Step 5: Complete the SNA Server Preparation Forms
Appendix B of the Microsoft SNA Server Administration Guide contains SNA Server Preparation Forms. You may find these forms helpful for recording the information you'll need to configure the
Access Server Gateway.
- Use the appropriate Forms for Configuring the Server and Connections in Appendix B to record the PU, LU, and connection information associated with the SET LINE, SET CIRCUIT, and SET PU
commands in the DECnet SNA Gateway configuration file. You may also record the information you gathered when you spoke with the IBM system administrator. You'll use some of this information to set up
the SNA Server network service, using the Microsoft SNA Server Manager.
- If you have more than one DECnet SNA Gateway configuration, record this information for each one.
- Use the Forms for Configuring LUs in Appendix B to record LU name and type information associated with the SET ACCESS NAME (and possibly the SET PU) commands in the DECnet SNA Gateway
configuration file. You may use some of this information to set up LU names and LU pools using the SNA Server Manager, and some of this information to set up access names and specific connection
information in the Access Server using the DIGITAL SNA Access Server Manager.
- If you have multiple access names in a configuration, record this information for each one.
Table 3-2 and Table 3-3 list typical connection parameters in a DECnet SNA Gateway-CT configuration file and a DECnet SNA
Gateway-ST configuration file. These examples use the parameters from the configuration files in Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2 to show
how they might be used to map DECnet SNA Gateway connection information in the SNA Server Manager.

NOTE: The actual parameters will differ depending on the channel board installed.
NOTE: Most properties are set in the Connection Properties dialogs.
*In a DECnet SNA Gateway configuration, the values for BUFFER SIZE and MAXIMUM DATA may be different. In an Access Server configuration, the values must be the same; this value is set in MAX BTU
LENGTH.
