VTAM Line Driver Overview

The Entire Net-Work VTAM line driver provides transport connectivity between client and server processes on homogeneous or heterogeneous platforms using the SNA LU0, LU6.0, or LU6.2 protocol.

In order to achieve communication among VTAM, the Entire Net-Work VTAM line driver, and the partner nodes in the network, these three elements must be defined to each other. This documentation provides detail explanations of each of these requirements. Specifically:

  • Preparing the VTAM Environment describes the steps involved in defining the Entire Net-Work VTAM line driver to VTAM.

  • VTAM DRIVER Statement provides detailed information about the VTAM DRIVER statement parameters, which allow you to define the ACF/VTAM operating characteristics and requirements to the VTAM line driver.

  • VTAM LINK Statement provides detailed information about the VTAM LINK statement parameters, which allow you to define the partners with which the node will communicate.

This document provides information for administrators responsible for configuring and running the Entire Net-Work VTAM line driver once Entire Net-Work is installed.

The VTAM line driver documentation is organized as follows:

VTAM Line Driver Installation Prerequisites Describes the prerequisites for installing and using the VTAM line driver.
Preparing the VTAM Environment Describes the steps involved to prepare your VTAM environment for the Entire Net-Work VTAM line driver.
VTAM DRIVER Statement Describes the syntax and parameters of the VTAM DRIVER statement.
VTAM LINK Statement Describes the syntax and parameters of the VTAM LINK statement.
VTAM Operator Commands Describes the operator commands available for the VTAM line driver.
VTAM Line Driver Model Links Describes the model link support offered by the VTAM line driver.
VTAM Line Driver User Exits Describes the user exit support provided with the VTAM line driver.
