OS/400 Communications Configuration  

Look at Chapter 6 for configuring your line description.

You will need to use the command WRKHDWRSC *CMN to view or print your
communications resources because you will need the resource name for
your 
ethernet card.

I used the command RTVCFGSRC to retreive the command source which you
can use
as an example:

CRTLINETH LIND(ETHERNET1) RSRCNAME(CMN09) ONLINE(*YES) +             
         VRYWAIT(*NOWAIT) MAXCTL(40) ADPTADR(020000000000) +         
         EXCHID(05623850) ETHSTD(*ALL) LINESPEED(100M) +             
         DUPLEX(*FULL) +                                             
         SSAP((04 1496 *SNA)(12 1496 *NONSNA)(AA 1496 *NONSNA)(C8 +  
         1496 *HPR)) THRESHOLD(*MAX) GENTSTFRM(*YES) +               
         LINKSPEED(100M) COSTCNN(0) COSTBYTE(0) +                    
         SECURITY(*NONSECURE) PRPDLY(*LAN) USRDFN1(128) +            
         USRDFN2(128) USRDFN3(128) AUTOCRTCTL(*YES) +                
         AUTODLTCTL(1440) CMNRCYLMT(5 5) TEXT('Ethernet line')

NOTE:  The following 2 items are auto created by the system when you
start TCP/IP.
       
CRTCTLNET CTLD(ETHERNET) ONLINE(*NO) LINE(ETHERNET1) CNNRSPTMR(170) +
         TEXT('CREATED BY AUTO-CONFIGURATION')                       
CRTDEVNET DEVD(ETHERTCP) TYPE(*TCPIP) ONLINE(*NO) CTL(ETHERNET) +    
         TEXT('CREATED BY AUTO-CONFIGURATION')                       

After creating the line description you need to vary it on by using the
command
WRKCFGSTS *LIN E* and taking option 1 to vary it on.


Hope this helps,

Billy
