Optional Modifier Descriptions
AUTOLOAD/NOAUTOLOAD
The AUTOLOAD modifier specifies that when a processor is reloaded, buffer pools will
be initialized, the communications line interface processor (CLIP) will be downloaded,
and the line connection will be made for leased lines. This modifier also specifies that
when a CLIP error occurs, the CLIP will be downloaded.
The NOAUTOLOAD modifier specifies that the CLIP is not downloaded when a CLIP
error occurs.You should specify NOAUTOLOAD if you want to be able to generate a
dump of the failed CLIP.
You can set or override this modifier by issuing an SCF ALTER LINE command to the
EnvoyACP/XF subsystem.
AUTOTESTRESP/NOAUTOTESTRESP
The AUTOTESTRESP modifier enables EnvoyACP/XF secondary stations to emulate
the way SDLC handles TEST frames. AUTOTESTRESP specifies that upon receipt of
a TEST frame, EnvoyACP/XF automatically responds by echoing the received TEST
frame and any associated I-field (see Figure 3-1).
NOAUTOTESTRESP specifies that when a secondary station receives a TEST frame,
it passes the frame to the application for handling (see Figure 3-1). When
NOAUTOTESTRESP is in effect, the secondary station does not echo the TEST frame
automatically, therefore, the communications application must ensure that it has
received a TEST frame from a primary station before requesting the transmission of a
response. The NOAUTOTESTRESP modifier preserves compatibility with previous
versions of EnvoyACP/XF for handling TEST frames.

Note. The TEST frame is not defined in the ADCCP standard (ANSI X3.66); it is unique to
SDLC. The TEST frame has the same format as an unnumbered command/response frame.
