Protocol Specific Configuration

Introduction

Introduction

This chapter provides specific information on preparing the network configuration file when HDLC.FRAME is to be used.

The parts of the network configuration file relevant to HDLC.FRAME are:

Interface definitions

Port definitions

Terminal definitions

Interface Definitions

Any card with HDLC.FRAME terminals configured, must have an interface definition line in the network configuration file. This serves to associate a card (or mux) number with the physical location of the card in the machine, and also specifies the firmware to be downloaded (one file only) to the card when it is started up.

A few sample interface definitions are as follows:

Z7200A 00

0:4

/opt/acc/z7200a/loopback.zabs

The “z7200a” part will be different depending on the ACC card used. It should be set to “z7400a” for EISA cards, for example.
