SDLC Multidrop Primary Configuration Problems

SYMPTOMS

You have the following SDLC multidrop primary configuration problem:

• If you assign a multidrop primary connection to a link service once, you are unable to assign other connections to it.
  
  -or-
• If you assign a non-multidrop primary connection to a link service, for example, a peer to host connection, you cannot assign a multidrop primary connection to the link service.

These symptoms do not occur on standard SDLC leased or switched connections to host systems where you select the Host system option in the SNA Admin Connection Properties dialog box.

NOTE: A multidrop connection is a connection through which one primary computer communicates with multiple secondary computers. SNA Server supports multidrop connections to peer or downstream computers on leased SDLC lines. You can configure up to four multidrop connections on each line, with an SNA server as the primary server on each.
