SNA Server Using Twinax to IBM System 36 Is Not Supported

• Microsoft SNA Server, versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.11, 2.11 SP1, 2.11 SP2, 3.0, 3.0 SP1, 3.0 SP2, 4.0

SUMMARY

Microsoft SNA Server does not support Twinax connections to an IBM System 36 (S/36) or Advanced System 36 (AS/36).

MORE INFORMATION

The System 36 and Advanced System 36 only support LU 7 communications over a Twinax connection. Microsoft SNA Server does not support the LU 7 protocol. SNA Server supports LU6.2 when communicating with a S/36, AS/36, and AS/400.

SNA Server can connect to an S/36 using Token Ring and synchronous data link control (SDLC), but cannot connect using Ethernet because it is not available on an S/36. Ethernet connectivity is supported with an Advanced System 36, which also supports Token Ring, SDLC, and Twinax.
