To Start Links and Services
To 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.
To 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.
To 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.
To Start the Network Services
Issue the following command (NM capability required) to start the network
services:
NSCONTROL START
This starts the NS3000/XL 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.
