Session Initiation Requests

For a link to be activated automatically, a request to initiate an LU6.2 session must come from a source in the network. All requests can be categorized as coming from one of three sources:

• An external logon request
• An external BIND request
• An internal NCL procedure request

Whenever the first session between your product region and some other network node is requested, the Dynamic Link Table is examined to determine whether the link is authorized, and establish any special options for the link.
