Accessing APPC Using TCP/IP (SNA Over IP)
AnyNet/400 APPC over TCP/IP allows you to extend intersystem communications
function (ICF), common programming interface for communications (CPI-C), and
CICS/400 applications to TCP/IP users without adding a separate APPC network.
You can also allow any OS/400, ICF, CICS/400 or CPI-C application (such as
DRDA) to communicate across a TCP/IP network.
The
Communications Configuration
, SC41-5401-00 book, tells you how to configure
AnyNet/400 APPC over TCP/IP.
Accessing APPC Using IPX (SNA Over IPX)
AnyNet/400 APPC over IPX allows you to extend ICF, CPI-C or CICS/400
applications to IPX users without adding a separate APPC network. You can also
allow any OS/400, ICF, CICS/400 or CPI-C application (such as DRDA) to
communicate across an IPX network.
Accessing Sockets Using IPX (IP Over IPX)
AnyNet/400 Sockets over IPX allows you to add Berkeley Software Distribution
(BSD) Sockets applications to existing IPX networks, without adding a separate
TCP/IP network. This allows OS/400 users to use most Sockets applications (such
as FTP, SMTP and SNMP) across an IPX network.
The book
Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) Support
, SC41-5400-00, tells you
how to configure and use the Novell protocol suite with OS/400.
Accessing Sockets Using SNA (IP over SNA)
AnyNet/400 Sockets over SNA allows you to add BSD Sockets applications to
existing SNA networks without adding a separate TCP/IP network. This allows
OS/400 users to use most sockets applications (such as FTP, SMTP and SNMP)
across an SNA network.
The book
Sockets Programming
, SC41-5422-03, describes how to use both AnyNet
and non-AnyNet sockets.
