End the OptiConnect IP interface

The End TCP/IP Interface (ENDTCPIFC) command is used to end a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) interface. When an interface is ended with this command, datagrams addressed to the IP addresses that are associated with this interface will no longer be accepted.

This command can be used to end an interface that was previously started by the Start TCP/IP Interface (STRTCPIFC), or Start TCP/IP (STRTCP) command.

Notes:
  1. Regular and associated interfaces can be started and ended independently from starting and ending OptiConnect (when OptiConnect has ended, the interface is inoperative).
  2. Once the interface has been started using the STRTCPIFC command, the status will show 'Active' if OptiConnect is up, but only 'Starting' if OptiConnect is down.
  3. If the interface was active at one point, and the OptiConnect subsystem has ended, the status will show 'RCYPND' for recovery pending. Once OptiConnect is started, the interface should automatically go back to 'Active'.
  4. For an associated interface, status will indicate 'Starting' even if OptiConnect is up. In order for the associated interface to be completely active, the other side must also be started with OptiConnect up.
