Sometimes the line that PM eServer iSeries uses is in the connect pending state. This state does not allow PM eServer iSeries to access the line. The PM eServer iSeries Line Control display allows PM eServer iSeries to vary the line off, transmit the PM eServer iSeries data, and then put the line back in the connect pending state.

When you use this display you change the PM eServer iSeries transmission task (Q1PCM1) to check for line status and vary off the appropriate line (Q1PMOFF). Once the transmission is complete, the same line is placed in a connect pending state (Q1PMON).

1. Read the warning that is shown on the first display and then press Enter.
2. Use the prompt Do you want PM eServer iSeries automatic line control active? as a master control switch for the function. If you specify YES, the PM eServer iSeries function is active. If you specify NO, the function is disabled.

   If you specify NO, you do not need to define the Line Control list again when YES is specified.

   You can vary off and on a line by specifying the line only. You can vary off and on a line, controller, and device by specifying all three descriptions.

3. Verify the line, controller, and device that you defined. Press Enter to see a summary of your choices.
4. Press Enter to confirm your choices or press F12 to return to the previous display to change your entries. When you press F3, you are taken out of the PM eServer iSeries Line Control display.
