Clearing a Virtual Channel

This scenario is the typical way to end a virtual call following a session. This is also the process for maintaining other calls.

Activity:
User is connected to a packet-switched network, has established a virtual connection, escapes to PAD command state, and clears the call.

Refer to:
CLR command description.

Result:
The PAD clears the call, sets all PAD parameters back to their values prior to establishing the virtual connection, and returns the following result codes:

CLR CONF FAC: X 00 00 C1 04 00 00 01 03

C2 08 00 00 00 08 80 00 00 04

Example:
User calls Telnet and issues CALL command to go online with CompuServe:

Log-on:

Enter: AT&Q5 S44=3 S46=6 S48=0 W1 DT 9,5550123 <CR>

Result: CARRIER 2400

PROTOCOL: /X.25

CONNECT 2400

Enter: CALL R-311020200202 <CR>

Result: CON W2:2,P7:7,X 0277, COM

Enter: User ID: <CR>

Result: *

Enter: Ctrl-P to return to the PAD command state

Result: CLR CONF FAC:

X0000C104000000103C208000000008800000004
