Considerations
CPU cpunum
indicates the processor where $NCP will normally execute. HP recommends that
you configure $NCP to run in processor 0.
ALTCPU altcpunum
indicates the processor where the backup $NCP will normally execute. HP
recommends that you configure the backup $NCP to run in processor 1.
TYPE (62,6)
is the device type and subtype for $NCP. The device type is always 62 and the
subtype is always 6 for $NCP.
RSIZE 1
specifies the time factor of the line for the Expand routing algorithm. The RSIZE
value must be set to 1 for $NCP.
modifier_keyword
is the name of a modifier in profile_name. modifier_keyword is added to the
device record for $NCP.
Modifier names in the PEXPNCP profile are listed in $NCP Modifiers on page 6-4.
modifier_value
is the value you want to assign to the modifier specified by modifier_keyword.
modifier_value assigns a value to modifier_keyword in the device record
for $NCP.
Default values and ranges of values for modifiers in the PEXPNCP profile are
listed in $NCP Modifiers on page 6-4.
Considerations
The modifier_keyword and modifier_value parameters do not add the specified
modifier or its associated value to the profile used by the device. Use the ADD
PROFILE command to add a modifier, or a modifier and its associated value, to a
profile.
Example
The following example creates $NCP. The MAXCONNECTS modifier for the device is
set to 10.
-> ADD DEVICE $ZZWAN.#NCP, IOPOBJECT $SYSTEM.SYS01.NCPOBJ, &
PROFILE NCPPROF1, CPU 0, ALTCPU 1, TYPE (62,6) RSIZE 1, &
MAXCONNECTS 10
