Start Software Loopback
Issue the following command (NM capability required) to start software loopback:
NETCONTROL START;NET=loopbackNIname
This starts up the control process, the transport, and software loopback. Note:
when you use guided NMMGR to create any NI, a loopback network interface (whose
loopbackNIname is LOOP) is automatically generated. The loopback
NI must be started if you wish to perform local loopbacks or to DSLINE
to the local node, also some ARPA services need loopback to be started.
Start a Link
Issue the following command (NM capability required) to start a link:
NETCONTROL START;NET=NIname
This starts the link identified by the NI name. (If no previous NETCONTROL
START command was issued, then the control process and transport are also
started.) The NIname is the network interface (NI) name that you
supplied during NS configuration. You can start the link before loopback if you
want. Start other links as needed.
Start a Host-Based X.25 Link
If your network includes X.25 links and you are using host-based network
management, you will need to use the DTCCNTRL command before you
issue the NETCONTROL START command. DTCCNTRL starts X.25 and PAD
support for the DTC/X.25 Network Access card. Issue the following command
(System Operator capability required):
DTCCNTRL DTC=dtcname;CARD=cardnumber;FUNC=function
where function is one of the following:
- STARTX25
to start X.25 services;
- STARTPADSUP
to start PAD support services;
- STARTBOTH
to start both X.25 and PAD support services.
For more information on starting host-based X.25 links as well as other uses of
the DTCCNTRL command, see Configuring and Managing Host-Based X.25
Links.

NOTE: If you are starting an X.25 link for a system using PC-based
network management or if you are not starting an X.25 link, you do not need to
use the DTCCNTRL command.

Start Network Services
Issue the following command (NM capability required) to start the network
services:
NSCONTROL START
This starts the NS 3000/iX Network Services, such as Virtual Terminal, Network
File Transfer, Remote File Access, and Remote Data Base Access.
You may want to create a startup UDC or command file to activate software
loopback, the link(s), and the network services. If you do so, you must
separate each command with a brie pause to allow for processing (example:
":PAUSE 5").
