AT&T R1V2 manual Action Groups

Here is an example of the T (target select) command with PDC (Main Menu item 2): You see:

PDC = 9876 Action = 1 Data = 201

You enter T 8765 (Return) and see:

>PDC = 8765 Action =

Action Groups

Some action numbers are part of groups. These groups are sets of closely related system parameters that need to be changed as a group. For example, when you assign a voice terminal, you must also assign a PDC. (See the example at the end of this section. ) Action groups are marked with [AG] in the administration procedures.

The number of actions may vary from group to group, but no group contains more than five actions. All action values within a particular group are consecutive. Within a group, whenever you change a parameter, the system advances you automatically to the next action; this process continues through the last action in that group.

After modifying a parameter that is part of an action group, you must complete the modifications to the group by entering data values for the remaining action numbers. This protects System 25 from acting on partially complete data. When changing data values associated with these groups of action numbers you automatically advance to the next action after you change the data value.

You change action numbers with the A command as before.

Note If you change to an action number outside of the group you are currently in, all the data values entered for that group remain as they were before you began modifying the group. In other words, if you leave a group (by selecting an action outside the group) before entering the last data value for that group, all changes for that group are abandoned.

Here is an example of administering an action group:

You see:

Port = 10408 Action = 1 Data = 0

You enter D 207 (Return) and see:

>Data = 201

Port = 10408 Action = 1 Data = 201

>

Port = 10408 Action = 2 Data = 0

>Data =

Notice in the fourth line of this display how the system automatically brings up the next member of the group.
