Offline/Online Command

The Offline/Online command is used to take a link off line or to put it on line.

The Online command allows G3PD to open a TCP/IP connection and establishes the DEFINITY LAN Gateway connection on the specified link.

The Offline command closes both the TCP/IP connection and the DEFINITY LAN Gateway connection on the specified link(s); for these reasons, this command is disruptive and prevents future connections. Use the Online command if you want to establish future connections.

The Offline command is destructive. While a link is offline, no CSTA or CVLAN requests for that link can be processed. Furthermore, all existing device and call monitors are dropped (aborted).

A confirmation screen must be acknowledged to complete an Offline request. See Figure 3-7.
