DEFINE_LS
Chapter 3 267
• If the port that owns this LS is used only for
incoming calls ( out_link_act_lim on
DEFINE_PORT is zero), this parameter is
reserved.
• If the port that owns this LS is switched primary
and is used for outgoing calls ( port_type is
AP_SWITCHED, ls_role is AP_LS_PRI, and
out_link_act_lim on DEFINE_PORT is nonzero),
either set this parameter to 0xFF to accept
whatever address is configured at the secondary
station, or set it to a 1-byte value in the range
0x01-0xFE which must match the value configured
at the secondary station.
• Otherwise, set it to a 1-byte value in the range
0x01-0xFE to identify the link station. If the port is
primary multi-drop ( ls_role on DEFINE_PORT is
AP_LS_PRI and tot_link_act_lim is greater than
1), this address must be different for each LS on
the port.
For QLLC:
def_data.dest_address.address
Address of the destination node for this LS. This
parameter is used only for SVC outgoing calls (defined
by the vc_type parameter in the link-specific data, and
by the link activation limit parameters on
DEFINE_PORT); it is ignored for incoming calls or for
PVC.
The address is a string of 1-14 characters. The address
is in X.25 (1980) format; later address formats are not
supported.
For Token Ring, Ethernet, FDDI:
def_data.dest_address.mac_address
MAC address of adjacent node.
If the local and adjacent nodes are on LANs of different
types (one Token Ring or FDDI, the other Ethernet)
connected by a bridge, you will probably need to
reverse the bit order of the bytes in the MAC address.
