5.7.7 Client
Driver
In the client driver, the 6202-WA-DFNT-DFCM3 module is responsible for issuing
read or write commands to servers on the DFCM network using explicit,
connected messaging. These commands are user configured in the module via
the Client Command List received from the module's configuration file. Command
status is returned to the processor for each individual command in the command
list status block in the command control data area.
