SU Object

Use the SU (subdevice) object to define a data communications subdevice to a process.

There are two types of SUs: static and dynamic. A dynamic SU object is temporary, it

is added dynamically by a TSP or NSP process and lasts only as long as the connection

exists. A static SU object is not temporary, it is added by a TSP or NSP process, is

saved when the connection is finished, and can be reused by another connection if that

connection desires the same addresses and configuration used by the first connection.

Specify the SU type with the DELETETIME attribute.

The object-name for the SU object is su-name, and it has the following format:

$process-name

is the name of the TSP process as follows:

Local TSP process names can be up to 6 characters (the $ sign followed by 5

characters). For example:

$TSP15

$TSP10

Remote TSP process names can be up to 5 characters (the $ sign followed by 4

characters). For example:

$TSP1

$TSP5

If two or more TSP processes share the same X25AM line, the first 4 characters

after the $ sign are used by the TSP process to build the SU name and must be

unique. For example, the following three local TSP processes share the same

X25AM line:

$TSP10

$TSP20

$TSP30

#su-name

is a Guardian subdevice name indicating the desired subdevice.

Wild Card Support

Wild cards are supported for all commands that support the SU object, except the ADD

SU command. Specify wild cards in the su-name field. Examples of the su-name field

with wild cards are:

.#abc*

.#a?c

$process-name.#su-name
