FMP Link Configuration
Using dlicfg
Note
In this document, the term “Freeway” can mean either a Freeway
server or an embedded ICP. For the embedded ICP, also refer to
the user’s guide for your ICP and operating system (for example,
the ICP2432 User’s Guide for Windows NT).
5.1 Configuration Overview
Section 3.1.1 on page 36 summarized your choices for performing ICP link configura-
tion. This chapter describes the FMP link configuration process using the DLI text con-
figuration file as input to the
dlicfg preprocessor program to produce a binary
configuration file which is used by the
dlInit and dlOpen functions.
If you use the DLI configuration file to define link configuration, and later need to
change a link parameter value, you must shut down your application, modify the DLI
text configuration file, rerun
dlicfg, and then restart your application using the
updated binary configuration file (you do not have to rebuild your application). If you
need to make changes to link configuration frequently, consider using the Configure
Link command (Section 3.4.1.4 on page 49) in your application.
Even if you choose not to use the DLI configuration file to define the FMP links, you still
must configure DLI sessions and TSI connections. You should be familiar with the pro-
tocol-independent configuration procedures described in the Freeway Data Link Inter-
face Reference Guide and the Freeway Transport Subsystem Interface Reference Guide.
