IOCTL_FARC_INIT
Purpose: initialization of the driver
Parameter:
IN: struct ARCNET_DCB (declared in FARC.H)
OUT: -
Possible errors (see also Error codes):
E_FARC_INITIALIZING
E_FARC_NO_TOKEN
E_FARC_NO_ACTIVITY
E_FARC_NO_NEXTID
E_FARC_NO_PARAMETERS
E_FARC_INVALID_HANDLE
E_FARC_DUPID
E_FARC_INIT_FORCED
E_FARC_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL
E_FARC_BAD_PARAMETER
Comment:
Before doing any WriteFile or ReadFile Requests, this function must
be called. The ARCNET adapter tries to connect the ARCNET network with
the given node-id.
Example:
Note, that the following example is only a fragment. It is recommended,
that the driver is opened in asynchronous mode and a handle to the driver
is available.
OVERLAPPED overlapped;
DWORD read, err;
BOOL ret;
ARCNET_DCB dcb;
overlapped.Offset = 0;
overlapped.OffsetHigh = 0;
overlapped.hEvent = CreateEvent(NULL,TRUE,FALSE,NULL);
...
// ResponseTtime 74.7 usec, ReconfigTime
840ms, when using 20020
dcb.z_et_1 = TRUE;
dcb.z_et_2 = TRUE;
dcb.z_et_3 = FALSE;
// 2.5 Mbps
dcb.z_ckp_1 = FALSE;
dcb.z_ckp_2 = FALSE;
dcb.z_ckp_3 = FALSE;
// No backplane, because we use coax
interface
dcb.z_backplane = FALSE;
dcb.z_p1mode = FALSE;
// Abort transmission after 128 NAKs
dcb.z_four_naks = FALSE;
// Stop joining the network, if no
token seen, or no netactivity is detected
dcb.b_init_behaviour = eARC_INIT_BREAK;
