Causes an SNA node's auto-dial modem to dial.
Syntax |
 |
SNACONTROL AUTODIAL;NODE=NodeName
Use |
 |
SNACONTROL AUTODIAL can be issued from a session, a job,
a program, or in break. Pressing [BREAK] has no effect on this
command.
Parameter |
 |
- NodeName
Conditionally required. The name of the active SNA node you want to cause to automatically dial. The name can be up to eight alphanumeric characters long; the first character must be alphabetic.
If only one SNA node is active, this parameter is optional: If you do not include it, the active node is caused to automatically dial. If more than one node is active, this parameter is required: If you do not include it, a list of all configured nodes is displayed, but no node will automatically dial; you can then reissue this command with the appropriate node name.
Description |
 |
SNACONTROL AUTODIAL causes the auto-dial modem configured for an SNA node to dial.
To use this command, these conditions must exist:
The SNA node must be configured to use an SDLC link: SDLC
must be specified in the Link Type field of the "SNA
Node Configuration: PU Data" screen (see chapter 2).
The SDLC link must be configured to use an auto-dial modem but to defer dialing until this command (SNACONTROL AUTODIAL) is issued: N must be specified in the Auto Dial field of the "SNA Node Configuration: SDLC Link Data" screen, and a number must be specified in the Phone Number field of the same screen (see chapter 2).
Note that this command can be issued only after the SNA node
has been started.

 |
