Select this connection type if you are using one of the following to connect over a telephone line: Modem (internal or external) or External ISDN terminal adapter.
The switched line connection type has the following operating modes:
Choose this operating mode type to enable a remote system to dial into the iSeries™ server.
Choose this operating mode to enable the iSeries server to dial out to a remote system.
Choose this operating mode to enable the iSeries server to automatically dial out to a remote system when TCP/IP traffic is detected on the system. The connection ends when the data transmission is complete, and no TCP/IP traffic occurs for a specific period of time.
Choose this operating mode to enable the iSeries server to answer calls from a dedicated remote system. This operating mode also allows the iSeries server to call the remote system when TCP/IP traffic for the remote system is detected. If both systems are iSeries servers and if both use this operating mode, TCP/IP traffic flows between the two systems on-demand and without the need for a permanent physical connection. This operating mode requires a dedicated resource. The remote peer must dial in for the operating mode to function properly.
Choose this operating mode to enable a remote system to be dialed or answered. To handle incoming calls, you must reference an existing answer profile from a PPP connection profile that specifies this operating mode. This enables one answer profile to handle all incoming calls from one or more remote peers and a separate dial on-demand profile for each outgoing call. This operating mode does not require a dedicated resource to handle the incoming calls from remote peers.
