Name of the data array that will be updated when this map descriptor is used.

The position in the data array that corresponds to device whose number is equal to the Address Parameter.

In this example device 500's state will be strored in the 0th element of the data array called

DEVICE_STATES_LOOP1

 

The range of

 

device address is

 

determined by this

parameter.

Because address is

Connects this map descriptor to a node whose name is 'node_a' and thus connects the map descriptor to a port.

This keyword indicates that this map descriptor will only be used to process device state messages. This makes the address and length parameters very important.

The device address of the first device to be processed by this map descriptor. Devices are allocated to loops. The device address consists of a mmnn format where mm is the loop number and nn is the device number.

In this example the address is set to 500 this indicated that the first device to be processed by this map desc. Is on loop 5 and is device zero.

When a Block Acknowledge or System Reset message is received the driver will set the portion of the data array

DEVICE_STATES_LOO P1 starting at Data_Array_Offset for Length number of elements to zero.
