You will find the remote SNA network ID and the remote SNA location 
name with the DSPNETA command on the remote system.

On the local system, you will have in your local host file (I guess it 
will not possible to use a DNS because I *think* the suffix SNA.IBM.COM 
is mandatory) the following entry :

remote ip address       RALYAS4B.USIBMRA.SNA.IBM.COM
