REQUIRED MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS
To manage the objects that make up the EXPAND subsystem, you must
be provided with the capability to do the following:
• Define certain characteristics, or attributes, of lines,
paths, and processes.
• Find out the current values of the attributes of lines, paths,
and processes.
• Obtain information about the current paths from other systems
to a selected system.
• Determine the current states of lines and paths.
• Initiate the operation of lines and paths.
• Terminate the operation of lines and paths.
• Change the system resources used by processes.
• Obtain information about the product names and release ver-
sions of various components of the subsystem.
• Obtain statistics about the execution history of lines and
paths, the communication between two systems, or the network
traffic passing through a given system.
• Reinitialize the counters used to save statistics for lines
and paths.
• Trace the actions of various components of the subsystem.
RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER SUBSYSTEMS
EXPAND line handlers can communicate over X.25 virtual circuits,
and EXPAND lines can coincide with Fiber Optic Extension (FOX)
links, so an EXPAND network can be affected by the actions
of the X25AM subsystem and the FOX subsystem. The management
programming interfaces to these subsystems are described in
the X25AM Management Programming Manual and the FOX Management
Programming Manual , respectively.
