ICS CONFIGURATION RPC PROTOCOL

The following document describes ICS's Configuration RPC Protocol. This

information is supplied to enable a RPC programmer to configure ICS 80xx

and 90xx devices with RPC commands.

A4.1 INTRODUCTION

This document defines the configuration interface to ICS devices (hereafter

referred to as the Edevice). The purpose of this document is to allow the com-

munication between the controlling computer and the Edevice, for the purposes

of modifying the operational characteristics of the Edevice. Edevices are ICS

products whose Model number is in the 80xx and 90xx range. Note that not

all commands are supported by all Edevices.

A4.2 SCOPE

This specification addresses the Edevice communication for the purposes of

operational configuration.

This specification is to be considered an addendum to the VXI-11 specifica-

tion for communication to the VXI-11 compliant ICS Edevice Interfaces. The

Edevice follows the VXI-11.2 and/or VXI-11.3 specifications.

It is assumed the reader is conversant with ONC/RPC and XDR specifications

as published by Sun Microsystems. All client/Edevice communication is per-

formed through ONC/RPC and thus requires knowledge of both (ONC/RPC

and XDR) specifications. In addition, it is assumed the reader is conversant

with the VXI-11 and VXI-11.2 specifications as published by the VXIbus Con-

sortium. In some cases, the reader will require an understanding of the GPIB

(IEEE-488) specification as published in the IEEE Standards.

A4.3 SPECIFICATION ObJECTIVES

This specification has the following objectives:

1. To enable the creation of tools to perform Edevice configuration.

2. To enable applications to perform temporary modifications to the

Edevice configuration.

3. To define the ONC/RPC protocol used by the Edevice configuration.
