LOCAL_DTE_ADDRESS

Required?	No
Keyword Type	String
Field Length	1–15
Multiples Allowed?	No, only one for each PORT_X25_SPECIFIC_DATA parameter

The LOCAL_DTE_ADDRESS parameter specifies the address that was assigned to your data terminal equipment (DTE) when you subscribed to the network. The remote DTE address is the X.25 network address of the remote DTE your workstation communicates with. Each DTE link to an X.25 network is identified by its DTE address. The DTE address identifies an X.25 DTE uniquely throughout the world. It includes a 3-digit country code and a national terminal number (NTN). The first four digits of the DTE address contain the data network identification code (DNIC) that defines the country and the service within that country. The first three digits of the DNIC identify the country code, followed by a one-digit number for the service.

The value is a 1- to 15-byte character string.

This parameter is optional.

Note: The data identification code is not always required. For example, you can omit the data identification code for local calls or for a private network that uses its own addressing method. Some networks do not use the full 15 digits when assigning DTE addresses. In this case, you can use the remaining digits as a suffix for your own purposes, such as routing calls to different applications, according to the suffix of the local DTE address of a caller.
