Most frustration arises when (a) the wrong location names
- are used and (b) after a failed passthru attempt, a seconded attempt
- fails due to the line, device and/or controller needing to be varied off
- then varied on.
