6 MPS-B Protocol and Modifiers
This section gives a brief overview of the MPS-B protocol and describes the modifiers
that you can use to modify the function of an MPS-B communications line.
PCP6MPSB Profile
The PCP6MPSB profile configures the line for the 6100 Multipoint Supervisor-
Burroughs (MPS-B) protocol, which allows an application process executing in a
NonStop system to act as the supervisor station on a multipoint asynchronous or byte-
synchronous line. The 6100 MPS-B protocol conforms to ANSI Standard X3.28,
subcategories 2.4 (Establishment and Termination Procedure: Two-Way Alternate,
Nonswitched, Multipoint with Centralized Operation and Fast Select) and A4 (Message
Transfer: Message-Oriented, with Replies and with LRC—Longitudinal Checking).
Table 6-1 lists the default modifiers and values for the PCP6MPSB profile provided by
HP.
MPS-B Modifiers
This subsection describes each modifier contained in the PCP6MPSB profile and all
other modifiers that can be used with the MPS-B protocol. For detailed information on
