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.

The IBM product(s) discussed here are manufactured by International Business Machines Corp. (IBM), a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
