ADD Command
•
There is no summary state transition associated with the ADD PORT command. 
PORT objects must be STARTED after they have been added. The ADD command 
leaves the PORT in the STOPPED summary state.
•
The ZPAM-VAL-PORT-TYPE-ENET subtype is invalid for the Token-Ring 
ServerNet adapter (TRSA).
Error-Handling Notes
ZSPI-TKN-RETCODE 
is the standard SPI return-code token, whose value is a number identifying 
successful completion (ZCOM-ERR-OK), an informational warning, or an error. 
Errors or warnings that can occur in response to the ADD PORT command are as 
follows:
ZCOM-ERR-TKN-REQ 
is returned when a required token is missing. You must supply all required 
tokens.
ZCOM-ERR-TKN-VAL-INV 
is returned when a field in an extensible structured token (a specified token and 
offset) has an incorrect value. You must supply a correct value for the field.
ZCOM-ERR-OBJ-ALRDY-DEF 
is returned if the specified PORT object name (ZCOM-TKN-OBJNAME) has 
already been defined by a previous ADD command. No action is required if you 
want to use the existing PORT. If you want to add another PORT object, you 
must specify a different object name.
ZCOM-ERR-MAX-LIMIT-EXCEEDED 
is returned if the maximum number of ports has already been configured in this 
particular line, or a value in a field exceeds a previously configured maximum. 
ZPAM-TKN-ERR-DETL contains an enumerated value ZPAM-VAL-MAX-
LIMIT-xxxx, which specifies the limit that was exceeded. You must specify an 
acceptable value or reconfigure the maximum limit.
ZPAM-ERR-ADDR-ALRDY-DEF 
is returned from an ADD PORT command when the LSAP port address 
specified is already in use by another port. You must specify another LSAP 
address.
ZCOM-ERR-TKN-CNTXT-VAL-INV 
is returned when the MAXREQUESTSIZE value specified in an ADD PORT 
command is larger than the MAXREQUESTSIZE configured for the associated 
LINE. You must increase the line’s MAXREQUESTSIZE or decrease the port’s 
MAXREQUESTSIZE.
