2.10 EXTENDED NETWORK OPERATIONS

The Extended HIU (EHIU) commands provide several performance

improvement

benefits through macros and bandwidth adjustments.

2.10.1

What Ar

e Macr

os?

Normally, when the host computer issues a network request to connect,

disconnect, and send data to and from secondary devices, it must wait for the

response to be returned. Macros are network requests that are stored and

scheduled for independent processing by the HIU function. The HIU function

will issue the network request at the proper time and store the response. This

frees the host computer to issue other commands and retrieve request

responses without the burden of real-time host computer control. The HIU

function is free to schedule macro transmissions and collect responses, so that

new macro requests can be issued to the NM function while waiting for older

ones to complete processing in the secondary devices. This keeps the network

efficient

and increases data throughput.

The UNILINK Host Adapter must be configured as either a Master Host

Interface Unit or a Host Interface Unit to use the macro feature. These two

operating modes accept the extended host commands for defining macros and

collecting macro responses. Macros are not supported in the Emulate Host

Adapter

modes.
