Windows to Mainframe: Common Communications Interface › Configure CAICCI for TCP/IP › TCP/IP Tab

TCP/IP Tab

The TCP/IP tab lets you set TCP/IP parameters for CAICCI on Windows.

This tab contains the following fields to identify the server:

Name or IP address

Specifies the name or Internet address of the server, which acts as a gateway for CAICCI requests.

IPv6 is supported in CAICCI-PC Version 14.0. You can specify an IP address in either IPv4 format (dotted decimal notation: "ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd") or IPv6 format ("xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"). IPv6 format addresses are supported in the CAICCI Server Identification box. Nodenames for IPv6 systems that are mapped to IPv6 addresses on the DNS server are also supported.

If you specify a logical name, TCP/IP is configured to work with a name server, and the name you enter is defined to the name server.

Port

Specifies the port number that the CAICCI server expects to use.

Default: 1202

The tab contains the following field to identify the client:

System Name

Defines a system name to identify your PC uniquely.

By default, CAICCI uses the name that TCP/IP defines. If the name is longer than eight characters, it uses the machine name to derive a different but unique 8-character name. To use a preferred ID, specify a unique new name in the text box.

Default: Name TCP/IP defines

Limits: Eight characters

The tab contains the following fields for CAICCI timeout intervals:

Reply Wait

Specifies the interval to wait for the initial part of a packet to be received in a socket. A value of 0 tells CAICCI to poll forever.

Default: -1 (largest signed 32-bit integer)

Ready to Receive

Specifies the interval to wait for the remainder of the data to be received, after the initial packet. A value of 0 tells CAICCI to poll forever for the rest of the data.

Default: -1 (largest signed 32-bit integer)

Ready to Send

Specifies the interval to wait for a socket to be available to send data. A value of 0 tells CAICCI to poll 9999 times.

Default: 60

Disable CAICCI timeout values or Disable appl timeout values

Specifies whether to ignore any timeout value passed in the Timeout parameter of CAICCI API requests. The CAICCI-PC timeout value will be used instead. You should check this box only when instructed to do so by CA Support.
