Using WSPTP NCB Applications
Using WSPTP NCB Applications
The NBX WSPTP operation is almost identical to MULTILAN. Below are the
differences:
Commands Not Supported by NBX
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 NBX:
•
SEND DATAGRAM
•
RECEIVE DATAGRAM
•
SEND BROADCAST
•
RECEIVE BROADCAST DATAGRAM
•
ADAPTER STATUS
•
SESSION STATUS
Presentation Interface
The NBX 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, NBX uses the domain name specified in the
NCB^RESOURCE field. For all other values of NCB^RESOURCE^TYPE and
NCB^VERSION, NBX 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.
•
NCB^POOL^KEY is not used.
Note. MULTILAN is not supported on G-series systems. NBX 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.
