Task 2: Create the Line-Handler Process

PROFILE profile_name

is the name of the profile you created for this Envoy line-handler process in Task 1:

Create a PROFILE Object for the Line-Handler Process.

CPU cpunumber

indicates the processor where this Envoy line-handler process normally executes.

ALTCPU altcpunumber

indicates the processor where the backup Envoy line-handler process normally

executes.

TYPE (7,n)

is the device type and subtype for this Envoy line-handler. Possible subtypes are: 0,

1, 2, 3, 10, 13, 30, 31, 32, and 33 (BSC); 8 (ADM); 9 (TINET); 10 and 13 (ASC);

and 40 (SIMPLEX).

RSIZE rsize

specifies the record length in bytes. The RSIZE value determines the maximum read

and write counts that the user application can specify for the line. The attribute is

required for the WAN Manager program; however, the RSIZE value does not have

any actual function in configuring an Envoy line-handler process. However, because

you must specify RSIZE, you should match the RSIZE value to the FRAMESIZE

value.

The FRAMESIZE value is specified in words, but the RSIZE value is specified in

bytes. Thus the RSIZE value should be double the FRAMESIZE value. For

example, if the FRAMESIZE value is 1018 words, the RSIZE value should be 2036

bytes.

User application programs can retrieve the FRAMESIZE value by using the

DEVICE_GETINFOBYNAME_ procedure call. Thus, if the FRAMESIZE and

RSIZE values correspond, the user application can indirectly obtain information

about RSIZE.

ADAPTER concname

is the SWAN concentrator to be used by this Envoy line-handler process. The

SWAN concentrator must have been previously defined through the WAN subsystem

SCF command ADD ADAPTER. For information about adding SWAN

concentrators, see the WAN Subsystem Configuration and Management Manual.

CLIP clipnum

is the communications line interface processor (CLIP) on the SWAN concentrator

specified by concname. Valid values are 1, 2, or 3.
