Configuring BSC Batch
Introduction
The SmartSwitch 1800 supports ports configured for BSC (binary synchronous com-
munication) Batch, which interconnects IBM 2780/3780 devices over frame relay or
X.25.
Required Configuration
To run BSC Batch in a SmartSwitch 1800, make sure the following are properly con-
figured:
●
Node parameters
(Chapter 4). This is general configuration that must be done
no matter which protocols will be run in the node.
●
Loaded protocols
(Chapter 5): BSC Batch, as well as frame relay or X.25 if BSC
will be transported over one of those.
●
Frame relay
(Chapter 7) or
X.25
(Chapter 8) port(s) that will connect to a
network or frame relay PVC.
●
Logical X.25
(Chapter 8), if BSC will be encapsulated for transmission over
frame relay.
●
BSC Batch port(s)
(page 11-2) that will connect to the user devices.
●
Subscriber IDs
(page 11-8), which identifiy user devices to each other and the
SmartSwitch.
