Table 2-1. FTAM Services (page1of3)
Service
Associated
Primitive Confirmed Description of Function
Establish
FTAM regime
F-INITIALIZE Yes Makes an association between the
initiator and responder. Establishes
FTAM regime. Is required before any
other FTAM services can be
performed.
Terminate
FTAM regime
(orderly)
F-TERMINATE Yes Terminates the FTAM association
and the FTAM regime. Valid only in
the FTAM regime. All nested regimes
must have been previously
terminated. Provides the normal
method of ending FTAM activity.
Terminate
FTAM regime
(abruptly)
F-U-ABORT No Abruptly ends all FTAM activity.
Results in an abrupt termination of
the FTAM regime and all nested
regimes. User can invoke this service
at any time after successful
establishment of an association.
F-P-ABORT No
(Indication
Only)
Abruptly ends all FTAM activity.
Results in an abrupt termination of
the FTAM regime and all nested
regimes. Provided by either the
initiator or responder when an error
occurs that necessitates abrupt
termination of the association.
File selection F-SELECT Yes Identifies an existing file for further
FTAM activity. Can select only one
file at a time. Establishes the
file-selection regime.
File deselection F-DESELECT Yes Terminates the file-selection regime,
thereby allowing selection of another
file or orderly termination of the
FTAM regime.
File creation F-CREATE Yes Creates a new file and selects that
file. Establishes the file-selection
regime. (The exact behavior of
F-CREATE depends on the value of
the override parameter. For more
information on creating files, see
Section 4, Using FTM Procedure
Calls.)
