CONNECTION_ID

Required? No
Keyword Type Hexadecimal string
Field Length 1–16
Multiples Allowed? No, only one for each LINK_STATION_X25_SPECIFIC_DATA parameter

The CONNECTION_ID parameter permits IBM® SNA X.25 DTEs to accept or reject incoming calls based on its content.

The value is a 1- to 16-byte hexadecimal character string, specified in eight octets.

This parameter is optional.

The following rules apply to the use of the optional CID:
  1. Some IBM SNA X.25 DTEs may not support the CID.
  2. For IBM SNA X.25 DTEs that do support a CID, its use is optional on a per call basis at the discretion of the user.
  3. IBM SNA X.25 DTEs that support CIDs may reject incoming calls by transferring a CLEAR_REQUEST with the appropriate diagnostic code when the CID does not compare with the one that is expected.
