AM3270 Management Programming Manual

INTRODUCTION

Required Management Functions

Monitoring your subsystem includes such tasks as the following:

• Obtaining the version level of the subsystem software

• Obtaining current attribute values for a line and subdevices

• Obtaining the names of lines and subdevices known to the

subsystem

• Obtaining the current values of the statistics counters for

lines and subdevices

• Obtaining information about the current states of the line and

subdevices

• Retrieving information about events occurring in the subsystem

After gaining this information, you can make informed decisions

for controlling your subsystem. Action can be taken either

programmatically or interactively with the available commands.

Controlling your subsystem includes such tasks as the following:

• Terminating the operation of a line and subdevices

• Adding subdevices to the subsystem

• Changing certain attributes of a line and subdevices

• Establishing or clearing the link between a TR3271 subdevice

and an AM3270 subdevice when using the pass-through configura-

tion

• Removing subdevices from the subsystem

• Downloading the Communications Line Interface Processor (CLIP)

• Placing the CLIP in the boot state

• Obtaining the current values of the statistics counters for a

line and subdevices

• Resetting the statistics counters

• Initiating the operation of a line and subdevices

• Changing the system resources used by a process or a line

• Tracing the activity on a line

• Taking remedial action, if necessary, in response to event
