ESCON Configuration 15 Chapter 4. ESCON C ONFIGURA TION Figure 4-1. ESCON Attached Controllers Overvie w ESCON controllers, including the PCI ESCON A dapter (PBSA) , can be co nnected to the mainframe in more than one fashion. As show n in Figure 4-1, Controller 1 is attached directl y to one of the mainfram e’s ESCON channels.
16 PCI ESCON Adapter Installation Guide Finally, using both ESCON Directors and EMIF, it is possible for a single ESCON controller to communicate with multiple Logical Partitions ( LPARs) running on multiple mainframes, using multiple ESCON channe ls.
ESCON Configuration 17 Channel Link – The address of the ESCON director port that conne cts to the mainframe this device is to communicate with. The va lue range is from 01-FE hexadecimal. In Figure 4-2 the mainfram e uses a channel link address '02 ' to communicate with S erver 1.
18 PCI ESCON Adapter Installation Guide Configur ation ESCON configuration may be defined and viewed from an y of the upper level software including the data link service for Micros oft’s Host Integration Server or SNA Server, data link control for Communications Server, TCP/ IP Passthrough, TCP/IP Direct Connect, or MPC+ for Windows.
ESCON Configuration 19 In Windows NT the ESCON configuration ma y be accessed through the system Control Panel. From the main screen of Control Panel double click the Network Ic o n (See Figure 4-4). Figure 4-4. Windows NT Control Panel Select t he Adapters tab (Figure 4-5).
