CONNECT Command The SNAX/CM CONNECT command is used to set up call-out operations. The
syntax of the CONNECT command is as follows:
C[ONNECT] LINE line-name
[, PORT port-name ]
[, PROCESS { process-name | ( TACL , TACL-name ) } ]
[, PU pu-name ]
[, CALL { " callstring " | %Htrrmtaddr } ]
[, XID xidstring ]
return :(OUTFILE)
{ LINE line-name [, PORT port-name ]

PORT port-name
is a unique name used by SNAX/CM to identify and access a particular TLAM
I/O process for Token-Ring networks or an X25AM line handler subdevice for
X.25 networks. Up to 254 ports can be configured in a SYSGEN operation;
SNAX/CM controls each port independently and supports the connection of one
switched PU for each port. One connection can be active for each port.
If PORT is not specified, the ASSOCIATESUBDEV parameter from a permanently
subordinated PU or a switched floating line is used. If multiple PUs are supported
on a SNAX/XF line, either the PORT parameter should be specified, or the
permanently subordinated PUs should be configured using the
ASSOCIATESUBDEV parameter.
PORT x25am-su-name
is the fully qualified name of the X25AM line handler subdevice, which
provides access to an X.25 network for SNAX/XF lines using the QLLC
protocol (for example, $X25AM1.#SU1). x25am-su-name is the alternative
to the ASSOCIATESUBDEV parameter that supplies the X25AM subdevice
name.
PORT $ device. # xxxxxxx
is the name of a TLAM IOP ($device), followed by a user-supplied
alphanumeric character string that follows the naming conventions for
subdevices.
