Dial Out from the Host

The first example applies to dialing out from a z/OS host. Make sure you specify the correct MAXDATA value. The MAXDATA parameter of the PU macro designates the maximum information frame size used by the link layer of SNA. The appropriate specification will vary by system.

Note: Many versions of NCP require two ports for dialing out: one for the node, the other for an AT&T 801C‑type autocaller.
