This article was previously published under Q182916 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.
