The X.25 handler
You start the X.25 handler (gl_x25) when you specify -li x25 as the line
handler for a Host Links product. It is only available for the UNIX/Linux
version of Host Links, and only on some of the platforms.
Making connections using X25
Accepting a connect
The X25 handler by default does not accept connections because the ‘outgoing
only’ parameter (-OO) is by default ON. If it is set OFF products and
applications receiving connections can use the handler.
Note that the local sub-address parameter, the local user data parameter or both
must be given at startup in the command line or configuration file to take effect
and direct incoming calls to the correct product. You can start two products on
the same or two different systems and then connect from either to the other to
establish interactive communication between two terminals or applications.
Issuing a connect
X25 connections are always two-way simultaneous. Any concept of ‘turn’ to
determine who may send data must be implemented in the applications. The
handler recognizes the X.25 ‘more data’ flag, and packets with this flag are
delivered as enclosure ‘none’. It delivers the terminating packet without the flag
with enclosure ‘end of group’, and this may be interpreted as ‘turn’.
Service messages
The X25 handler accepts service messages for connect ($*$CN), disconnect
($*$DIS) and break ($*$BRK) from the communications product using the
handler. You can type them and transmit when using an emulator or concen-
trator.
