### Communication configuration

Note: The SNA network should be set up so that the workstation that uses Remote DL/I is configured as an independent LU capable of parallel sessions.
- Set the environment variable RMTDLI_REMOTE_LU to the name of the partner LU alias.
- Set the environment variable RMTDLI_REMOTE_TP to the TP name of the Remote DL/I server.

  Note: Before you can use Remote DL/I, you must start the network software and activate the software link from the workstation.

  To prepare to use Remote DL/I, you need to do the following on MVS:

  - Perform APPC/MVS configuration.
  - Create a TP profile for the Remote DL/I server program.

    For specific information about creating the Remote DL/I TP profile see "Creating and Modifying Remote DL/I TP Profiles".
