Perle 494T configuration over WAN

[Evan Harris <spanner@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys

I have a short to medium term requirement to enable some green screens over
a WAN after we relocate a system we are managing to another site. The new
site has WAN access to the old/remote site.

I also have an old Perle 494T that could be used to provide access to the
few green screens that will remain in the short term if I can just figure
out how to configure it :) I have been testing configuration across the WAN
on another box we have as follows:

I have read the installation manual, and examined the various network
diagrams provided to see if any of them match the configuration we are
going to use. The Ethernet diagram seems close but not quite right - I get
the impression it expects the controller to be on the same LAN segment.

I have configured an APPC controller and a RWS controller ( I also tried
without creating this using autoconfig as well) as per the manual. I have
added the host table entries etc etc  that the tech notes on the Perle web
site indicate are needed. I have turned on Anynet and IPL-ed the box all
with no success.

What I don't quite see is how the remote box will communicate across the
WAN when there is no place to configure an IP address on the remote
controller - the manuals and documentation sort of allude to Anynet/SDLC
tunnelling (?) taking care of this for me, but it seems to me it wouldn't
route across the WAN. Everything I read/hear seems to indicate that it
should work but...

Does anyone have an old set of notes that tell how to do this - the Perle
manuals and software are just slightly different enough between themselves
and the configuration manual that I am having difficulty.

Alternatively if anyone can tell me that this cannot be done then I can
drop it and move on to plan B or Plan C instead of getting bogged down on
Plan A :)

Any comments - including low cost solutions about how to enable green
screens across a WAN welcome
