Using WSPTP NCB Applications
In PATHCOM, add sufficient TERM entries to support the peak simultaneous session
load, and use any convenient window name in the ADD TERM FILE field, for example.
SET TERM FILE $NBT.#PW01 ($NBT.#PW02 ...)
When using the DEFAULT SERVICE feature, all workstations can share the identical
configuration file.
Using WSPTP NCB Applications
The NBT WSPTP operation is almost identical to MULTILAN. Below are the
differences:
Commands Not Supported by NBT
Several NCB commands, which are not required for 6530 windows, SMB file sharing
on G-series systems, MLSRV file sharing on D-series systems, or RSC, are not
supported by NBT:
•
SEND DATAGRAM
•
RECEIVE DATAGRAM
•
SEND BROADCAST
•
RECEIVE BROADCAST DATAGRAM
•
ADAPTER STATUS
•
SESSION STATUS
Presentation Interface
The NBT WSPTP application presentation interface uses the same Extended NetBIOS
Control Block (NCB) as does MULTILAN, with a few differences.
•
For NCB^RESOURCE^TYPE, when NCB^RESOURCE^DOMAIN=2 is used in
this field and also NCB^VERSION=2, NBT uses the domain name specified in the
NCB^RESOURCE field. For all other values of NCB^RESOURCE^TYPE and
NCB^VERSION, NBT uses the default domain. Thus, the gateway and pool
resource types are not directly supported.
•
NCB^SEND^SEQ^NUM, NCB^SYNC^SEQ^DEPTH, and NCB^SLOT^NUM are
not used. Since there is no separate MLAD hardware containing NetBIOS adapters,
these fields are not meaningful.
Note. MULTILAN is not supported on G-series systems. NBT provides the same MULTILAN
APIs on D- and G-series systems, and continues to support NSK applications and remote
workstation NetBIOS applications using these APIs.
