Figure 4-3. RJE Configuration: Phonedat Screen You may supply a single telephone number or a list of telephone numbers as an optional parameter on this screen. When an RJIN or RJOUT command is executed and the line has not yet been connected, this information is used to open the telephone line. If CONNECT=DIAL is not specified in RJLINE, the number will not be sent. If autodial is not enabled (that is, manual dial), RJE/XL initiates a console request (see the following example): 10:02/#J123/45/DIAL (408) 725-8111 FOR PATH 24 (Y/N)? 10:02 is the time of day. #J123 is the job or session number. 45 is the PIN number of the process initiating the request. 24 is the physical path number (or slot) of the PSI card associated with this RJE/XL line. If the dial message has scrolled off the screen, the telephone number can be retrieved via the =RECALL or :RECALL command. The operator, after dialing the specified number, may need to enter a NO reply to the dial message if the connection could not be made (use the =REPLY or :REPLY command). For example, if the line is busy, the appropriate reply to the console request in the example is =REPLY 45,N or :REPLY 45,N, where 45 is the PIN number displayed as part of the console request. If a NO reply is received due to a busy signal or some other reason, RJE/XL will use the next phone number on the list, if any, for the next connection attempt.
NOTE Note that AUTO REPLY is in effect for the manual dial operation. That is, if the REPLY is not received and the connection has already been established, then RJE/XL will automatically cancel the console request and continue without waiting for the YES console reply.
If autodial is enabled in the RJE Configuration: Phonedat screen, the phone number is sent directly to the modem/ACU. If the modem/ACU returns a bad status, RJE/XL will terminate the RJIN or RJOUT command with an error. If more than one phone number is supplied, each successive phone number will be used with each successive RJIN or RJOUT command in which the line is disconnected and a connection attempt is made. For dial lines, the CONNECT=DIAL,telephone_number parameter of the RJLINE command will override the telephone numbers specified here. If you do not supply a telephone number in this screen for dial lines, then one must be specified in the RJLINE command. Fields Path For display only. The NMMGR branch you are in. It includes the name of the RJE/XL link you are configuring. Autodial Required. Enter Y only if you are using an autodial modem; N, if a leased line or manual dial modem. Phone Numbers Allowable characters: * Any of the 12 phone characters 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 * # * You can use dashes (-) within the number for readability purposes. * \ = enables you to wait for a second dial tone. * D = a 1-second delay character. * E = indicates the end of the phone number. This character might be required by the modem; check your modem manual for details. Do not use this unless you know the modem/ACU requires it. Example: Suppose this is typed in the phone number field: 9-DD-415-555-3216 9 is an access number to an outside line. DD means to pause two seconds before dialing the next set of numbers. 4155553216 is the number we want to dial, where 415 is the area code and 5553216 is the specific number. The dashes are included for legibility. File For display only. The name of the configuration file. Once you have entered the phone data, press [f6], the Update Data key. After the information is processed, press [f8], the Prior Screen key until you get to the RJE Configuration: Linkdata screen.
