PMDF System Manager's Guide

The final piece of information needed for PhoneNet and Pager channels is the connection script to use for each particular channel , device , and script combination. The script field of an entry identifies a file containing the PhoneNet script. The script is located in a subdirectory under the PMDF table directory. The subdirectory has the same name as the channel. On OpenVMS systems, the script file would be named as pmdf_root:[table.channel]script_script. ; on UNIX platforms, the script file would be named as /pmdf/table/channel/script_script ; on NT systems, the script file typically would be named as C:\pmdf\table\channel \script_script .

Different or common files can be used for each channel, device, script combination. Each connection can potentially require a completely different script, or it can share a script with many other entries, depending on the application. Note the use of an individual subdirectory for each channel.

The format of script files is described in Section 24.5.
