Management Commands
SESSION Object
The SESSION object defines the link station for LLC2-type connections and a SNAX
session over a token-ring LAN.
The SESSION name consists of up to eight alphanumeric characters and must begin
with an alphabetic character. The SESSION name is qualified by the LINE and PORT
names; for example, $PAM.#PORT1.SESSION1.
MSAP Object
The MSAP object is the message system access point in PAM that provides
SNAX/XF and SNAX/APN access to the token-ring LAN. The MSAP object
always is named #SNATR; for example, $PAM.#SNATR. Figure 2-4
shows the
relationship between application types and MSAP interfaces.
Management Commands
Table 2-1 on page 2-11 lists and briefly describes the commands that a management
application or user can send to the PAM subsystem.
