BISYNC Centralized Multipoint Supervisor Protocol
Envoy Application Programming Manual—427159-001
4-47
Programming Examples
The following conversational exchange (Example 4-17) shows the control sequences 
associated with polling the network. The polling type is specified as noncontinuous; one 
pass is made through the poll list with each call to the READ while the line is in the 
CONTROL state. In the following example, stations 0 and 1 have nothing to send, 
station 2 does.
The following conversational exchange (Example 4-18
) shows the control sequences 
associated with selecting a tributary station. In the following example, station 2 is 
selected.
Example 4-17. Control Sequences Associated with Network Poll
Supervisor (Local)  Tributary (Remote)
 CALL READ
 | (poll) EOT SYN SYN PA ENQ -->
 | <-- EOT (station 0)
 | (poll) EOT SYN SYN PB ENQ -->
 | <-- EOT (station 1)
 | (poll) EOT SYN SYN PC ENQ -->
 (READ completes) <-- message (station 2)
 error = 0
 line state = READ
 MCW.<8:15> = 2
Example 4-18. Control Sequences Associated with Selection of Tributary
Supervisor (Local) Tributary (Remote)
 (MCW.<8:15> := 6;)
 CALL WRITE
 | (sel) EOT SYN SYN Sa ENQ -->
 | <-- ACK0 (station 2)
 | message -->
 |
 |
 |
 (WRITE completes) <-- ACK1 (station 2)
 error = 0 line state = WRITE
