Configuring BSC Batch
Introduction
The FRM supports BSC (binary synchronous communication) Batch ports, used to
interconnect IBM 2780/3780 devices over frame relay or X.25. IBM's DSP (Display
System Protocol) allows a host-to-TPAD connection across the network.
To run BSC Batch in an FRM, make sure the following are properly configured in the
database:
●
Node parameters
, which is general configuration that must be done no matter
which protocols will be run in the node. See Chapter 4.
●
RLPs
that will contain the interface(s) to the user device(s), plus Line Interface
Card(s) supporting the ports that will be the interfaces. See Chapter 5.
●
Loaded Protocol(s)
: BSCI, as well as the transport protocol: frame relay or
X.25. See Chapter 5.
●
Frame relay port(s)
and/or
X.25 port(s)
that will connect to a network or frame
relay PVC. See Chapter 7 (frame relay) or Chapter 8 (X.25).
●
BSC Batch port(s)
(page 11-2) that will connect to the user devices.
●
Subscriber IDs
(page 11-7) to identify the user devices.
