Use this command to start the following types of communication lines:
- Binary synchronous communication (BSC) lines
- Pseudo communication lines
- ATA/IATA synchronous link control (SLC) communication lines
- 3270 local communication lines.
Requirements and Restrictions
- Enter the ZLVAL command to validate the communication lines before you
enter this command.
- If you are starting a BSC line, enter the ZLTON command to validate the
station on that line before you enter this command.
- If you are starting a 3270 local line that is interrupt driven, the 3270
local device must be in start mode or interrupts will be ignored.
- This command is valid only in 1052 state, NORM state, or while cycling up
to NORM state.
- If the system is in 1052 or UTIL state, only input from 3270 local devices
that are logged on to the system message processor is accepted.
Format

- line
- is a 2-digit hexadecimal symbolic line number.
- pseudo
- is a 2-digit hexadecimal pseudo line number.
- N
- specifies the normal polling rate.
- R

Additional Information
Enter the ZLSTP command to stop communication lines.
