Initiating the NetBIOS connection

Defining the steps needed to initiate a connection.

To initiate the connection, follow these steps at the sending end:

1. Define the NetBIOS station name using the MQNAME or LocalName value.
2. Verify the LAN adapter number being used on the system and specify the correct file using the AdapterNum.
3. In the ConnectionName field of the channel definition, specify the NetBIOS name being used by the target listener program. On Windows, NetBIOS channels must be run as threads. Do this by specifying MCATYPE(THREAD) in the channel definition.

   DEFINE CHANNEL (chname) CHLTYPE(SDR) +
   TRPTYPE(NETBIOS) +
   CONNAME(your_station) +
   XMITQ(xmitq) +
   MCATYPE(THREAD) +
   REPLACE
