In this procedure, you create a new DLC 802.2 Link Service and specify the network adaptor that the link service uses.
| Parameter | Example value | Origin and description |
|---|---|---|
| Link service name | SNADLC1 | User-assigned |
| Adapter | 4 | User-assigned |
If the local server has more than one PU to the mainframe, you will need more than one link service. Each PU to a host requires a unique Local Service Access Point (SAP) address. If you are defining your first link service, use the default of 4. For a host with multiple PUs, the link service adapter number must be a hexadecimal number that is a multiple of 4, and is in the range of 04 to EC.
