[list.ibmtcp-l] MVS/XA TCPIP, 8232 and BTI/ELC

Chris Allison <CHRIS%MIAMIU.bitnet@ugw.utcs.utoronto.ca> (11/07/89)

     This is a note I sent on 11/7/89.  The only thing I know of that is
missing from this is the IOCP info.  The archives around this time definatly
contain that info.
----------------------------Original message----------------------------
   I am not at an MVS/XA shop.  But I do know that the BTI box IOCP has
been discused before and the answer is in the archives.  What I do know
is you define the BTI box as 4 contiguous CTCA the first must be on a
zero boundary (we used 410).  The TCPIP.node.TCPIP file entries to support
the BTI for our system follows.  GOOD LUCK!

 notes
  The ELANS AKA CETI interface is not documented in the MVS manuals.  It is
      in the VM docs.
  In the DEVICE stmt 410 is our channel address the rest should be copied.
      ETH1 seems to be dealers choice but must be on the HOME stmt.
  On the GATEWAY stmt put your host IP address.
  On the TRANSLATE stmt put your IP address and the serial number from the
     BTI box.  The serial number can be found tech ref manual(pg 5).
     The last two numbers of the serial number show on the panel when you
     do a reset.(see pg 5 ED ck1 ck2 et1 et2 cu 00) you want et1 et2

If the BTI box in CETI mode works like the 9370 ELANS adapter then you
shouldn't need the TRANSLATE statement.  The "net parms record" displayed
at startup includes the box's Ethernet address, and TCPIP sets the translate
table accordingly.
