External Logon Request

An external logon request arises when these three conditions occur:

• An LU in the network requests a session between the product region and either itself, or some other LU
• The product region is to be the primary session partner
• The logmode specified contains LU6.2 session parameters

Successful processing of such a request results in a BIND being issued to the target LU. The target LU can accept the BIND as it is, negotiate certain BIND parameters, or reject the BIND outright. If not rejected, the negotiated (or unchanged) BIND response is returned to your product region and, if acceptable, the session establishment is complete.
