Commands
LINKCONTROL
Discussion
The LINKCONTROL command returns link statistics and configuration
information or activates or deactivates link level tracing on the
specified link. The NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS and the link must be active for
this command to be operative.
If a trace option that is inapplicable for a certain link is specified for
that link, then the default for that link type will be used.
The LINKCONTROL command does not work on an X.25 link because the
link is in the DTC. For equivalent functionality, use the OpenView DTC
Manager for PC-based X.25 links or TermDSM for host-based X.25
links.
