INFO LINE Command
INFO LINE Command
The format of the INFO LINE display varies according to the line-handler process type.
The first three lines of the display are common for all line types. The rest of the lines
vary according to the line type.
Direct-Connect and Satellite-Connect Line-Handler Processes
For both direct-connect and satellite-connect line-handler processes, the display for a
LINE object without the DETAIL option has the format as shown in Example 15-3. The
asterisk (*) indicates an alterable attribute.
Name
is the device name of the line.
Address
reports the Layer 2 primary and secondary addresses (system numbers).
Delay
specifies the time interval that a data bit spends on the line during message
transmission. See Time Values
on page 15-6 for the time interval format. In this
case, Delay is 0.10 seconds. The line-handler process uses the transmission size,
the amount of delay before the message can be dispatched, and the DELAY
modifier value to select the most efficient line for data transmission within a path
that consists of multiple line logical devices. This value should match the expected
transmission delay across the communications facility.
Framesize
specifies the maximum size frame that can be sent in the network; smaller frames
may be sent. The Expand subsystem also uses the FRAMESIZE modifier value to
calculate the packet size and determine the size of the frame buffers. If the default
FRAMESIZE modifier value is used, the packet size is 132 words.
