BUG: Our FEP4600 ESCON/FICON attached SNA gateway product fails to reconnect after loss of Downstream PU (Afte it reboots). Problem was found to be the N2 retry count is not being reset on the initial SABME/UA exchange. The subsequent SNA ACTPU is sent to the downstream PU, but does not reply within the ACK timer (one second) interval. The Ack timeout encounters a retry count > N2 and therefore sends SABME. An RR with poll = 1 should be sent up to N2 times at this point. The SNA gateway circuit does not recover. The fix is simply to add a call to the actions table to reset n2 when SABME/UA is exchanged.
