Dxlo Task And Network Id Association - Texas Instruments 990 User Manual

Constr uction and Acti vation
3.3.3.4 DXlO Task and Network ID Association.
After completing the descriptions. of the FCCC lines and secondary
stations, NETGEN prompts for the information that associ ates
specific DXlO tasks and network IDs. The resulting structures
are referred to as in};llt, or soort-form, NITs. After this
associ ation is complete, NETGEN prompts for confi rmation of the
descriptions and offers the opportunity to modify the entries.
NETGEN proceeds to prompt for task and network IDs as follows:
DXlO TASK ID (>l5 - >FF): >40
The example response, >40, identifies a DXlO task that uses the
communications p3ckage to exchange information with secondary
stations or tasks. Tasks installed on the program file
• INDSCDMM.USERPIDG must
be
assigned a tas k ID of >15 or larger.
Task IDs from 0 to >15 are reserved for the HDLC communications
package. DXlO task IDs cannot be duplicated even though they may
be on different program files. The next prompt is as follows:
DXlO TASK NETVl)RK I D (OIOO - 9999): 1124
The response to this prompt assigns a network ID (1124 in the
example) to the DXIO task ID previously entered (>40). This task
is now addressable using this ID. NETGEN continues to prompt for
DXlO t as kIDs until all are entered. When no more remai n, enter
a RETURN to the last DXIO TASK ID prompt. NETGEN now offers
choices as follows:
ADD, BUILD, CHANGE, OR DELETE (A, B,C ,D) : B
This prompt allows the user to make any desired changes before
the confi guration is bJil t by the communications system. If
NETGEN was performed correctly, enter B (as in the example) to
build the new oonfi gur ation • (If modi fi cations are requi red
enter A, C, or D as appropr i ate and ref er to par agraph 3.3.4.)
The ne xt prompt is as follows:
DO YOU WANT TO SAVE CDNFlruRATlOO
(YIN):
Y
The Y resJ;X>nse shown in the example saves the confi guration just
entered on the fil e • INDSCDMM. NETGEN.CONFIG. Savi ng the
configuration file allows changes to be made later, using NETGEN.
An N resJ;X>nse leaves the last configuration intact; that is, the
configuration file is not modified in any way. After the
response to this prompt is entered, NETGEN terminates.
Network generation creates the source files needed to operate the
DXIO primary station oommunications programs and the TX5
secondary station communications programs. NETGEN builds all the
data str uctures needed for these two types of systems to operate.
