SNA over Ethernet connection on integrated server

Hello All.

I am trying to establish a CDRM connection for an integrated server (3006) machine to a VTAM-VM machine using a SNA connection over Ethernet network. When I try to activate the line on the integrated server I get:
IST1132I L48INN05 IS ACTIVE, TYPE = XCA MAJOR NODE
IST1139I ACTLINK FOR WAN480 FAILED - SENSE: 081C0038

Next is the configuration:

The 3006 machine has 2 Ethernet cards in it. Here is what can be seen in the MPTS panel:

IBM 100/10 EtherJet PCI adapter (OS/2...)
1 - IBM TCP/IP
1 - IBM IEEE 802.2 <---- will be used for the SNA connection.
Digital Semiconductor 2104x/2114x 10/100 mbps
0 - IBM IEEE 802.2 <---- is used for the tcp4vse connection.

In adapter 1, I defined mac address = 400000000048, and "type Ethernet driver support" = D.

In the configuration panel:
300 3088 9 <---- tcp4vse (which works fine)
301 3088 9 <---- second address for tcp4vse.
306 3088 B <--- used for SDLC connection (works fine).
308 3088 8 <---- will be used for SNA
(8=lan3172, 9=lcs3172)

In the IPL:
ADD 300:301,CTCA,EML
ADD 306,3705,10
ADD 308:30F,CTCA,EML

In vtam:
XCA48INN VBUILD TYPE=XCA
PORT480 PORT MEDIUM=RING,CUADDR=308,ADAPNO=1,TIMER=60,SAPADDR=4
LAN480G GROUP ISTATUS=ACTIVE,DIAL=NO
WAN480 LINE ISTATUS=ACTIVE,USER=SNA
P48INN05 PU ISTATUS=ACTIVE,MACADDR=0200D74EBBBB,PUTYPE=5, X
TGN=1,SUBAREA=5,SAPADDR=4
*

I looked in the book and in previous messages in the vselist, but no luck.
What am I missing?

The P390 list might be another place you could post this question.
I think the problem is the MPTS settings. It's been a while since I had
to do the same thing with a MP3000, but MPTS has a card setting that is
'Dix' or 'IEEE802.3' that have to be different between TCP/IP and SNA.
It has to be the first for SNA, the later for TCP/IP. On the MP3000, you
change the MPTS 'type ethernet adapter' setting for the card to either
'D' or 'I'.

Gil,

One problem that I see is that you have MEDIUM=RING in your XCA. For Ethernet, you need to specify MEDIUM=CSMACD.
This is how we code our XCA's on our MP3000's:

NZ99CXCA VBUILD TYPE=XCA
PORTFB0 PORT MEDIUM=CSMACD,ADAPNO=0,CUADDR=FB0,TIMER=30,SAPADDR=20
GRPFB0 GROUP DIAL=NO
LINEFB0 LINE USER=SNA,ISTATUS=ACTIVE
PUFB0 PU MACADDR=400012112109,TGN=1,SUBAREA=15,SAPADDR=04, X
PUTYPE=5

Tony mentions the 'D' vs. 'I' issue, and we have had trouble with this in the past as well. In our case, we found that it was dependant on the rest of the LAN that you are connecting to. Of 17 MP3000's, we have two that are set to 'D' and the rest are set to 'I'. However, having this set incorrectly doesn't cause the ACTLINK error reported below, it just never connects, and shows PCTD2 status.

Hope this helps,

Hello Henry.
Thanks for the info.
I changed the definition to CSMACD as you suggested, and now I too get the PCTD1, which is a progress compared to the previous status.
I tried changing the 'D' to 'I' , but it did no change.
I'll check with the network person.
Thanks again.
Gil.
