Object Attributes
SUSPENDED
The LINE object is in a STARTED state but loses contact with the SWAN CLIP
and is unable to contact it. SU objects do not change state when the line they
are associated with becomes suspended.
Object Attributes
Attributes are the named, configurable characteristics of objects. X25AM objects have
an associated set of attributes that can be set or altered using the ADD or ALTER
commands.
Each of these attributes identifies some characteristic of that object and has an
associated set of values. For example, you can change BCUG, a line attribute, by
using the ALTER command.
Depending on the action of the command, you may also be required to provide one or
more attribute specifiers (each consisting of an attribute name and value) to indicate
which of the object’s attributes are to be changed and what the new value is to be.
Default values exist for many attributes. For information about using the INFO
command to display the current attribute values for an object, see INFO Command on
page 4-26.
Required Attributes
Some attributes are categorized as required in the SCF ADD SU command and some
are categorized as optional by the X25AM subsystem. The following attributes are
required:
•
DEVTYPE
•
PROTOCOL
•
RECSIZE
For information about these attributes, see Section 5, Attribute Descriptions.
