2.1 Specifying the Freeway Data Paths
BSCTRAN is a Simpact data link interface application (DLI for a Freeway server or
DLITE for an embedded ICP). The BSCTRAN software calls DLI library functions. For
a description of the DLI interfaces, refer to the Freeway Data Link Interface Reference
Guide for the Freeway server. For the embedded DLITE interface, refer to the user’s
guide for your ICP and operating system (for example, the ICP2432 User’s Guide for
OpenVMS Alpha (DLITE Interface)).
The DLI configuration file defines “sessions.” These are the data paths between the
client application (in this case, BSCTRAN) and each ICP link. Using the session infor-
mation, the Freeway software is able to route data from BSCTRAN to a specific ICP link
on a specific ICP.
Simpact supplies special DLI and DLITE configuration files for use with BSCTRAN.
These files are called
dlitrancfg and dlitetrancfg, respectively. When you use
BSCTRAN, you must use these as your configuration files. The files define data paths to
many different links. By specifying the proper information in a BSCTRAN command,
you can route data to any of the defined links. The following sections describe what
information you need to specify in a BSCTRAN command to route data to a particular
link.
