Object States
PROCESS Object
The PROCESS object defines a CP6100 process. The PROCESS name is the same
as the name of the LINE it controls. The PROCESS can be addressed by using
line-name as follows: PROCESS line-name.
LINE Object
LINE is a communications line. The LINE name identifies the specific CP6100 line
configured in the system and assigned through the WAN subsystem. The LINE name
must be unique in a system, be preceded by a dollar sign ($), and consist of a
maximum of seven alphanumeric characters with no embedded blanks; the first
character must be alphabetic, for example, $CPL1.
Object-Specification Syntax
An object specification is a combination of an object type and an object name.
Table 8-1 shows the CP6100 object specifications.
Detailed syntax information on the CP6100 object types and the commands that apply
to them is provided when you enter the following command:
HELP CP6100 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.
