Specifies whether VTAM, the device, or both can set
up switched connections over the line to which this operand applies.
The CALL operand acts as a security device.
- CALL=IN
- Specifies that the line is used only for terminal-initiated connections.
- CALL=INOUT
- Specifies that the line is used for connections initiated by terminals, in addition to connections initiated by VTAM, the VTAM operator, or application programs.
- CALL=OUT
- Specifies that the line is used only for outgoing calls.
Note:
- If you code CALL=OUT, or if you code CALL=INOUT without coding an AUTO operand, outgoing calls are dialed by the operator in response to a VTAM console message. For switched subarea lines with CALL=OUT or CALL=INOUT, AUTO is required. There are no VTAM restrictions on CALL=OUT.
- This operand is valid only if DIAL=YES on the GROUP definition statement, and applies only to line operation in network control mode.
- CALL=OUT is not supported by non-SNA terminals using Network Terminal Option (NTO).
