Configuring BSC Batch
Introduction
The SmartSwitch 1800 supports ports configured for BSC (binary synchronous com-
munication) Batch, which interconnects IBM 2780/3780 devices over frame relay or
X.25.
Required Configuration
To run BSC Batch in a SmartSwitch 1800, make sure the following are properly con-
figured:
Node parameters (Chapter 4). This is general configuration that must be done
no matter which protocols will be run in the node.
Loaded protocols (Chapter 5): BSC Batch, as wel l as frame relay or X.25 if BSC
will be transported over one of those.
Frame relay (Chapter 7) or X.25 (Chapter 8) port(s) that will connect to a
network or frame relay PVC.
Logical X.25 (Chapter 8), if BSC will be encapsulated for transmission over
frame relay.
BSC Batch port(s) (page 11-2) that will connect to the user devices.
Subscriber IDs (page 11-8), which identifiy user devices to each other and the
SmartSwitch.
