There is one mandatory parameter included in the translation table that is not
configurable by the user in the autoconfiguration file, namely:
USE VLAN = [0|1]
If the dLAN 200 DSpro adapter is using VLAN the parameter will be set to 1,
otherwise the parameter will be set to 0 and this information is transferred when
it receives an IFCP request. This parameter is what the dLAN 200 DSpro adapter
performing the IFCP request uses in order to know if it has to use VLAN or not.
12.5.3
Additional Information about Transferring IFCP
Take care regarding IFCP in those cases where a dLAN 200 DSpro adapter is able
to connect with dLAN 200 DSpro adapters not belonging to its own network,
because they may have different VLAN configurations (this may occur in MV
rings or LV nodes that can communicate with MV nodes); the translation table
transferred by IFCP may be non-compatible with the real network the dLAN 200
DSpro adapter must stay in. To solve this situation (where a dLAN 200 DSpro
adapter gets IFCP from a different master than should be the case), if the auto-
configuration file downloaded by the dLAN 200 DSpro adapter includes the
translation table, this information is re-written, solving the problem. It is not a
problem that the dLAN 200 DSpro adapter has, temporarily, a wrong translation
table because with this information, the dLAN 200 DSpro adapter should be
able to reach the backbone and thus the file to download.
It should be noted that only the parameters declared explicitly in the file are
changed in the translation table; information that is not declared will retain the
same values that were received through IFCP. This should not be a problem
because if the information is not declared explicitly, it is because it will not be
used inside its network.
For example, dLAN 200 DSpro adapter “A” has its translation table with the fol-
lowing values and transfers this information to dLAN 200 DSpro adapter “B”:
#Translation Table dLAN 200 DSpro adapter A
TRANSLATION_MNMT_VLAN = 250
TRANSLATION_DATA_VLAN.1 = 21
TRANSLATION_DATA_VLAN.2 = 11
TRANSLATION_DATA_VLAN.3 = 12
TRANSLATION_DATA_VLAN.4 = 13
TRANSLATION_DATA_VLAN.16 = 25
