Start Software Loopback
Issue the following command (NM capability required) to start software loopback:
NETCONTROL START;NET=loopbackNIname
This starts up the control process, the transport, and software loopback. Note: when you use guided NMMGR to create any NI, a loopback network interface (whose loopbackNIname is LOOP) is automatically generated. The loopback NI must be started if you wish to perform local loopbacks or to DSLINE to the local node, also some ARPA services need loopback to be started.
Start a Link
Issue the following command (NM capability required) to start a link:
NETCONTROL START;NET=NIname
This starts the link identified by the NI name. (If no previous NETCONTROL START command was issued, then the control process and transport are also started.) The NIname is the network interface (NI) name that you supplied during NS configuration. You can start the link before loopback if you want. Start other links as needed.
Start a
If your network includes X.25 links and you are using

where function is one of the following:
STARTX25 to start X.25 services;
STARTPADSUP to start PAD support services;
STARTBOTH to start both X.25 and PAD support services.
