Summary of Configuration Steps
Summary of Configuration Steps
Once all hardware and software requirements have been met (refer to Required
Hardware and Software on page 7-2 for details), configuring and starting a single-line
direct-connect or satellite-connect line-handler process involves the following steps:
Step 1: Find an Available WAN Line
A direct-connect or satellite-connect line-handler process is configured to use an
available WAN line on a SWAN concentrator. You can use the WAN subsystem SCF
STATUS ADAPTER command to find an available WAN line on a SWAN concentrator
attached to your server. Available lines are indicated by the word FREE in the
command display.
Example 7-1 shows an example of a SCF STATUS ADAPTER command. In the
example, an available line is indicated on line 1 of communications line interface
processor (CLIP) 1 on the SWAN concentrator named S01. This information is shown
in boldface type.

Note. The SCF command syntax shown in this section is the syntax used to configure direct-
connect and satellite-connect line-handler processes; it is not meant to show the complete
syntax of the SCF commands described. Refer to the following manuals for more information:
•
WAN Subsystem Configuration and Management Manual for WAN subsystem SCF
commands
•
Section 15, Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) Commands, for Expand subsystem SCF
commands
Note. The following procedure assumes that a SWAN concentrator has been installed,
configured, and started and has an available WAN line.
