The Modem Connect module implements one of the protocols in
the Physical layer described by the Digital Network Architecture.
NOTE
For Tru64 UNIX, the WAN Device Drivers are provided as an
installable subset within the product HP Wide Area Network Support
for Tru64 UNIX. You must install this subset before you can refer
to the modem connect module entities in an NCL command.
For OpenVMS, you must install the WAN Device Drivers from the
HP X.25 for OpenVMS product before you can refer to the modem
connect module entities in an NCL command.
1 – Subentities
The entity hierarchy for the Modem Connect module is:
Node___Modem_Connect____Data_Port
|
|_Line
The MODEM CONNECT entity is the top-level entity in the hierarchy
of entities belonging to the Modem Connect module.
The MODEM CONNECT DATA PORT entity is associated with a line and
handles the transfer of data. Data ports are created and deleted
automatically when a client of the Modem Connect module uses a
line. The port-id is the data port managed by this command.
A MODEM CONNECT LINE entity is associated with a physical circuit
on the node. Usually, there is one line entity for each circuit.
The line-id is the line managed by this command. The MODEM
CONNECT LINE entity has an extra set of status attributes
that let you examine the instantaneous status of the interchange
circuits on the line. These circuit attributes are known by different
names in the various interface standards. For instance, the
DATA TERMINAL READY attribute is the name used for the CCITT V.24
circuit 108/2, the EIA-232-D CD circuit, the RS-499 TR circuit,
and so on. For further information, refer to the Network Control
Language Reference manual.
