The Eicon Configuration Program 30
Each protocol has a number of parameters associated with it. These parameters
let you customize the protocol software for your particular connection.
However, in most cases you will not have to change the default values of these
parameters.
Eicon SNA Gateway protocols can be configured to suit almost any
communications situation. However, since there are so many types of
equipment, switches, and networks with which the gateway can interact, there
can be uncertainty about which parameters need to be changed. To simplify
the configuration process, the best possible default values have already been
determined for each protocol parameter, and in most cases the parameters do
not need to be changed.
In some cases, you will have to change the default values of certain parameters.
Refer to the section “Configuration Notes” on page 40 of this chapter for more
information.
