2: BSCTRAN Commands and Options

DC 900-1406E 27

Note

The server parameter is not the server name, but is a pointer to

the server name. It is important that you read Section 2.1 on

page 20 to understand the ss

parameter.

Note that the ICP number is appended to the

server parameter using an underscore

character. If there are multiple boards, the ICP number determines which ICP board to

connect to. If desired, a dash (–), forward slash (/), or equal sign (=) can be used in

place of the underscore. If you omit the ICP number after the

server parameter,

BSCTRAN will use a default ICP number of 0. The link number is still used to select an

individual serial link on the ICP board.

The

server parameter and ICP number appear in log messages that are output to the

system output device and optionally to a disk log ﬁle and VMS operator console. See

Section 2.5 on page 33 regarding optional logging. Log messages have the following for-

mat:

VMS Format:

SSSSSSSSSS_B_N: DD-MMM-YYYY HH:MM:SS.CC Message Text

UNIX Format: SSSSSSSSSS_B_N: Day Mon DD HH:MM:SS YYYY Message Text

where:

SSSSSSSSSS = server parameter

B = ICP board number

N = link number
