SDLC Interfaces and the GWCON Interface Command
While the SDLC interface has a console process for operational purposes, the 2210
also displays complete statistics for installed interfaces when you use the interface
command from the GWCON environment. (For more information on the interface
command, refer to “Chapter 10. The Operating/Monitoring Process (GWCON - Talk
5) and Commands” on page 127.)
Statistics Displayed for SDLC Interfaces
Using the interface command, you can display statistics for SDLC devices without
entering the SDLC monitoring process. To do this, enter the interface command
and an interface number at the + prompt.
Nt Indicates the interface number as assigned by software during initial
configuration.
Nt′ Indicates the interface number as assigned by software during initial
configuration.
