<p>The Verify Communications (VFYCMN) command shows the Select a Line to Test display, which can be used to verify that communications equipment is operating properly.
</p>
<p>Depending on the user's system configuration, the following tests can be run:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Link
</li>
<li>Local modem
</li>
<li>Remote modem
</li>
<li>Cable
</li>
<li>Communications input/output adapter
</li>
<li>Link Problem Determination Aid-2 (LPDA-2)
</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Restriction:</b> This command is shipped with public *EXCLUDE authority and the QPGMR, QSYSOPR, QSRV, and QSRVBAS user profiles have private authorities to use the command.

<h3>Verification type (VFYTYPE)</h3>
<p>Specifies the type of verification. You may verify that local or remote communications hardware is operating correctly.
</p>
<p>
<b>Note: </b>You cannot do remote analysis if the IBM System Manager for i5/OS program is not installed.
</p>
<p>This is a required parameter.

<dl>
<dt><b><u>*LOCAL</u></b></dt>
<dd>Communications hardware is checked to verify that it is operating correctly on this iSeries.
</dd>
<dt><b>*REMOTE</b></dt>
<dd>Communications hardware is checked to verify that it is operating correctly on another iSeries system that is enrolled as a service requester.

</p>
<p>The possible values are:

<div><h3><a name="VFYCMN.COMMAND.EXAMPLES">Examples</a> </h3>
<p><b>Example 1: Show Select a Line to Test Panel</b>
</p>
<p>
<pre>
VFYCMN
</pre>
</p>
<p>This command shows the Select a Line to Test panel.
</p>
<p><b>Example 2: Checking a Remote System</b>
</p>
<p>
<pre>
VFYCMN VFYTYPE(*REMOTE)
</pre>
</p>
<p>This command shows the panel which prompts for the remaining values of the command. After you specify the appropriate values, remote analysis begins.
</p>
<p><b>Example 3: Accessing a Remote System Using a Password</b>
</p>
<p>
<pre>
VFYCMN VFYTYPE(*REMOTE) RCPNAME(RCH38377) USERID(JON)
PASSWORD(ABC123)
</pre>
</p>
<p>This command shows the display which prompts for the remaining values of the command. After you specify the appropriate values beyond the ones specified on the command example, remote analysis begins.
</p>
<p><b>Example 4: Accessing a Remote System Without a Password</b>
</p>
<p>
<pre>
VFYCMN VFYTYPE(*REMOTE) RCPNAME(RCH38377) USERID(JON)
</pre>
</p>
<p>This command is similar to the preceding example except that the PASSWORD parameter is not specified. The same prompt display is shown, however, the system assumes that the remote system has a security level of 10, that is, it does not use passwords. Another prompt display appears after this command is specified. After the user specifies the appropriate values on this display, remote analysis begins.
</p>
<p><b>Example 5: Checking a Local System</b>
</p>
<p>
<pre>
VFYCMN VFYTYPE(*LOCAL)
</pre>
</p>
<p>This command begins analysis on the local device. The remaining parameters do not appear on the display.
