Configuring a Node

Before you can take advantage of the client APIs and communicate with other application programs, you first need to configure Personal Communications as an SNA end node.

To configure the SNA node:
  1. From the Start menu, click Programs → IBM Personal Communications → SNA Node Configuration.

    The Personal Communications SNA Node Configuration window appears.

  2. Select the necessary Configuration Options in the order listed on the window.

    To select an option, click it and then click New.

    For each option, enter the appropriate information on the configuration panels. Most required information is listed on the Basic page. Click OK to complete the option. Click Help if you need more information about the individual parameters.

  3. Click File → Save or Save As.
  4. Type the file name and then click Save. Note that you can choose the file type and where to save this file. The default file type is .ACG and the default location is the system-class application data directory.
  5. Click File → Exit.

Tip

If you have more than one configuration file, you can apply additional configuration files to an active node. Refer to the help in the SNA Node Operations section of the product for details.
