Customize Device Configuration

You may consider customizing the configuration to include the following features:

Utilize LPDA Support

To utilize LPDA support

  1. Consider the inclusion of LPDA support.
  2. Set the LPDATS operand on the LINE macro to YES; otherwise, the solicitation of link status and DTE data from such devices fails.

Note: Use if 386X type modems are used in the installation only.

Utilize RTM Support

To utilize the support NEWS provides for the 3x74 RTM feature, you must customize the controller for host support.

To utilize RTM support

  1. During the customization process for the 3x74, select any one of the options available that provide host support. The specific option depends on your other requirements.
  2. Configure the default RTM definition and boundary values for all attached devices. These values can subsequently be changed by NEWS.

FCS Support

For NEWS to converse with a 3600/4700 controller, the controller must include the expanded System Monitor with Communications Network Management/Controller Support (CNM/CS).

For more information about the generation statements required and CNM support, see the appropriate 3600/4700 Subsystem Instruction and Macros Reference, Programmer’s Guide, System Programmer’s Guide, Component Descriptions, and Principles of Operation guides.
