8.1 Summary of DLI Concepts
The DLI presents a consistent, high-level, common interface across multiple clients,
operating systems, and transport services. It implements functions that permit your
application to use data link services to access, configure, establish and terminate ses-
sions, and transfer data across multiple data link protocols. The DLI concepts are
described in detail in the Freeway Data Link Interface Reference Guide. This section sum-
marizes the basic information.
8.1.1 Configuration in the Freeway Server or Embedded ICP Environment
