o Already exists A modem connect module already exists on the specified node.
2 – line
Creates an instance of the modem connect line entity. This modem connect line entity is associated with a physical circuit on the node. Usually, there is one line entity for each circuit. Line-name is a simplename that identifies this modem connect line instance. create [node node-id] modem connect line line-name - communication port port-name [,optional arguments...] The required Communications Port argument specifies the name of the communications port to which the communications line is connected. The optional arguments for the create modem connect line command are: communications mode, duplex, connection type (Tru64 UNIX), profile, and rate select (OpenVMS). Examples: create modem connect line DSY-0-0 - communication port DSY-0-0 create modem connect line DDCMP-0 - communication port DMB-0-0, - communications mode synchronous, duplex full create modem connect line dsv-0 - communication port DSV-0-0, - profile "NORMAL"
2.1 – communications_mode
The optional Communications Mode argument specifies the communications method used on the link. Possible comm-mode values are: asynchronous and synchronous. The default value is taken from the device capability. If that is unknown, the default is synchronous. Example: create modem connect line DSY-0-0 - communication port DSY-0-0, - communications mode synchronous
2.2 – connection type (Tru64 UNIX)
The optional Connection Type argument specifies the type of connection. Possible conn-type values are: nonswitched and switched. The default value is taken from the device capability. If this is unknown, the default is switched.
2.3 – duplex
The optional Duplex argument specifies whether the line is full or half duplex. Possible duplex-type values are: full The line has full-duplex capabilities. half The line has only half-duplex capabilities. The default value is taken from the device capability. If that is unknown, the default is full. Example: create modem connect line DDCMP-0 - communication port DMB-0-0, duplex full
2.4 – profile
The optional Profile attribute specifies the name of a local profile to be used with the line. Specify the name as a latin1string. On OpenVMS, you must include the profile name in quotes. Example: create modem connect line dsv-0 - communication port DSV-0-0, - profile "NORMAL"
2.5 – rate select (OpenVMS)
The optional Rate Select argument specifies which of the line rates is to be used if none is specified when a call is set up. high The value of the "speed" characteristic is used. This is the default. low The value of the "alternate speed" characteristic is used. Example: create modem connect line DSY-0-0 - communication port DSY-0-0, - rate select low
2.6 – Exception Messages
o already exists A modem connect line entity with the specified name already exists on the specified node. o communications port in use Another entity has reserved the communications port specified in the command. Check that you specified the correct port. Reissue the command specifying another port or modify the other entity to use a different port.
