Operating Your Network
Starting Links and Services
where function is one of the following:
STARTX25 to start X.25 services;
STARTPADSUP to start PAD support services;
STARTBOTH to start 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 Network Loopback
You must start the loopback NI if you wish to perform local loopback or
to DSLINE to the local node. Enter the following command:
NETCONTROL START;NET=loopbackNIname
where loopbackNIname is the name configured for the loopback NI. LOOP
is the default name.
NOTE If you use guided configuration to create any NI, a loopback network
interface, whose NI name is LOOP, is automatically generated.
To Start Network Services
You can start all the available Network Services with a single
command, or you can start one or more individual services. To start all
Network Services enter the following command:
NSCONTROL START
To start one or more of the individual services, enter the command
followed by an equal sign and a list of the desired services, separated by
commas. For example, to start only Virtual Terminal and Reverse
Virtual Terminal for users on remote nodes, enter the following
command:
NSCONTROL START=VT,VTR
See Chapter 7, “Commands,” for complete details on the use and syntax
of NETCONTROL START and NSCONTROL START.
