Defining a TCP connection

 

The channel definition contains a field, CONNECTION NAME, that contains either the TCP network address of the target, in IPv4 dotted decimal form (for example 9.20.9.30) or IPv6 hexadecimal form (for example fe80:43e4:0204:acff:fe97:2c34:fde0:3485), or the host name (for example AS4HUR1). If the CONNECTION NAME is a host name, a name server or the i5/OS host table is used to convert the host name into a TCP host address.

A port number is required for a complete TCP address; if this is not supplied, the default port number 1414 is used. On the initiating end of a connection (sender, requester, and server channel types) it is possible to provide an optional port number for the connection, for example:

Connection name 9.20.9.30 (1555)

In this case the initiating end will attempt to connect to a receiving program at port 1555.
