5.1Map Descriptor Keywords

5.1.1AM6000_TypeID

This keyword sets up a category of messages. If you are interested in device state's use the keyword device-only. If you are interested in system trouble messages use the keyword system- trbl (An alternate method for reporting system trouble messages is provided using the keyword system-styl2. )

device-only

Only device based messages are processed using map descriptors with this keyword. The Address and Length parameters define the range of devices processed using the map descriptor. A device address consists of a loop and device number. This driver treats the two parts as a single device address. Thus loop 5 device 2 becomes address 502 for this driver and a map descriptor with an address of 500 and a length of 100 would process a message from device 2 on loop 5.

system-trbl

System Trouble messages are processed a numeric value is stored in the first element of the map descriptor's data array. If a new system trouble message is processed then the value is overwritten with the new value.

system-styl2

This is an alternate style for processing System Trouble messages. If system trouble message whose index in the list below is n is received then the nth element of the data array is set to one. Make sure the length parameter is set to at least 50.

Catch-all

The use of this keyword is described in section 5.2
