Step 7: Develop the Access Server Gateway Configuration

Once you've completed the SNA Server Preparation Forms, you can develop the Access Server Gateway configuration. This involves defining appropriate LU and LU pool names to be configured using the SNA Server Manager and, optionally but highly recommended, defining Access Names to be configured using the Access Server Manager. You may also define various LU authorization and security parameters.

Using the preparation forms and the appropriate information from the DECnet SNA Gateway configuration file, complete the Access Server Configuration Worksheet in Appendix A. Figure 3-4 shows a sample of a filled-in configuration worksheet that corresponds to the DECnet SNA Gateway configuration file shown in Figure 3-1.

For information and suggestions about how to determine appropriate values for the fields in the Access Server Configuration Worksheet, see the following section, "Understanding and Mapping Access Routine Parameters." It discusses in detail how to preserve DECnet SNA Gateway access routine information when you configure the Access Names and Name Mapping parameters in the Access Server. It also shows you how to preserve appropriate network information when you configure the Authorization and Secure LUs parameters.
