ACTIVE Command—Vary the Connection State of a Remote CAICCI to the Online State

The ACTIVE command changes the connection state for a remote host from OFFLINE to INACTIVE/CONNECTABLE. It can optionally initiate the connection to the remote system and provide a different port number. A port number is required if no NODE/GATEWAY statement had been defined for the remote system.

This command has the following format:

A[ctive],Sysid[,Connect[,portnumber]]

sysid

Identifies the remote CAICCI that you want to activate.

Connect

Forces a connection to be made to the remote CAICCI.

portnumber

Identifies the port number of the remote CAICCI that is to be used when connecting.
