 | NCP V7R8 provides you with a means to override the normal route-discovery process for a 3745 Communication Controller (TIC1/TIC2) token-ring subarea connection. |
 | When this NCP option is selected, the connection will not become operative until the specified route is available, thus ensuring that only the predetermined optimal route is used. |
 | NCP V7R8 now separates dynamic LUs from static LUs, which allows you to define a common alert threshold for LU utilization for all NCPs in a network, regardless of differing LU pool sizes specified in different NCPs in the network. |

 | To use existing NCP media, you may need to contact your IBM representative to have your license updated to the host serial number, or, if your usage tier needs to be adjusted to the required usage tier 2. |
 | NCP then uses this information instead of the definitions that were coded during the NCP generation for this PU. |
 | NCP V7R7 enhances its current queue size alert mechanism to detect the presence of an excessive amount of data on the outbound queue for a peripheral station and issue an alert. |
