ASC Software
The Asynchronous Serial Communications (ASC) software controls the
DTS hardware. It provides the interface between the IEEE 802.3 LAN
and the MPE/iX operating system. The software is included with the
MPE/iX Fundamental Operating System (FOS).
The MPE/iX system tracks all of the devices connected to it by means of
configuration files. The network configuration information necessary to
initialize and control the DTS resides in a special configuration file.
This file is created through the Node Management Configuration
Manager (NMMGR). Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers, and
Other Serial Devices provides a detailed discussion of the configuration
process.
