Scenario: SNA direct connection using a modem eliminator

 

The example shows a direct Systems Network Architecture (SNA) connection that uses a modem eliminator.

The following figure shows the configuration of two System i™ models (SYSTEM1 and SYSTEM2) for direct SNA frame-relay communications without a frame-relay network.

Figure 1. SNA direct connection using a modem eliminator

In this scenario, SYSTEM1 connects to SYSTEM2 through an X.21 modem eliminator. The modem eliminator operates at a speed of 1.536 Mbps. One data link connection identifier (DLCI) is defined between the two systems. Both SYSTEM1 and SYSTEM2 are defined as Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking^® (APPN) end nodes. You must create the Advanced Program-to-Program Communication (APPC) controller descriptions, but the device descriptions are created automatically.
