Network Name
Enter a Network Name. Obtain the correct name from the host or peer administrator. If you will be connecting to a host system with VTAM, the Network Name for an APPC LU that communicates with a host should match the NETID parameter in the VTAM Start command for the VTAM system.
LU Name
Enter the LU Name.
A name identifying an LU. The name can be from one through eight characters long and can contain alphanumeric characters and the special characters $, #, and @. Lowercase letters are converted to uppercase. The name cannot be the same as any other LU name or pool name (except for APPC LU names) on the server.
For communication with an IBM i, make the remote LU name the same as the name of the IBM i.

Comment
Optionally, enter a comment of not more than 25 characters.
