MBX Bridge Help
Cyberlogic Technologies Inc. - 40 -
Note
The MBX Driver allows a nearly unlimited number of simultaneous data master path
transactions. The driver allows up to 65,535 logical DM paths to share the eight
physical DM paths on the host interface adapter. Program master paths are still limited
to a maximum of eight, however.
This technique is highly efficient, so most users should configure the MBX Bridge to use
an unlimited number of DM paths. Users who are concerned with the amount of
memory used by the MBX Bridge may still limit the maximum number of DM paths.
Max. PM Paths
This parameter allows you to limit the number of program master paths that the device

data.
