SDLC Multidrop Primary Needs to be Remote End = Host System. (135491)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SNA Server 2.11, when used with:
- the operating system: Microsoft Windows NT
This article was previously published under Q135491 SYMPTOMS
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 systems 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.
SNA Server Admin only allows the Multidrop Primary check box to be selected
if the Link Role is Peer (negotiable). It should be set to host (primary)
for multi-drop to work correctly. The Link Role is set in the Connection
Properties dialog box. To get to the Multidrop Primary check box, from the
Connection Properties dialog box, select the Setup button and then the
Advanced button.
RESOLUTION
Microsoft has updated the file SNAADMIN.EXE to correct this problem.
