IBM AS/400

The default value for each bit is underlined in the Bit Value column.
To configure the AS/400 to a 3684 retail controller, use the following table.
LINECON Bit Bit Value
AS/400 Parameter and
Value Notes
00
None Enabled at initial microprogram load (IML). There is no
equivalent parameter for the AS/400 system. Specify 0
to indicate that the controller is enabled at IML, or 1 to
indicate that the controller is not enabled at IML.
1 None
1 0 NRZI(*NO) Specifies NRZI data encoding with leading pads (1)or
non-NRZI without leading pads (0).
1
NRZI(*YES)
2 and 3 00
SWITCHED (*YES) and
CNN(*SWTPP)
Bit 2: Specify 1 is using nonswitched communications,
or 0 if using switched communications. If switched, the
SENDID parameter must also be specified.
Bit 3: Specify 1 if using a multipoint communications
protocol, or 0 if not. 01 is not a valid combination for
these bits.
01 Not valid
10 SWITCHED(*NO) and
CNN(*NONSWTPP)
11 SWITCHED(*NO) and
CNN(*MP)
40
SNBU(*NO) Switched network backup.
1 SNBU(*YES)
50
MODEMRATE(*FULL) Data rate select speed.
1 MODEMRATE(*HALF)
60
DUPLEX(*HALF) Data carrier setting.
1 DUPLEX(*FULL)
7 0 None Answer tone generation. There is no equivalent
parameter for the AS/400 system. Specify 0 to indicate
that the controller generates the answer tone, or 1 to
indicate that the answer tone is omitted.
1
None
Matching AS/400 parameters for 4680/4690 LINE parameter
You must coordinate parameters between the AS/400 and the 4680 or 4690 retail controller. The following
table lists those parameters. The 4680 controller requires configuration of the SDLC/SNA LINE parameter.
AS/400 parameters are listed in alphabetical order; the commands on which the parameters are specified
are included in the rightmost column of the table.
For more information about configuring the 4680, see the IBM 4680 Store System: Programming Guide.
To configure the AS/400 to a 4680/4690 controller:
v See “Examples: Connecting AS/400 to a 4690 retail controller” on page 75 for an example of an AS/400
connecting to a 4690 retail controller.
v Use the following table to connect an AS/400 to a 4690 retail controller.
