Invoking and disconnecting from INTERCOMM
Host language applications
Host language application programs that communicate with Model 204 through
the INTERCOMM interface also can run as INTERCOMM subsystems. Refer
to the Model 204 Host Language Interface Reference Manual and the
INTERCOMM documentation for information about using host language
application programs.
Invoking and disconnecting from INTERCOMM
This section describes the steps required for connecting with Model 204
through the INTERCOMM interface, and for disconnecting from the
INTERCOMM interface.
Getting online
To connect with Model 204 using an INTERCOMM interface, follow these
steps:
1. Log in to INTERCOMM. Check with your system manager for the login
procedures defined at your site.
2. Enter a subsystem ID in the following form to invoke the INTERCOMM
interface:
verb [,channel_name]
where:
The INTERCOMM interface processes the subsystem ID, establishes a
connection to Model 204, locks the terminal to this subsystem, and replies:
CONNECTED TO M204
3. Now enter any desired system control commands. If the interface
responds with any other message, control returns automatically to INTER-
COMM.
verb Is the name chosen by the installation to identify this
subsystem.
channel_name Is optional. In a system that runs several versions of
Model 204 simultaneously, the user can choose the
desired version by specifying the appropriate channel
name. If the channel name specification is not included in
the subsystem ID, the default name M204PROD is
assumed. The channel name specification can be ignored
by installations that run only one version of Model 204.
