System Field

The system field (originating-group) contains a pattern against which originating groups are matched. The format of the pattern is area/exchange/group[!][.user], where the suffixes ! and .user are optional.

The area/exchange/group pattern may be specified in one of the following ways:

completely specified as in lc/sporty/hotrod

consisting of a single asterisk (wild card) as in *.

The originating-group suffix ! may be specified for originating-group patterns that end with an asterisk (*) wild card. The exclamation point (!) prevents the asterisk wild card from matching the local dkserver name. For example, if the local server name is camaro, the pattern lc/sporty/*! will match all originating groups in area/exchange lc/sporty except lc/sporty/camaro. This feature prevents users from calling themselves on the same host. The local server name and the group name of the host in the data switch control computer database must be the same for the ! feature to work.

The originating-group suffix .user may be used to match specific users from either specific groups or from classes of groups. The user must be specified as a decimal integer user ID to match the format provided in the call request informa- tion. The group pattern *.0 would match the user root from any originating group, while the pattern lc/sporty/*.0 would match the user root from any group in the area/exchange lc/sporty. A question mark is used to match the null user ID. Since TY6 and TY12 ports do not generate a user ID as part of the dialstring, the pattern *.? may be used to match requests from an originating terminal or modem group. Finally, the pattern lc/sporty/*!.0 on the host hotrod would match the user root from any group except lc/sporty/hotrod.
