Network Interface
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "device pcl0 at uba? csr 164200 vector pclxint pclrint"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm pcl
|
|
device provides an
|
|
.Tn IP Ns -only
|
|
interface to the
|
|
.Tn DEC CSS
|
|
.Tn PCL-11
|
|
time division multiplexed network bus.
|
|
The controller itself is not accessible to users.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The hosts's address is specified with the
|
|
.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2 .
|
|
The interface will not transmit or receive any data before
|
|
its address is defined.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
As the
|
|
.Tn PCL-11
|
|
hardware is only capable of having 15 interfaces per network,
|
|
a single-byte host-on-network number is used, with range [1..15] to match
|
|
the
|
|
.Tn TDM
|
|
bus addresses of the interfaces.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The interface currently only supports the Internet protocol family
|
|
and only provides
|
|
.Dq natural
|
|
(header) encapsulation.
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It pcl%d: can't init.
|
|
Insufficient
|
|
.Tn UNIBUS
|
|
resources existed to initialize the device.
|
|
This is likely to occur when the device is run on a buffered
|
|
data path on an 11/750 and other network interfaces are also
|
|
configured to use buffered data paths, or when it is configured
|
|
to use buffered data paths on an 11/730 (which has none).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It pcl%d: can't handle af%d.
|
|
The interface was handed a message with addresses formatted in an
|
|
unsuitable address family; the packet was dropped.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It pcl%d: stray xmit interrupt.
|
|
An interrupt occurred when no output had previously been started.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It pcl%d: master.
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn TDM
|
|
bus had no station providing ``bus master'' timing signals,
|
|
so this interface has assumed the ``master'' role. This message should
|
|
only appear at most once per
|
|
.Tn UNIBUS INIT
|
|
on a single system.
|
|
Unless there is a hardware failure, only one station may be master at at time.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It pcl%d: send error, tcr=%b, tsr=%b.
|
|
The device indicated a problem sending data on output.
|
|
If a ``receiver offline'' error is detected, it is not normally logged
|
|
unless the option
|
|
.Dv PCL_TESTING
|
|
has been selected, as this causes a lot
|
|
of console chatter when sending to a down machine. However, this option
|
|
is quite useful when debugging problems with the
|
|
.Tn PCL
|
|
interfaces.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It pcl%d: rcv error, rcr=%b rsr=%b.
|
|
The device indicated a problem receiving data on input.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It pcl%d: bad len=%d.
|
|
An input operation resulted in a data transfer of less than
|
|
0 or more than 1008 bytes of
|
|
data into memory (according to the word count register).
|
|
This should never happen as the maximum size of a
|
|
.Tn PCL
|
|
message
|
|
has been agreed upon to be 1008 bytes (same as ArpaNet message).
