6.3.2 MBTCP Status Data in Upper Memory
The MBTCP driver has an associated status data area located in the
gateway’s
upper memory. The Data Map functionality of the gateway can be used to map
this data into the normal user data range of the gateway
(page 27).
Note that all the status values are initialized to zero(0) at power-up, cold boot and
during warm boot.
