Overview
Introduction
The OFFLINE commands give you increased control of ISDN usage. They
enable you to remove individual users from their channels’ ISDN connections at
times other than those identified by the Online/Offline table.
Whether the user was unexpectedly called away, or is simply absentminded and
left the remote site without releasing the channel’s ISDN connection, as long as
you are present to exercise this command, the ISDN connections are always
accessible.
OFFLINE NORMAL (O N)
Use the OFFLINE NORMAL or O N command to request that a user release the
ISDN connection.
OFFLINE FORCE (O F)
Use the OFFLINE FORCE or O F command to terminate an active ISDN
connection without delay or warning to the affected user.
