12.5.6 NODE
12.5.6.1 Overview
Command node is used to add or remove nodes from a master slave system, and
can only be ran on node masters.
12.5.6.2 Description
When setting up a repeater system, the node master needs to have information on
all the nodes in the network.
By using the node command, nodes can be added to or removed from the repeater
system. In order to get an overview of configured nodes in the network, refer to
command nodes.
Format on adding nodes:
NODE ADD <Node Serial> <Bus> <Rack>:<Slot> <Capabilities> [Baud Rate]
where
<Node Serial> is the serial number of the node (controller or repeater / element
serial number) that should be added. Serial Numbers are always exactly four
characters long. Letter 'o' is not used (to avoid confusion between letter 'o' and
digit zero).
<Bus> determines which one of the two data communication channels in the
controller that should be used (refer to target documentation for details). Valid
values are 0 and 1.
<Rack> is used in some targets (such as Optical Master Unit) to specify what
communications device is used for communication with remote node. If not used, a
'-' (dash) should be entered instead.
<Slot> is used in some targets (such as Optical Master Unit) to specify what
communications device is used for communication with remote node.
<Capabilities> is used to determine what kind of network element is to be
monitored. This should be set to 1 for H40/H50-controller based slaves, and 0 for
older slave types (H30/H12-controller based).
[Baud Rate] is an optional parameter that defines what baud rate to use on
communication between node master and actual nodes / slaves. If not supplied,
57600 is assumed. Baud rate is normally configured when adding nodes with
<Capabilities> set to 0, where data rate between node master and slaves is lower.
