Creating an SLTA- 10 MIP
Mode Driver
This chapter describes the process of building a network driver
for a host that is to be connected to an SLTA-10 Adapter in MIP
mode. This chapter also includes a description of the network
interface protocol for the SLTA-10 MIP mode. The network
interface protocol defines the format of the data passed across
the EIA-232 interface, and varies depending on the
configuration of the SLTA-10 Adapter and the network driver.
If a LONWORKS standard network driver is used, the format of
the data passed between the driver and the application is
defined by the network driver protocol and is independent of
the network interface protocol; the driver is responsible for
providing the necessary translations. This chapter will
therefore be of interest only to those needing to develop a
network driver for a host other than DOS, Windows, or UNIX.
Skip this Chapter if you are using the SLTA-10 NSI mode.
