SCF Commands and Objects
The following states are recognized by the ATP6100 subsystem:
SCF Commands and Objects
Table 6-2 lists the SCF commands and objects that are applicable to the ATP6100
subsystem.
State Description
DIAGNOSING The object is in a subsystem-defined test mode entered via the
DIAGNOSE command.
STARTED The object is initialized and ready for normal data traffic. No restrictions
govern information flow to or from the object.
STARTING The object is being initialized and is in transition to the STARTED state.
STOPPED The object is configured, there are no links either to or from the object, and
no new links may be established. A nonconfigured object cannot report
this state because the process of stopping it causes it to be deleted.
SUSPENDED The flow of information to and from the object is restricted (typically, it is
prevented). A subsystem must clearly distinguish between the type of
information that is allowed to flow in the SUSPENDED state and that
which normally flows in the STARTED or STOPPED state. In the
SUSPENDED state, the object must complete any outstanding work
defined by the subsystem.
