SLTA- 10 Adapter Buffers
The types of messages passed between the host and the SLTA-10 Adapter are
determined by EEPROM configuration options. These options are described under
Network Interface Configuration Options in Chapter 3 of the LONWORKS Host
Application Programmer’s Guide. The Network Disable Option affects whether or not
the SLTA-10 Adapter can send and receive application messages.
The buffer configuration parameters can be changed at any time by sending Write
Memory network management messages to the SLTA-10 Adapter, either from a host
(using local network management messages) or over the network from a network
management tool. See the Neuron Chip Data Book, Appendix A, for details of the
data structures within the Neuron Chip that control the partitioning of RAM for
buffers. The following tables summarize the memory usage of the default
configurations for the respective two firmware versions resident on the SLTA-10
Adapter. The tables also list the maximum size of the buffer memory pool.
If the
SLTA-10 Adapter is configured to use more bytes than are available in the pool, it
will behave erratically since the RAM is used by the SLTA-10 firmware.
