General Command Format
General Command Format
An SCF command always begins with a keyword that identifies it (such as ADD, 
START, or STATS).
SCF controls many data communications subsystems whose individual components 
are objects. Each object has an object type and an object name. The object type 
describes the type of the object, such as LINE or PROCESS. The object name 
uniquely identifies an object within the system.
For SCF commands that pertain to an object, an object type and an object name follow 
the keyword. For example, the following command aborts the line object named 
$LIN32:
-> ABORT LINE $LIN32
This command aborts a subdevice on that line:
-> ABORT SU $LIN32.#PC
To get additional information, follow the object name with a comma and the parameters 
required to specify the action. For example, the following command changes the value 
of the BCUG attribute for a line:
-> ALTER LINE $LIN32, BCUG 200
In commands that provide displayed information, such as the INFO and STATUS 
commands, you can specify the DETAIL keyword to get a detailed information display.
The full syntax of each SCF command to the X25AM subsystem is given in this section 
starting with the ABORT Command on page 4-12. The syntax of SCF commands that 
are not subsystem-specific is given in the WAN Subsystem Configuration and 
Management Manual and in the SCF Reference Manual for G-Series RVUs or 
SCF Reference Manual for H-Series RVUs. 
SCF Online Help
SCF provides online support when you use the HELP command (described fully in the 
SCF Reference Manual for G-Series RVUs or SCF Reference Manual for H-Series 
RVUs). If you enter the HELP command, SCF responds with a menu that guides you 
through the help options; simply select from the options displayed in the menu for the 
information you need.
Version Compatibility
The current version of X25AM is compatible with G-series and H-series servers.
