The SDLC hardware configuration gives the LayGO software details of the physical characteristics of the host system and installed communication hardware.
The following configuration parameters apply to the system as a whole:
| Parameter | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Board count | Number of boards installed: 1 - 4. |
| Use host DMA channel for transmitting? Use host DMA channel for receiving? |
Use or do not use the host PC's DMA channels for transmission and reception. If either is false, DMA will not be used. If both are true, DMA channels 1 and 3 will be allocated. |
The following configuration parameters apply to each installed board:
| Parameter | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Type of board | Type of board installed. 0 SDL RISCom/N2 1 Reserved 2 Digi SYNC/570i 3 GMM Sync+/MP 4 Sealevel ACB-II/EX 5 Atcomm2 or ATcomm4 6 Hardware Emulator 7 Sealevel ACB-PCMCIA 8 Quatech MPAP-100 9 ACB-MP.PCI 10 SDL WANic 405 11 Emulex Xp-Series 12 Reserved 13 Reserved 14 SDL RISCom/SA 15 Reserved |
| Chip type | Type of communication chip. 0 SCC 8530 1 SCC 85C30 2 SCC 85230 3 SCA 4 SCC 85233 5 Cirrus CD2400 6 Motorola 5572 |
| IRQ number | IRQ used by the board. |
| Line count | Number of lines to use, 1 - 8 |
| IO Base Address | IO base address. |
| Dual-ported RAM Address | Segment address of dual-ported RAM, if any. |
| Dual-ported RAM size in kilobytes | Size of the dual-ported RAM area, if any, in kilobytes. |
| Clock frequency | Clock frequency of the on-board quartz chip. |
| Memory-mapped IO base address | Memory-mapped IO base address, if any. |
| Memory-mapped IO size in kilobytes | Size of the memory-mapped IO area, if any, in kilobytes. |
| Line protocol | The physical line protocol: 0 SDLC framing with 0x7E flags, bit-stuffing and 2-byte CRC 1 Reserved 2 Reserved 3 Bisync framing with SYN characters and 2-byte BCC |
Warning: These parameters are critical to the correct operation of the communication hardware. Incorrect values may cause unpredicatble system behavior including system hangs and system crashes.
