Quick Beginnings

Step 2. Add a Connection

1. From the Action Bar, select Add.
2. Select Connections.
3. From the Select a Connection pop-up menu, select the type of connection (for example, Token Ring).
4. At the Token Ring Connection pop-up:
   1. Enter a Link Name.
   2. Assign values to the Options parameters:

      1. Enter Block ID.

      2. Enter Node ID (if provided by your VTAM or AS/400 administrator).

      3. Enter Destination Address.

      4. Both the Local and the Remote SAP Addresses can default to 4. You may need to change this at a later stage, for example if you are using another SNA application and you get a message indicating that the Service Access Point (SAP) address is not available, either to DB2 Connect or to the other application.
   3. Select a choice from the Link Options.
   4. Click on the Advanced button.
   5. Confirm that the Adapter Selection is correct (usually the primary).
   6. Leave the Link Parameters at the default value.
5. Click on OK.
