You must provide at least one GATEWAY TYPE=LOCAL statement to define access to your local (IMS) gateway by remote systems. In this statement, specify the following:

• IP Address that remote systems use to establish TCP/IP connections with this gateway.
• The Port Number that remote systems use to establish TCP/IP connections with this gateway.
• You should specify a Port Number that is not a well-known port number and one that is not used by any other TCP/IP application.
• The Account ID and Password (if used) that must be supplied by remote systems to successfully establish an inbound session with this gateway
• The maximum number of concurrent inbound sessions (TCP/IP connections initiated by remote systems) that is accepted via the specified port

Make sure that remote systems are correctly configured with the corresponding IP Address, Port Number, Account ID (if used), and Password (if used). Otherwise, attempts by remote systems to connect to this gateway fail.
