configuration. You may change the PIF defaults by using the SCF ALTER PIF
command.
Step Two: PAM Configuration
Background
PAM may be started through the persistence manager, or through a TACL RUN
command. The example below uses TACL.
A PAM process is associated with a LIF of the SLSA subsystem - in a one-to-one
relationship. The LINE and PROCESS objects share the same name.
The message system access point (MSAP) allows SNAX access to PAM, SLSA, and
the TRSA.

Example Configuration
Step One: Start PAM
The following example starts a PAM process $PAM1 in processor 2 and associates it
with the LIF named TR01A. The LINE and MSAP objects take the default of coming up
in a STARTED summary state. The maximum size of a data message is 20000 bytes
(the default is 32000).
RUN PAM / name $PAM1, nowait, CPU 2/3 -LIF TR01A -MAX 20000
Step Two: Assume the PAM Process
The PAM manager (PAMMAN) is a process pair that accepts SCF (and other)
commands to control the PAM process. The name of PAMMAN is $ZZPAM.
ASSUME PROCESS $ZZPAM
Step Three: Start the LINE Object
The LINE object controls access to a LAN provided by the adapter. The name of the
LINE and the PROCESS objects are the same (there is a one-to-one relationship from
LINE through PROCESS to LIF).
START LINE $PAM1
