2.1 INTRODUCTION
This
chapter provides an introduction to the UNILINK Host Adapter operation
and how it can be used in typical applications. Y
ou should refer to Chapter 5 for
the
complete command syntax and to the Glossary for help with any unfamiliar
terms. Network planning forms are located in Appendix E, Appendix F, and
Appendix
G.
2.2 COMMAND PROCESSING
The
UNILINK Host Adapter commands are a set of functional tools to help you
direct network applications. Each command consists of a one-byte command
code and one or more parameters as shown in Figure 2–1. Most parameters
have
default values that
were selected to help you quickly install an operational
network
and expand it with minimal software changes. As your network grows,
you can improve
network efficiency by redefining the parameters to match your
network needs. Figure 2–2 illustrates the relative performance and flexibility
gained
with using additional commands.
