When the Host Option for TCP/IP is installed, a list of client IP addresses to be permitted or rejected is created (the Link Configuration Guide describes how to create this list). If the Host Option for TCP/IP receives a request from a client that is not in this list, a WTOR message is issued to the system console.
The operator can issue a PERMIT to accept the connection or REJECT to reject the connection. Issuing a PERMIT temporarily grants access to the requesting client.
The following example shows a WTOR message followed by both possible operator responses:
@08 Enter XDBLINK Action Command for IP: 204.177.148.64 R 8,PERMIT R 8,REJECT
