USER MANUAL
5.3 BASE HIU COMMANDSThe
Base HIU commands are backward
compatible with the original commands
for
the TIW
A
Y I Host Adapter
. These commands cause a direct network request
to be issued to connect and disconnect secondaries, send data to and from
secondaries, and read secondary statistics. Your applications software must
wait for a response to be returned before issuing another command if you are
using
the NITP protocol. If you are using the BDLC protocol, you can have up to
two outstanding transactions before the adapter will return the Receiver Not
Ready
(RNR) BDLC control frame. These commands are listed below
.

Poll Secondary — 03 (Available only in MHIU/EHA mode)

These commands will not be accepted by either the hosted or the stand-alone
Network
Manager modes.
