the IBM system to the default value which is 30.

Format:  IDLE TIMER (with no underscore).

This parameter does not apply to IBM channel links.

LINE

Resets the line parameter to null, thus removing the association
between this circuit and any line.

You cannot set the circuit ON until you have respecified the line
parameter.

LOGGING

Resets logging to the default which is to log only fatal events.
Fatal event logging is always enabled, even when other levels are
specified.

NOTE

Removes the note text for the specified circuit(s).  The default is no
note.

RESPONSE_MODE

Resets response mode to NORMAL.  This setting must correspond to the
ACF/NCP LINE macro MODULO parameter.

Format:  RESPONSE MODE (with no underscore).

This parameter does not apply to IBM channel links.

STATION_ADDRESS

Resets the SDLC station address to the default value of 01.  This
value must correspond with the setting of the ADDR parameter for the
IBM ACF/NCP PU macro.

This parameter does not apply to IBM channel links.

STATION_ID

Resets the SDLC Exchange-Identification (XID) for dial-up lines to the
default value, which is 00000000.  See the description under the SET
command for the format of this parameter.

Format:  STATION ID (with no underscore).

This parameter does not apply to IBM channel links.

Example

     1.  SNANCP> SET CIRCUIT SDLC-0 STATE OFF
         SNANCP> CLEAR CIRCUIT SDLC-0 ALL

         After you set circuit SDLC-0 to the OFF state, the CLEAR
         CIRCUIT ALL command removes the definition of the circuit.

     2.  SNANCP> CLEAR CIRCUIT CHAN-0 LOGGING

         The CLEAR CIRCUIT LOGGING command resets logging to the
         default which is to log only fatal events.


LINE

The CLEAR LINE command resets the line parameters to the default
values (if any).  CLEAR line-component ALL removes the definition of
the specified line(s) from the database.

Before clearing a line or line parameters (except for COUNTER TIMER,
LOGGING, and NOTE), make sure the line is in the OFF state.

FORMAT:

        CLEAR line-component parameter [...]

LINE COMPONENTS:

        LINE line-id

        Resets the specified line to default values (if any) or
         removes the parameters for a specific line.  Line-id
        specifies the name of the line you want to clear.  Enter the
        line-id in the format SYN-n or CQ-n.

        KNOWN LINES

        Resets all known lines to default values (if any) or removes
        the parameters for all lines.

Additional information available:

ALLBUFFER_SIZECLOCKCOUNTER_TIMERDUPLEX
FORCED_BURSTINTERLEAVELOGGINGMODEM_TYPE
NOTEPROTOCOLRECEIVE_BUFFERSSIGNALLING

Example

ALL

Removes the definition of the specified line(s).  The line must be in
the OFF state before you specify this parameter.  Furthermore, there
must be no circuits associated with this line.  Clear circuits before
you clear lines.

BUFFER_SIZE

Resets the size of the buffers used for storing messages from the IBM
system to the default value.

The default value depends on the link type.  For synchronous links,
the default is 265.  For channel-attached links, the default is 4105.

Format:  BUFFER SIZE (no underscore).

CLOCK

Resets the clocking that regulates the signals sent between the IBM
system and the Gateway to the default value, which is EXTERNAL.

This parameter does not apply to IBM channel links.

COUNTER_TIMER

Resets the logging timer interval to the default value, which is 0:
this means that the timer is not running.  Further counter logging is
thus inhibited for the line.

Format:  COUNTER TIMER (with no underscore)

DUPLEX

Resets the duplex setting of the line to the default value which is
HALF (half-duplex).  The duplex setting must be the same as that
defined for the IBM modem by the value of the DUPLEX parameter and by
the ADDRESS parameter for the IBM ACF/NCP LINE macro.

This parameter does not apply to IBM channel links.

Resets the protocol to the default value.  For SYN-n lines, this is
SDLC POINT.  For CQ-n lines, this is CHANNEL BLOCK.

RECEIVE_BUFFERS

Resets the maximum number of buffers allocated to the line to the
default value, which depends on the link type.

For synchronous links, the default is 16.  For channel-attached links,
the default is 64.  See the description of this parameter under the
SET command for guidelines on choosing a suitable value.

Format:  RECEIVE BUFFERS (with no underscore)

SIGNALLING

Resets the mode for line signals to the default value which is NORMAL.
The value for this parameter must correspond with the setting of the
NRZI parameter for the IBM ACF/NCP line macro (for synchronous links)
or to the capabilities of the channel hardware (for channel-attached
links).

Example

     1.  SNANCP> SET LINE SYN-0 STATE OFF
         SNANCP> CLEAR LINE SYN-0 ALL

         After setting line SYN-0 to the OFF state, the CLEAR LINE ALL
         command removes the definition of the line.

     2.  SNANCP> SET LINE CQ-0 STATE OFF
         SNANCP> CLEAR LINE CQ-0 FORCED BURST

         After setting line CQ-0 to the OFF state, the CLEAR LINE
         FORCED BURST command disables the use of forced burst mode on
         the channel.


LOGGING

The CLEAR LOGGING command removes or resets parameters to default for
all event logging.  Set the logging state to OFF before using the
CLEAR LOGGING command.

See the CLEAR command for individual components (LINE, CIRCUIT, PU,
LU, ACCESS NAME, SERVER) for a description of how to reset the level
of messages logged for a particular component.

         SNANCP> CLEAR LU SNA-0.1

         The first command sets the circuit SDLC-0 (the circuit
         associated with PU SNA-0) to the OFF state.  The second
         command resets logging to the default value (fatal) and
         removes any note text for LU SNA-0.1.

     2.  SNANCP> CLEAR LU SNA-0.1 AUTHORIZATION DADAIST NODE USER

         This command removes the NODE and USER information from the
         authorization entry DADAIST.

     3.  SNANCP> CLEAR LU SNA-0.1 AUTHORIZATION DADAIST ALL

         This command removes the entire authorization entry DADAIST
         from the database.


PU

The CLEAR PU command resets PU parameters to the default value (if
any).  CLEAR pu-component ALL removes the definition of the specified
PU(s) from the database.

Before clearing a PU or PU parameters, make sure the corresponding
circuit is in the OFF state.

FORMAT:

                CLEAR pu-component parameter [...]

PU COMPONENTS:

        PU pu-id

        Resets the specified PU to default values (if any) or removes
        the definition for a specific PU.  Enter the pu-id in the
        format SNA-nnn, for example, SNA-0.

        KNOWN PUS

        Resets all PUs to default values (if any) or removes the
        definitions for all PUs.

Additional information available:

ALLCIRCUITCOUNTER_TIMERLOGGINGLU_LISTNOTE
QUERY_THRESHOLDSEGMENT_SIZESSCP_ID

Example

ALL

Removes the definition of the specified PU or all known PUs (including
any associated LUs).  A PU must be inactive before you can remove its
definition or delete an LU list.  To make a PU inactive, set the state
of the corresponding circuit to OFF.

CIRCUIT

Resets the circuit parameter to null, and thus dissociates the PU from
any circuit.

COUNTER_TIMER

Resets the logging timer to the default value of 0 (this means that
the timer is not running).  This cancellation of the logging timer
prevents any further PU counter logging for the specified PU(s).

Format:  COUNTER TIMER (with no underscore).

LOGGING

Resets LOGGING to the default which is to log only fatal events.
Fatal event messages are always logged, even when other levels are
specified.

LU_LIST

Removes the definition of all LUs associated with this PU.

Format:  LU LIST (with no underscore).

NOTE

Removes the note text for the PU.  The default is no note.

QUERY_THRESHOLD

Maintenance Statistics) messages to the default value of 0.  When the
value is 0, the Gateway processes all REQMS messages it receives from
the IBM Network Problem Determination Application (NPDA).

Format:  QUERY THRESHOLD (with no underscore)

SEGMENT_SIZE

Resets the size of the frames of data sent to the IBM system to the
default value which is 265.

The value assigned to this parameter with SNANCP is ignored for
channel-attached links.  The gateway will choose a suitable value at
link connection time.

Format:  SEGMENT SIZE (with no underscore)

SSCP_ID

When you specify a particular sscp-id, any other SSCPs that you have
defined will not be cleared.  Any of these other SSCPs can activate
the PU.

To clear all the SSCPs defined for a PU, specify ALL after the SSCP ID
parameter.

Format:  SSCP ID {sscd-id|ALL}

Example

SNANCP> SET CIRCUIT SDLC-0 STATE OFF
SNANCP> CLEAR PU SNA-0 SSCP ID ALL LU LIST

After setting the circuit SDLC-0 to OFF, the CLEAR PU command removes
all SSCP IDs and the LU list defined for PU SNA-0.  You must use the
SET command to define a new LU LIST and SSCP IDs.

SERVER

The CLEAR SERVER command resets parameters to their default values.
The CLEAR server-component ALL command does not delete a server, it
resets all parameters to their default values.

For all servers, set the state to OFF before you reset the parameter
values with the CLEAR SERVER ALL command.  For the DHCF server, set
the server state to OFF before you clear the MAXIMUM LINKS, and PU LU
LIST parameters.

FORMAT:

        CLEAR server-component [component-qualifier] parameter [...]

which is none.  Must be preceded by a PU qualifier:  thus

        PU pu-id LU LIST

Enter the pu-id in the format SNA-n, for example, SNA-0.  Note that
there is no underscore in "LU LIST".

MAXIMUM_LINKS

Resets the maximum number of DECnet logical links that can be active
for the server.  In other words, the MAXIMUM LINKS parameter will be
set to the highest value supported for each server.

Format:  MAXIMUM LINKS (no underscore).

NOTE

Removes the note text from the server definition.  The default is no
note.

PU

Qualifies an LU LIST to be cleared (see under topic LU_LIST).

Format:  PU pu-id LU LIST
