CONNECT Command
SNAX/CM Commands
097842 Tandem Computers Incorporated 3–5
If a PU is selected using pu-name and it has been configured by SCF using a
CALLADDR parameter that does not match callstring , the CONNECT
command is rejected. For a SNAX/XF line, callstring is used in place of the
default CALLADDR parameter if CALLADDR was not specified for the PU using
SCF.
If pu-name is not specified, callstring can be used to select a PU as follows:
With one PU on a line, callstring can be used to select a PU from the
switched floating PUs configured in the service manager.
With multiple PUs on a line, callstring can be used to select a PU from the
PUs configured on the line.
XID xidstring
is a hexadecimal string containing the PU XID information that identifies the
secondary PU. The maximum number of bytes in xidstring is 256. However,
SNAX/XF currently supports only a 4-byte (32-bit) xidstring , comprised of a
12-bit PUIDBLK field followed by a 20-bit PUIDNUM field. Specify xidstring
as %Hnnnnnnnn , in which the first three digits are the value for PUIDBLK, and the
remaining five digits are the value for PUIDNUM.
If a PU is selected using pu-name and the selected PU has been configured by SCF
PUIDNUM and PUIDBLK parameters that do not match xidstring , the
CONNECT command is rejected. For a SNAX/XF line, xidstring is used in
place of the default PUIDNUM and PUIDBLK parameters if PUIDNUM and
PUIDBLK were not specified for the PU using SCF.
If pu-name is not specified, xidstring can be used to select a PU as follows:
With one PU on a line, xidstring can be used to select a PU from the
switched floating PUs configured in the service manager.
With multiple PUs on a line, xidstring can be used to select a PU from the
PUs configured on the line.
return : (OUTFILE)
if received from the IN file, specifies the text message to be returned to the OUT
file. See Appendix B for detailed descriptions of error messages.
return : ($RECEIVE)
if received from the $RECEIVE file, returns a structured buffer that includes any
return codes and file-system error messages. See Appendix B for detailed
descriptions of these codes and messages.
