26.1 Adding PhoneNet channels to the configuration file

The first step is to add the PhoneNet channel to the PMDF configuration file. PhoneNet channel names must begin with "p_", for example p_smc.

Note

For compatability with previous releases, PMDF on OpenVMS will allow PhoneNet channel names without the "p_" prefix. Such names are not recommended.

Since PhoneNet channels are point-to-point, you must create a separate channel, with its own option and script files, for each link to a remote system. A typical channel definition looks like this:


p_smc 
engvax.smc.com 

The rewrite rules in the configuration files should now be edited to refer to the new channel as appropriate. Continuing our example, a likely rewrite rule for the channel definitions shown above:


engvax.smc.com      $U@engvax.smc.com
