. . . $ LOGOUT BROWN logged out at 19-APR-1991 15:04:25.27 %VT-S-END, Control returned to local end system In this example, the name of the local node is CASLON. This SET HOST/VTP command connects the user terminal to the processor at the network node named ITALIC. The remote processor then prompts for user name and password. Use the normal login procedure to log in to the remote processor. 5 /X29 Enables a connection to a host-based PAD using the X.29 protocol. Format SET HOST/X29 node-name When you are first connected to the PAD, your terminal is in data-transfer mode. You can change to PAD command mode by typing the appropriate escape character (usually ). In command mode you can obtain further help on the PAD (by typing HELP). 6 Qualifiers /BREAK_CHARACTER=character /NOBREAK_CHARACTER (Default=/NOBREAK_CHARACTER) This qualifier sets up a control character which has the same effect as entering the BREAK command. The character must be a single letter representing a control character. For example, if the character is K, acts as a BREAK key. /CCITT /NOCCITT (Default=/NOCCITT) If you use this qualifier and do not specify a DTE address you may only use the /LOG, /PARAMETER, /VMS_MODE, /PROFILE, /STATISTICS and /DEFAULT_ESCAPE_CHARACTER qualifiers. PAD will accept only CCITT commands and an A command is used to make the call. If you specify a DTE address, you may use any of the qualifiers. The PAD will make the call as requested and then enter CCITT mode. /CLOSED_USER_GROUP[=string] /NOCLOSED_USER_GROUP (Default=/NOCLOSED_USER_GROUP) If this qualifier is present with a value, the value refers to the name of the closed user group, and the parameter is the usual DTE address. When this qualifier is without a value, the DTE address parameter is assumed to be the name of a bilateral closed user group. /DEFAULT_ESCAPE_CHARACTER=character /NODEFAULT_ESCAPE_CHARACTER (Default=/DEFAULT_ESCAPE_CHARACTER=P) This qualifier changes the control character you type to go into PAD command mode. Use this qualifier when accessing a PAD from a console terminal (or on some other networking product) which interprets . Do not enter from a console terminal unless you have set the terminal to LOCAL DISABLE with the keyswitch. The keyswitch is on the front of the system that you are using. If you specify /NODEFAULT_ESCAPE_CHARACTER, you go into PAD command mode by typing multiple s ( or the host must set parameter 1 to a value greater than 1 ). /FACILITIES=(number-list) /NOFACILITIES (Default=/NOFACILITIES) This qualifier specifies a list of numbers, in the range 0 to 255, which are in the 'local facilities field' in the NCB (refer to the X.25 Programming Reference manual for details of the NCB). This list specifies some local facility not covered by the X.25 software. This field is not checked so the network may reject the call if you request an invalid facility. /FAST_SELECT /NOFAST_SELECT (Default=/NOFAST_SELECT) This qualifier makes the call with fast select requested. /LOCAL_DTE=string /NOLOCAL_DTE (Default=/NOLOCAL_DTE) The digit string specifies the local DTE address to use for the outgoing call. This qualifier is not valid if you are using X.25 Access. /LOG[=file] /NOLOG (Default=/NOLOG) This qualifier sets up a log file which logs copies of all the data sent and received by the user. This file is by default PSIPAD.LOG and is in the user's default directory. You can set the log file type in the PSI$PADLOG logical name to either NETWORK or TERMINAL (the default). NETWORK captures data on the network side of the host-based PAD, TERMINAL captures data as it appears on your terminal. Using the /LOG qualifier is the same as using the SET LOG command which assumes the default /STAMP=SENSE. The /STAMP qualifier has no effect on the TERMINAL log file. /PACKET_SIZE=number /NOPACKET_SIZE (Default=/NOPACKET_SIZE) Use this qualifier to request the specified packetsize in the call packet. Otherwise, the network default is used. The packetsize should be between 16 and 1024 and must be a power of 2. If you request a packetsize larger than the one configured, X.25 will use the largest size configured. /PARAMETERS=(parameter-list) /NOPARAMETERS (Default=/NOPARAMETERS) The parameter-list consists of compulsory keywords and optional values such as TIMEOUT=10, NOWRAP and DELETE. This qualifier is the same as issuing a SET PARAMETER parameter-list command. X.25 reads the parameter-list before you make your call. /PROFILE=(profile-list) /NOPROFILE (Default=/NOPROFILE) This qualifier is a list of profiles. It is the same as issuing several "SET PROFILE profile-name" commands, one for each profile name in the list. /PROTOCOL_IDENTIFIER=string /NOPROTOCOL_IDENTIFIER (Default=/PROTOCOL_IDENTIFIER="01") Use this qualifier to put a non-standard X.29 protocol identifier string into the 'protocol identifier' field of the call. The string is interpreted as a series of hexadecimal digits which fill the first 4 bytes of user data in the call packet. Valid values for this string are set up by the X.29 protocol. /REVERSE_CHARGING /NOREVERSE_CHARGING (Default=/NOREVERSE_CHARGING) Use this qualifier to request reverse charging in the call packet. /SUBADDRESS=string /NOSUBADDRESS (Default=/NOSUBADDRESS) If you use this qualifier, the digit string you specify is a local subaddress in the outgoing call. /STATISTICS /NOSTATISTICS (Default=/STATISTICS) This qualifier displays the duration of the PAD session at the end of the call. /THRUPUT_CLASS=number /NOTHRUPUT_CLASS (Default=/NOTHRUPUT_CLASS) Use this qualifier to request the specified throughput class in the call packet. /USER_DATA=string /NOUSER_DATA (Default=/NOUSER_DATA) Use this qualifier to specify a string of user data that is sent to the remote DTE when the call is established. The maximum size of the string is 12 characters, unless /FAST_SELECT has been specified, in which case it is 124 characters. /VMS_MODE /NOVMS_MODE (Default=/NOVMS_MODE) This qualifier causes the PAD to enter VMS mode. This optimizes communication with the remote DTE if the system is VMS V4.0 or later. Do not use this qualifier unless you are connected to a VAX/VMS V4.0 or later system. /WINDOW_SIZE=number /NOWINDOW_SIZE (Default=/NOWINDOW_SIZE) Use this qualifier to request the specified windowsize in the range of 1-127 in the call packet. Otherwise, the network default is used. If you request a windowsize larger than the one configured, X.25 will use the largest size configured. 2 FTAM This help documents the FTAM product, which implements the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) File Transfer, Access and Management (FTAM) protocol. FTAM offers several user facilities that operate on any combination of files on your system (local files) and on files on other systems with FTAM applications (remote files). These facilities include: o FTAM appending facility This facility enables you to append files by using the APPEND/APPLICATION_PROTOCOL=FTAM command. The facility allows the appending of one or more input files to a single output file, within or between FTAM applications. o FTAM copying facility This facility enables you to copy files by using the COPY/APPLICATION_ PROTOCOL=FTAM command. The facility allows the copying of one or more input files to a single output file, within or between FTAM applications. o FTAM deletion facility This facility enables you to delete files by using the DELETE/APPLICATION_PROTOCOL=FTAM command. o FTAM directory facility This facility enables you to display file attributes for one or more files by using the DIRECTORY/APPLICATION_PROTOCOL=FTAM command. o FTAM renaming facility This facility enables you to rename files by using the RENAME/APPLICATION_PROTOCOL=FTAM command. 3 File-specification The FTAM DCL commands accept any of the following file specifica- tion formats: rms-file-designation appl-address::rms-file-designation appl-address::"non-rms-file-designation" appl-address"initiator-id password account"::rms-file-designation appl-address"initiator-id password account"::"non-rms-file- designation" The following table describes the variables in these format state- ments: __________________________________________________________________ Variable Explanation __________________________________________________________________ appl-address An FTAM application address that corresponds to the FTAM responder of an FTAM system. An FTAM responder handles incoming requests for files from FTAM users. initiator-id A character string that identifies an initiator ID on the specified FTAM node. If you specify this string in a local file specification, FTAM uses the initiator ID as the user name of an OpenVMS account. password A string that identifies an FTAM filestore password. If you specifiy this string in a local file specifi- cation, FTAM uses the filestore password as the login password for the OpenVMS account identified by the initiator ID. account A string that identifies an FTAM account name. If you specify this string in a local file specifi- cation, FTAM uses it as an OpenVMS account name. To specify an account, you must also specify both a user name and a password. rms-file- A standard Record Management Services (RMS) file designation specification, which contains one or more components in the following format: (device-name:[directory-name]file-name.file- extension;version-number). Except for the file name or file name delimiter (.), all the components are optional. For local files, the FTAM copying facility per- mits standard DCL wildcards. See the "Wildcards" subtopic for more information about DCL wildcards. non-rms- A file designation whose format RMS cannot inter- file- pret. A non-rms file designation contains whatever designation information the remote FTAM system requires for locating a remote file. Enclosing non-RMS file des- ignations between double quotation marks ("non-rms- file-designation") causes RMS to accept the enclosed designation without trying to parse it. Failing to enclose non-rms file designations within double quotation marks causes an error. Note that FTAM cannot handle a remote file des- ignation that contains one or more double quotation marks among its characters. __________________________________________________________________ File designations equate to FTAM file names. An FTAM file name is a text string that identifies a file to an FTAM system. The FTAM system requesting a file (the initiator) supplies an FTAM file name to the FTAM system accepting the file request (the responder). FTAM treats FTAM file names as follows: o When you request a remote file, the FTAM initiator separates the FTAM application address from the file designation. The application address translates into the address of an FTAM application on a particular FTAM system. The file designation, which includes everything to the right of the double colons (::) excluding double quotation marks that enclose an FTAM file designation, serves unchanged as an FTAM file name. o When processing an incoming file request, the FTAM responder treats whatever string it receives for the FTAM file name as an RMS file designation. 2 MOP Connects your system to a remote system using the MOP protocol. 2 X.25 The X.25 software is the interface for packet switching data networks (PSDNs). 2 VTP Virtual Terminal software is a communications component for terminal access between open systems. Virtual Terminal may act as the initiator/terminal (for a local user) or as the responder/host (for the remote user). Supported Standards: Virtual Terminal conforms to the following ISO standards: o ISO 9041 - Virtual Terminal Protocol - Basic Class o ISO 8650 - ACSE protocol o ISO 8823 - Presentation protocol o ISO 8327 - Session protocol Virtual Terminal Features: o Class of Service - Basic class (character cell terminals) o Mode of Operation - Asynchronous Mode (A-Mode) o Profile Support - Default A-Mode - Telnet-1988 (A-Mode) - Transparent (A-Mode) - Generalized Telnet (A-Mode) o Functional Units - Break o Supported Gateways - Bidirectional VT/LAT - Bidirectional VT/Telnet Tracing Utility: The Virtual Terminal tracing utility, provided by SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]OSITRACE.EXE, is a tool for identifying problems in protocol exchanges between your local system and any remote system. The tracing utility captures protocol exchanges and transcribes them into easily readable text. The Virtual Terminal tracing utility monitors data exchanges for individual associations. The tracing utility can trace data originating from the following components: VT, ACSE, Presentation, and Session.
