Object States
SU Object
The SU object defines a specific device of an ATP6100 LINE. The SU name identifies
the specific subdevice configured on a single LINE. An SU name must be unique within
a single line, be preceded by a pound sign (#), and consist of a maximum of seven
alphanumeric characters; the first character must be alphabetic, for example,
$ATPS1.#TERM.
Object-Specification Syntax
An object specification is a combination of an object type and an object name.
Table 6-1 shows the ATP6100 object specifications.
Detailed syntax information on the ATP6100 object types and the commands that
apply to them is provided when you enter the following command:
HELP ATP6100 object-type [ command ]
Object States
Objects can have operational states such as STOPPED, STARTED, or DIAGNOSING.
The exact sequence of states an object goes through varies from object to object and
from subsystem to subsystem. Some subsystem commands recognize only a few
states. Applicable states for the CP6100 subsystem are discussed below.
The operational state of an object at a given instant is important. For example, certain
commands have no effect on an object when the object is in a particular state but can
affect the object when it is in another state.
For more information on SCF states, refer to the SCF Reference Manual for G-Series
RVUs or SCF Reference Manual for H-Series RVUs.
