l One modem hang-up string. This string is used to hang-up the modem and
break the connection when DTR control does not function.
l One dial-out prefix string. This string is sent as a prefx to any dial-out
operation to specify the modem dial command and to indicate whether tone or
pulse dialing should be used.
l An &byte dial-in password string.
EEPROM storage and allocation for these strings is managed by the MIP mode EEPROM
pool. This allows flexible utilization of the SLTA-10 Adapter’s MIP mode EEPROM space.
The MIP mode pool consists of 21 blocks, each with 9 bytes of data storage space. A
string occupies one or more blocks.
For the SLTA-10 NSI mode, the EEPROM pool consists of the following strings:
l Up to five dial-out directory entries. These may be used by index to initiate a
dial-out connection, and may contain any combination of AT commands and
numbers.
l One modem initialization string. This string is used to initialize the modem as
required.
l One dial-out prefix string. This string is sent as a prefer to any dial-out
operation to specify the modem dial command and to indicate whether tone or
pulse dialing should be used.
l An &byte dial-in password string.
l A l-byte code that enables an auto dial-out on a network variable message.
l A l-byte code that enables an auto dial-out on a NSI message.
l A l-byte code that enables callback.
EEPROM storage and allocation for these strings is managed by the NSI mode EEPROM
pool. This allows flexible utilization of the SLTA-10 Adapter’s NSI mode EEPROM space.
The NSI mode pool consists of 8 blocks, each with 12 bytes of data storage space. A
string occupies one or more blocks.
The NSI mode EEPROM pool does not require the exclamation point (translated to a
carriage return) in the dial directories; whereas, it is required in the MIP mode EEPROM
pool. In addition, the NSI mode EEPROM pool does not require a null terminator on
exact sector size strings.
In the MIP mode EEPROM pool, if a string winds up ending on
the last byte of a sector, a subsequent sector is required to hold the null terminator.
The network management functions that install these strings allow incremental
EEPROM writes, and include a
total-s i ze
field. Incremental writes allow long
strings to be installed without the requirement of large buffer sizes on the SLTA-10
Adapter. If the
total-size
field is greater than the amount of EEPROM storage
space available then the network management message response will indicate a
failed status. In all cases the strings should include a null terminator.
The off
set
field in the install messages indicates the starting point in the complete
string of the current string piece to be installed.
The first byte of the complete string
is at offset zero.
If the offset is such that the string piece would not fit in the
