Task 7: Start an X25AM Line

After an X25AM I/O process exists in the system-configuration database (as a DEVICE

object) and has been started, you start the line that the I/O process controls using the

SCF START LINE command to the X25AM subsystem. Starting a line is a dynamic

change; the change remains in effect only until either a system restart or a subsequent

SCF change to the line.

You start an X25AM line using the following command:

-> START LINE $io-process-name

Repeat the START LINE command to start each line that has a started X25AM I/O

process. Example commands for starting an X25AM line are:

-> START LINE $X25P1

-> START LINE $X25S1

Figure 3-4 on page 3-9 illustrates the START command issued to a LINE object

controlled by an X25AM I/O process that has been started.

After the lines have been started, make sure that Activate Path is successful and that

download EMS messages appear in the EMS window.

To check if the line is up, issue the SCF STATUS LINE command. The following is an

example:

-> STATUS LINE $X25P1,DETAIL
