154.0. "MRX over Ethernet with Siemens" by ROMTSS::MARTIRE () Wed Feb 03 1993 10:27

CROSS-POSTED in FORTY2::MAILBUS

I'm trying to connect to a Siemens via MRX over Ethernet.
The Siemens is running CCP-LAN2 that supports ISO 8073 class 4 protocol.

The Siemens specialist asked me to exchange only Ethernet addresses
of the two machines, so I tried to communicate using "Null Internet".
After a lot of tries, I passed to "Internet" but the Siemens specialist
who is new to OSI (me too of course...) could not give me any hint to 
build the NSAP address (more precisely the DSP).

Can anyone tell me:

1. Does Siemens CCP-LAN2 support "Null Internet" protocol?
2. If I must use "Internet" what are the Siemens defaults (pre-DSP,
   area, SEL or whatever) that allow me to create a NSAP? (I've done
   some testing using DEC defaults and other casual values with no
   results)
3. Do Siemens TSAP default to NULL?
4. Can anyone post a working MRX configuration with a Siemens (I've 
   already spent a lot of time and a further delay on the project 
   would upset the Client.

Thanks in advance,
Piero.

PPS. Of course I could have made some mistakes in setting up the VAX 
     configuration so I attach the trace at ROUTING and TRANSPORT level
     of the "Null Internet" connection. The trace of TRANSPORT of the
     "Internet" connection is almost exactly the same (apart from the
     obvious things).

154.1solution is version 3.0b10 of CCP-LAN2 ROMTSS::MARTIREMon Mar 08 1993 10:0211
    The answer n. 1 is YES they support "Null Internet" an I could
    send to Siemens MX X.400 messages. A problem exists when MX tries
    to send a message to the Vax (Siemens systems drop the connection
    with a code 84 (mismatched references) at tranport level).
    
    The problem is SOLVED now:
    Siemens developed a new version of CCP-LAN2 (v. 3.0b10) that 
    fixes their bug in dealing with calling and called TSAP after 
    the receipt of a CC packet from a VAX.
