Configuring BSC Batch
Introduction
FRX4000, FRX6000, and the Frame Relay Module support 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 con-
nection across the network.
To run BSC Batch in an FRX4000 or FRX6000, make sure the following is properly
configured:
●
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)
: BSC Interactive, as well as frame relay or X.25 if BSC will
be transported over one of those. 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 11-8) to identify the user devices.
