Creates the Modem Connect module. For more information about this
entity and its subentities, refer to HELP ENTITY MODEM_CONNECT.
create [node node-id] modem connect
Select line for information on creating modem connect line
subentities.
1 – Exception Messages
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.
