NOF API Verbs (ACTIVATE_SESSION to OPEN_FILE)
DEFINE_PORT
Chapter 3350
For an SDLC port with port_type set to
AP_NONSWITCHED, this parameter must be zero. If
port_type is set to AP_SWITCHED, then the port must
be defined to accept either incoming calls
( inb_link_act_lim = 1 and out_link_act_lim = 0 )
or outgoing calls ( inb_link_act_lim = 0 and
out_link_act_lim = 1 ).
def_data.out_link_act_lim
Outbound link activation limit (the number of links
reserved for outbound activation). The sum of
inb_link_act_lim and out_link_act_lim must not
exceed tot_link_act_lim ; the difference between
out_link_act_lim and tot_link_act_lim defines the
maximum number of links that can be activated
inbound at any time.
For an SDLC port with port_type set to
AP_NONSWITCHED, this parameter must be equal to
tot_link_act_lim . If port_type is set to
AP_SWITCHED, then the port must be defined to accept
either incoming calls ( inb_link_act_lim = 1 and
out_link_act_lim
= 0 ) or outgoing calls ( inb_link_act_lim = 0 and out_link_act_lim
= 1 ).
def_data.ls_role
Link station role.
For SDLC or QLLC, the following values are allowed:
AP_LS_PRI Primary
AP_LS_SEC Secondary
AP_LS_NEG Negotiable
For Token Ring / Ethernet/ FDDI, this must be set to
AP_LS_NEG.
implicit_dspu_template
Specifies the DSPU template, defined on the
DEFINE_DSPU_TEMPLATE verb. This template is
used for definitions if the local node is to provide PU
concentration for an implicit link activated on this port.
