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

Configure CAICCI for TCP/IP

You configure CAICCI using the Configurator (CAICCI-PC Properties dialog), which is either already running as part of the installation process, or you can run it through the Start menu.

Note: On a Windows XP Professional, 2003, 2008 or Windows 7 computer, the Configurator must be run by an Administrator ID because the Configurator updates the registry.

To configure CAICCI for TCP/IP on Windows

1. Run the Configurator.

   The CAICCI-PC Properties dialog opens.

2. Select the TCP/IP tab.

   The page for setting TCP/IP parameters opens.

3. Set the TCP/IP parameters as follows:
   • Identify the mainframe CAICCI through CAICCI Server Identification group of fields
   • Define the ID of the CAICCI on the PC in the System Name field

     Note: Choose a unique name or leave the field blank to use a name derived from the machine name.

   • Update the other fields as required.
4. Click Apply.

   You have configured CAICCI on your PC to use TCP/IP.

5. Select the SSL tab.

   The page for setting SSL parameters opens.

6. Update the SSL parameters as required, and click Apply.

   Note: The path to find certificates is C:\CA_APPSW, which is specified in the Path environment variable. You can leave the SSL Path field blank or specify a path other than the default.

   You have configured CAICCI on your PC to use SSL.

7. Click OK.

   The CAICCI-PC Properties dialog closes.
