Protocol

 

Specify protocol used

Connection

 

Specify which port the device is connected to the

Identify type of device

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If this parameter is omitted the driver treats the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

configuration as a N2Open configuration and marks

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the Node_Type as N2OpenClient when using Ruinet

 

N2OpenClient,

 

Node_Type

 

to check the Node parameters.

N2Open

 

 

 

 

If the Node_Type is specified as N2Open then the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

driver still acts as N2 Open configuration but some

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

legacy port expander functionality used in some

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

legacy advanced configuration is enabled.
