Summary of changes for Release 18
Release 18 and later have the following changes made to LD 17.
— The new four-port Multi-purpose Serial Data Link or MSDL card can
accommodate AML Application Module Links and/or D-channels.
— Application Module Link is a new term used in Release 18. AML is a
general name for links using an ESDI port such as CSL and Meridian
Link. These links can now use a port on an MSDL card.
— D-channels and AML ports are now addressed by logical port number
instead of the physical address.
— The logical number is defined at the ADAN prompt ADAN NEW DCH
0-63 or ADAN NEW AML 0-15. The association to the device number
or physical address is defined at the DNUM prompt.
— The MSDL card takes only one of the 16 I/O addresses. The MSDL
device number 0-15 cannot conflict with an existing SDI, ESDI or DCHI
address.
— With the MSDL, the system now supports up to 64 D-channels, 16 AML
ports, or 16 SDI ports.
— The IOTB and ISDN prompt sequences have been replaced by a new
ADAN prompt sequence. This is used to configure all I/O devices
including D-channels.
— Incremental Software Management or ISM now controls the number of
D-channels and AMLs. The system also outputs the available
D-channels and AMLs as follows:
> LD 17
DCH AVAIL: 07 USED: 08 TOT: 15
AML AVAIL: 05 USED: 03 TOT: 8
REQ CHG
TYPE CFN
ADAN
— After adding or changing an I/O device via the ADAN prompt sequence,
the data is saved before ADAN is reprompted. This allows you to exit
LD 17 with **** after I/O changes without having to carriage return
through the remaining prompts. One of the following is output:
