RSC/MP 7.3 Installation and Configuration Guide

Migration to RSC/MP 7.2

Method 2: Using Compatibility Mode
Piccolo Configuration File Example, UpperCase NETNAME (host):
[nif-nifnb]
ProgramFile=nifnb
NBCase=U
Alternatively, the all-lowercase convention can be used. To use lower case, provide the
special flag -net_lower when invoking RSCPIPE:
rscpipe -net_lower (
command line
)
SUBSYSTEM_CMDLINE="-net_lower" (
in RSC.INI for auto start of RSCPIPE
)
When the -net_lower flag is used on the client, the host Piccolo NETBIOS NIF
should be configured to use lowercase for the NETNAME by either explicitly setting
NBCase=L or omitting it since the default value is L (lowercase).
Piccolo Configuration File Example, LowerCase NETNAME (host):
[nif-nifnb]
ProgramFile=nifnb
NBCase=L
Asynchronous Transport
This section pertains to an RSC application using RscSetOption to set asynchronous
modem and script settings.
Code Example:
RscSetOption(ulOptionsHandle, "COM_PORT", "2", 0);
RscSetOption(ulOptionsHandle, "BAUD_RATE", "", 9600);
RscSetOption(ulOptionsHandle, "DATA_BITS", "", 8);
RscSetOption(ulOptionsHandle, "STOP_BITS", "", 1);
RscSetOption(ulOptionsHandle, "PARITY", "E", 0);
RscSetOption(ulOptionsHandle, "PHONE_NUMBER", "555-6789", 0);
RscConnect(ulsOptionsHandle, ..., &ulConnectionHandle);
By default, the RSC layer will push the required option values to the Piccolo layer,
where they will be mapped to their Piccolo equivalents if possible.
The client-side Piccolo must be configured with an asynchronous NIF (NIFASY) whose
ComDevice matches the value of the COM_PORT option established by the
application.
Note.
On the Windows platform, RSC Classic allowed the application to specify the
COM_PORT as a single digit (COM_PORT=1), which represented device “COM1”.
RSC/MP allows the COM_PORT to be specified in either form (COM_PORT=1 or
COM_PORT=COM1). RSC/MP does not provide this flexibility for the NIFASY
ComDevice setting; the NIFASY must be configured with the long form
(ComDevice=COM1)
.
