X25AM Management Programming Manual—528037-001

5 Common Definitions
The management-programming interfaces to the X25AM subsystem make use of
definitions from four different sources: the SPI standard definitions, the EMS standard
definitions, the data communications standard definitions, and the X25AM definitions.
This section discusses the definitions from these four sources that can be used in a
management application to communicate with the X25AM subsystem. Topics covered
in this section include:
The information in this section is general information that applies to all uses of the
definitions in the interface to the X25AM subsystem. Information about a definition that
is specific to a particular command, response, or event message is given in the
description for that command, response, or event message.
All definitions in this section are represented in DDL. Structures, both fixed and
extensible, are defined by using DDL DEF statements. For a quick explanation of DDL
as it applies to SPI, refer to the appendix "Summary of DDL for SPI" in the SPI
Programming Manual.
SPI Standard Definitions
Definitions whose names begin with ZSPI- are Subsystem Programmatic Interface
(SPI) standard definitions.
Table 5-1 on page 5-2 lists SPI standard definitions that are used in the management-
programming interfaces to the X25AM subsystem. These definitions consist of simple
tokens that are used in X25AM commands, responses, and event messages; header
tokens and other special tokens that are available to all applications using SPI; token
and field values; and fixed structures and token types used in other definitions.
This table does not list SPI error numbers or definitions that are used only in error lists
associated with those error numbers, nor does it list all the SPI token values that can
be used in an application. For information about these definitions, see the SPI
Programming Manual.
