5.19.4.1. First-Time Loading of the NI BRI Protocol Data Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

The protocol for the NI BRI interface must be on the hard disk before you configure the system.
  • Check whether the NI BRI protocol data has already been loaded from the hard disk.
    DISPLAY-PRODE:SRC=DB,KIND=PDSHORT;
    
    If the NI BRI protocol is already available, the following entry appears in the column under PDSTRING:
    "S0-BUS NI-BRI GR-268-CORE"
    If the column is empty, you can supply the protocol with one of the two following methods:
    Load only the missing portion of the NI BRI protocol data.
    Load a collection of all US-specific protocol data at the same time (among the data is the NI BRI protocol).
    For method (1) above, simply load the missing NI BRI protocol data separately in the above DISPLAY-PRODE output. Determine the first available index PDxy (column PDNAME) without a PDSTRING description. This is the index where the NI BRI protocol data can be loaded.
    In this example, PDNAME=PD11.
  • In the next step, determine the PDNO index used to store the original NI BRI protocol data.
    DISPLAY-PRODE:SRC=HD,KIND=PDSHORT;
    
    In this example, PDNO=41
  • Now you can load the NI BRI protocol data from the hard disk in DB ... */
    COPY-PRODE:KIND=PD,PDNO=41,PDNAME=PD11;
    
  • Release of the protocol for CP */
    CHANGE-PRODE:KIND=PD,PDNAME=PD11,SEC=ORG,ACTIVE=Y;
    
    To load all US-specific protocol data simultaneously with method (2), determine the PVCDNO index used for storing the collection of US protocol data on the hard disk.
    DISPLAY-PRODE:SRC=HD,KIND=PVCDSHRT;
    
    The overview display must contain a line with "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" (column DESCRIPTION).
    In this example, PVCDNO=16 is the index for this line.
  • Now you can load the US protocol collection from the hard disk in DB ... */
    COPY-PRODE: KIND=PVCD, PVCDNO=16;
    
    When you use this method, you do not have to release the new protocol data for CP*/.
