Task 3: Start the Line-Handler Process

To start a line-handler process, use the WAN subsystem SCF START DEVICE

command. The command syntax is as follows:

$ZZWAN device_name

is the device name of the EnvoyACP/XF line-handler process.

Issue the SCF START DEVICE command to the WAN subsystem, as shown in

Example 1-3. This command creates the specified EnvoyACP/XF line-handler process

and allocates a logical device (LDEV) number.

Task 4: Start the Line

To start the line associated with the line-handler process, use the EnvoyACP/XF

subsystem SCF START LINE command. The command syntax is as follows:

device_name

is the device name of the EnvoyACP/XF line-handler process.

To start the line, issue the SCF START LINE command to the EnvoyACP/XF

subsystem, as shown in Example 1-4:

Reconfiguring Existing Communications Lines

Once the process exists in the configuration database (as a DEVICE object) and you

start the process by using START DEVICE, you can start, stop, and change the

associated line OBJECT’s attributes directly through the EnvoyACP/XF subsystem.

(You can also start, stop, and change the DEVICE object in the WAN subsystem.)

You must consider the scope of line attribute changes. To change a line attribute and

have it remain intact even after the system has been cold-loaded, issue an SCF

ALTER DEVICE command specifying the altered modifier to the WAN subsystem. (See

Table 1-2 for a summary of line attribute modification persistence.)

START DEVICE $ZZWAN.#device_name

Example 1-3. Starting the Line-Handler Process

-> START DEVICE $ZZWAN.#EXF01

START LINE $device_name

Example 1-4. Starting the Line

-> START LINE $EXF01
