Specifying message types in commands

Meridian Link Release 5C/CCR Release 3C Diagnostic and Maintenance Guide
The association services commands (described in following pages of this
chapter) provide a detailed view of the messages that pass across link 1.
Some of these commands enable you to obtain information on particular
messages, while ignoring other messages. Message types allow you to refer
to specific messages when you use Meridian Link commands.
Meridian Link Release 3 and later software assigns a message type to every
Meridian Link message. This message type (a two-byte hexadecimal
number) can be used to do the following:
¥ record all or selected types of messages
¥ filter all or selected types of messages
¥ monitor all or selected types of messages
¥ obtain statistics on selected types of messages
To see a list of message types, type help msgtypes and press [Return].
The message names used in earlier versions of Meridian Link software may
still be used in the commands described above; however, any new
messages (introduced in Release 3 or later software) can only be referenced
by message type. Type help messages and press [Return] at the Òmlusr>Ó
prompt to see a list of valid message names.
Many of the association services commands include message as an optional
parameter in the command format. You can specify particular messages by
substituting any of the following for the message parameter:
¥ message type (0801, for example)
¥ message name (Make Call, for example)
¥ all (to select all messages)
¥ allin (to select all incoming messages to Meridian Link from the host)
¥ allout (to select all outgoing messages from Meridian Link to the host)
