RC Command Examples
Here are examples of using the Read Link Configuration (RC) command.
Example 1. Using RC Command Defaults
NM> RC<RETURN> |
|
|
Read 802.3 Link Config from node | ||
Station Address | ||
Downloading Server Address | ||
File Server Station Address | ||
Receive Packet Filter | 06 |
|
Retry Limit | 0F |
|
Save Bad Packet Flag | 01 |
|
Extended Trace Mode Flag | 00 |
|
NM>
Example 1 shows a listing returned when all command parameters are defaulted. (The same listing would be returned if RC,,A<RETURN> was entered).
In this case ADR defaulted to 08"00"09"00"02"5A hex, which is the Station Address of the LANIC card with the lowest LU. Because the PAR# parameter defaults to •A", the values associated with PAR# entries 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10 are returned.
Because the parameters ADR and LU# refer to the same card, the Station Address indicated is the same as that of the target node. The Downloading Server Address is the Download Server Station Address stored on the card (RAM). The File Server Station Address represents the node where the Link File directory for the target node is maintained.
Since the Receive Packet Filter setting is 06, this node receives Individual Multicast, and Broadcast messages (see Table 5"4). Since the Retry Limit is 0F hex (decimal 15), this node will try to transmit a packet up to 16 times (initial attempt plus 15 Retries) until successful.
The Save Bad Packet Flag is set, so this node will save invalid IEEE 802.3 packets for passing to Node Manager software. The Trace Mode Flag has not been set, so unsuccessful packet transmissions are not returned to Node Manager software.
Example 2. Displaying a Node's Multicast Address List

In Example 2, an ADR parameter is specified and represents the target node's Station Address. Note that hyphens
