Hardware Control Messages
Hardware control messages are used to control various hardware devices on the board, including the T1/E1/
J1 Line Interface Units (LIUs), the digital cross connect switches and the clocking mode for the board.
In a static configuration, these hardware blocks can be set up using the
s7_mgt
protocol configuration utility
along with the appropriate commands in the
config.txt
protocol configuration file.
If dynamic control of the hardware is required (or the user has elected not to use
s7_mgt
), the user
application must build and send at least some of the hardware control messages.
The messages in the hardware control category include:
•
LIU_MSG_CONFIG
