Exit 7 – Auto-Answer Sign-On Time Out

Use Exit 7 to create an accounting record, or perform other functions, when the sign-on time out value for an auto-answer port expires.

Point of Processing

Process Exit Attribute
Auto-answer Reentrant

Exit 7 is called when an auto-answer task receives a phone call, but has not received any data records during the time out period. The default time out period is 5 minutes.

On return from the exit, RSCS disables the port if the port has reached the maximum number of sign-on attempts. Otherwise, the call is terminated and must be dialed again.
