This is a pseudo device which actually only exists in PR/SM's mind. The hipersockets form an type of "virtual LAN" which is totally independent of your physical LAN. In fact, you'll need some IP addresses (subnet) which does not exist on your physical LAN. Our internal LAN uses the 10.a.b.c type addresses. For our hipersocket LAN, I used 192.168.a.b instead. This kept the hipersocket addresses totally separate from the physical LAN addresses. In your TCPIP parameters, you will need a hipersocket device such as: DEVICE IUTIQDaa MPCIPA AUTORESTART LINK IQDaaL IPAQIDIO IUTIQDaa Where "aa" above is (must be) the CHPID of the IQD device. Then, you must assign an IP address to the IQDaaL LINK in the HOME section similar to: 192.168.151.1 IQDaaL Lastly, you should likely START the DEVICE by placing a START command at the end of your TCPIP parameters similar to START IUTIQDaa > >If this configuration is feasible and/or possible, where is this >documented and are there examples? Yes. I think all of the is documented in the TCPIP manual on setting up TCPIP. The main search is for the IQD device. > >TIA. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
