Thanks, I read those comments and also could not find a way to specify port 
type or port number from either side.

I am saddened by the inability to change either side of this equation.   The 
IBM equipment will not talk to the IBM software.   So much for the mainframe 
and dasd being a full network citizen like other platforms.

I am not irritated enough to request an enhancement to either the mainframe 
code OR the DS8884 code.   The process is long and convoluted and 'designed by 
committee'.   I was just hoping to get basic information for urgent problems 
without buying a suite of SIEM tools or SAN monitoring tools or SNMP tools or 
any of the other plethora of products.  Simple syslog was going to be a basic 
window to get a kind of real time look at whats going on.
