Optional Modifier Descriptions

To specify an extended address, enable the extended address format by specifying the

ADDRESSSIZE modifier. Note the following restrictions:

•

Extended address fields are not supported by SDLC.

•

You can use the ADDRESS modifier for a point-to-point ADCCP-NRME

configuration to specify an extended address of up to 4 octets.

•

You cannot use the ADDRESS modifier to specify extended addresses for an

HDLCADCCP-ABM configuration. Extended addresses for ABM can only be

specified through the application program.

You can set or override the ADDRESS modifier by issuing a SETMODE 17 call in an

application or by issuing an SCF ALTER LINE command to the EnvoyACP/XF

subsystem.

ADDRESSSIZE

Specifies the maximum number of octets found in the address field of a frame. The

default specifies the standard address field (1 octet) used in bit-synchronous frames.

You can specify an extended address field by increasing the number of octets

designated by this modifier.

You can set or override this modifier by issuing a SETMODE 116 call in an application

or by issuing an SCF ALTER LINE command to the EnvoyACP/XF subsystem (note

that the ADDRESSSIZE modifier is called ADDRSIZE in the EnvoyACP/XF subsystem

SCF product module).

Default: 1 (for PEXFHDLC, PEXFAABM, and PEXFSDLC)

4 (for PEXFANRM)
