tion partner (outstanding responses of the LLI user). This corresponds to the
necessary number of DTC responder state machines. In all other cases max RCC has
the value 0.
max SAC (maximum value of Send Acknowledged Request Counter)
For all types of connections this attribute specifies the permitted maximum num-
ber of parallel unconfirmed LLI user services to the remote communication part-
ner (outstanding acknowledges of the remote LLI). This corresponds to the neces-
sary number of DTA requester state machines.
For slave stations with no initiative and for connectionless relationships max
SAC has the value 0.
max RAC (max. value of Receive Acknowledged Request Counter)
For all types of connections this attribute specifies the maximum permitted num-
ber of unconfirmed LLI user services of the remote communication partner (out-
standing free buffer). This corresponds to the necessary number of DTA acknowl-
edge state machines).
At the master of a master-slave communication relationship with no slave initia-
tive and for connectionless communication relationships max RAC has the value 0.
ACI (Acyclic Control Interval)
This attribute specifies the receive control interval time for the idle connec-
tion control on connections for acyclic data transfer (see subclause 4.3.4.3.2).
If the connection control shall not be activated, the value 0 shall be config-
ured here. For connections for cyclic data transfer and for all connectionless
communication relationships the value 0 shall be configured for ACI.
LLI-SAP
This attribute specifies the LLI SAP which is configured for this communication
relationship. If this attribute has the value 0, the assigned LLI user is FMS.
If this attribute has the value 1, the assigned LLI user is FMA7. The LLI users
are statically assigned to a LLI SAP (see section 2.1).
CCI (Cyclic Control Interval)
This attribute specifies the control interval time of the connection control on
connections for cyclic data transfer (see subclause 4.3.4.3.2).
If this control shall not be executed at a slave, the value 0 shall be config-
ured here.
This attribute is not necessary for connections for acyclic data transfer and
for all connectionless communication relationships.
Multiplier
For connections for cyclic data transfer at the master side, this attribute
specifies how often the remote address (Rem_add) and the associated remote LSAP
(DSAP) of this CREF shall be entered in the Poll List. The poll interval of
Layer 2 may be shortened by this means. It allows connections to be prioritized
over other connections for cyclic data transfer. The range of attribute values
comprises all values between 1 and 255.
The multiplier is not necessary for all other communication relationships.
Connection attribute
It contains further information about the connection type for connection-
oriented communication relationships (see connection attributes). The range of
values comprises the values "D", "I" and "O".
"D" : defined connection (master-master- or master-slave connection)
"I" : open connection at the requester (master-master connection)
"O" : open connection at the responder (master-master- or
master-slave connection)
This attribute is not necessary for connectionless communication relationships.
