Parameters 

DTC=dtcname           Required.  The DTC node name of the DTC on which
                      the operation is to be performed, in the form:

                      name[.domain][.organization]

                      If the domain or organization are not provided, the
                      domain and organization of the local node will be
                      assumed as the default.

FUNC=function         Required.  The function to be performed.  Possible
                      functions are STARTX25, STARTPADSUP, STARTBOTH, RC,
                      STOPX25, STOPPADSUP, STOPBOTH, STATUS.

                      STARTX25              Activates X.25 serviceson the
                                            specified card.

                      STARTPADSUP           Activates PAD support
                                            serviceson the specified
                                            card.  X.25 services must
                                            already be active.

                      STARTBOTH             Activates both X.25 and PAD
                                            support services on the
                                            specified card.

                                            the specified card.  If PAD
                                            supportservices are active,
                                            they must be deactivated
                                            prior to entering this
                                            command.

                                            card.  X.25 services remain
                                            active.

                      STOPBOTH              Deactivates both X.25 and PAD
                                            support services on the
                                            specified card.

                                            whether X.25 or PAD support
                                            is active on the cards.

                                            the global reconfigured
                                            values to be downloaded to

                                            values for cards to be

                                            X.25 card only.

                      CARD                  Causes reconfigured X.25 and
                                            PAD values for cards to be

                                            access to the X.25 module.

Discussion 
X.25 and PAD support services may both be started individually, through
the STARTX25 and STARTPADSUP functions respectively, or they may be
started at the same time, through the STARTBOTH command.  When they are
started through individual commands, the STARTX25 command must be entered
before the STARTPADSUP command.

Conversely, X.25 and PAD support services may be stopped individually,
through the STOPX25 and STOPPADSUP functions respectively, or they may be
stopped at the same time, through the STOPBOTH command.  When they are
stopped individually, the STOPPADSUP command must be entered before the
STOPX25 command.

DTCCNTRL is used in combination with the NETCONTROL and NSCONTROL
commands to start X.25 iX System Access and NS Services.  See the
examples that follow.
