1. A cJmmand is accepted only at logon, and only as a substitute a LOGON command. The type of terminal used must be supported by bJth V,/370 and the multiple-access virtual machine. See the for details on running and gaining
access to multiple-access machines.
2. The command is not supported for the 3066 system console, for
the 3210/3215 system console, or for terminals that are using Nep lines in a 3704/3705 control unit, but is supported for 3138, 3148,
and 3158 display consoles.
3. Once the connection is made, your terminal operates entirely under
the =ontrol of that virtual machine. The DIAL command matches your
terminal to an equivalent type defined in the multiple-access virtual machine. If no matching terminal type exists, the cannot be made and an error message is issued. 4. The DIlL command, though not supported for remote 3270 terminals, is slPPJrted for locally-attached 3270 display devices. If the command is issued from a local 3270 terminal, the virtual system user must issue the CP command RESET to drop the dialed TO userid vaddr is the messaqe sent to the user indicating that a logical cJnnection has been made. 70 CP Command Peference for General Users
