The following commands are used to initiate and disconnect calls to devices.
call device <device name>
Initiates a call to the specified device. The entire device name does not need to be entered; only
enough letters of the name to distinguish it from any other configured device name. For
example, you could enter call device sm if there are no other devices whose names begin
with sm . The call device command can be used to test the Dial Out capability to a specific
device. This command is available only when the Authentication mode is "On-node Device
Table." To obtain the device name, enter the Manage Mode and issue the device command.
Note that the device name is case sensitive.
To use this command for troubleshooting, you must use the System Call Trace feature to
capture any connect and disconnect messages that are generated by issuing the call device
command. To do this:
1. Erase the current report log by entering er at the system prompt.
2. Enable the Call Trace feature by entering trace on at the system prompt.
3. Issue the call device <device name> command.
4. Display the system log messages by entering the dr command at the system prompt.
5. Check the log report for connect messages relating to the remote device you are testing.
In response to the call device <device name> command, one of the following responses
will be displayed:
Calling device <device name>
Indicates that a call request process has been initiated.
<device name> could not be found in the Device Table
Indicates that the device name could not be found in the table of configured device names.
<device name> is already connected
Indicates that a connection to a device can not be initiated if there is already a connection
to that device. The call device command cannot be used to increase bandwidth for an
existing connection.
Call attempt failed
Indicates that the request could not be executed.
More than one match for <device name> found in the Device Table
Displayed if you enter just part of a device name and that part could specify more than one
device name. You will be prompted to enter the device name again, in a more specific
manner. For example, if call device Sch is entered, and there is a device configured
with the name Schultz, and a device configured with the name Schmidt, this message
would be displayed. You would then need to enter at least call device Schu to
successfully initiate a call to the device Schultz.
