Configuring BSC
FRX4000, FRX6000, and the Frame Relay Module support BSC (binary synchronous
communication) ports configured as Interactive or Batch. BSC Interactive ports are
used to connect IBM 3270 hosts to remote cluster controllers (via HPAD-TPAD com-
munication) over frame relay or X.25. BSC Batch ports are used to interconnect IBM
2780/3780 devices over frame relay or X.25.

A BSC Interactive HPAD supports up to 16 TPADs, and each TPAD supports up to
16 cluster controllers. TPADs operate in point-to-point mode. IBM's DSP (Display
System Protocol) allows a host-to-TPAD connection across the network.

To run BSC in an FRX or FRM, you must first configure the following in the database:
●
Node parameters. See Chapter 3.
●
Line Processor(s) that will contain the interface(s) to the user device(s), plus
Line Interface Card(s) supporting the ports that will be the interfaces. See
Chapter 4.

Chapter 4.
●
BSC Interactive and/or Batch protocol, as well as frame relay or X.25 if BSC
will be transported over one of those. See Chapter 4.
