Change Directory (chd)

Use the chd command to overwrite the telephone number and comments in a DATAPHONE DDD modem's AUTOCALL dialer. If the directory update option in the modem is disabled, the NMS receives an error message indicating the change cannot be made.

For most commands, NMS enables you to specify the destination for the command's results and schedule its execution. If the last page of the input form cannot accommodate the Destination for results and Schedule execution fields, an additional page is provided. For a complete description of these fields, refer to Chapter 1, Introduction.

Change Directory Input Form

The Change Directory input form contains the following fields:

Device (Required field)

Enter the device for which the telephone number is to be changed. Standard addressing format applies to the input. For information on device addressing, refer to Appendix D of the COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System User's/System Administrator's Guide.

Directory number (Required field)

Enter the number of the directory to be changed. Valid entries are from 1 through 99.

Control characters replaced by ? (Display field)

Indicates whether or not there are control characters in the comment portion of the directory.

If the telephone number and comments in the directory were entered at the front panel of the modem, the comment field may contain control characters. These control characters cannot be displayed or entered on the NMS; a question mark (?) is displayed in place of the control characters.

If there are control characters in the comment field, an error message warns you to cancel the command to avoid deleting these characters.
