66 C HAPTER 4: NMCS
Connected
Whenever a station successfully connects to a new host, this message is sent to the
device.
Message Lost
The TXPORT unit attempts to deliver a message to the host for the amount of time
defined in the Task to Terminal/ Host field on the line module screen. If the
message remains undeliverable after that time has elapsed, the TXPORT unit
discards the message. The message defined in this field is then sent to the sending
station.
Host Offline
When the MultiPro unit determines that a host is no longer communicating, it
sends this message to all stations connected to this host.
Disconnect Message
Anytime a station is disconnected from a host, this message is sent. This occurs if
the station connects to another host (when the connect command is used a
disconnect is automatically generated to the current host) or if the station attempts
to connect to a non-existent host.
Message from Host
The MultiPro unit can inform a station if a host other than its current host has a
message to send to it. This message is sent when the non-current host selects the
station's address.
Send Confirmed
Messages may be sent directly from one station to another using the MultiPro
unit's Send command. After a message is successfully delivered, this message is
sent to the sender.
Send Refused
When a station executes the Send command, but the message is undeliverable, this
message is generated to the sender.
Messages should not be generated to any Bisync station or any poll/select station
that is using transparent transmission numbers.
