7.3 Access SSPA subsystem through Packet Wrapper technique
Features introduced in firmware version 4.03 allow send requests directly to a remote
SSPA subsystem. In this mode, the RCP redirects requests from its Serial Main or
Ethernet port to its Local serial port, connected to the SSPA (see
Figure 7-8
). Packet
wrapper requests are associated with longer response times, which have to be
accounted in the host M&C software. This mode can be useful for advanced remote
diagnostic of the attached SSPA subsystem.
All Packet Wrapper request frames must be “Data Set” command requests. Each
frame intended for redirection must be included in request packet Data Fields. Packet
Wrapping frame M&C should follow the same rules as for any other request frames
with one exclusion — the Data Address field will represent the number of bytes
expected back from the remote SSPA. These bytes will be redirected back to the Host
M&C in the Data Field response packet. The response packet will not be sent until the
specified number of bytes is collected in the RCP2 buffer.
Maximum length of the data fields in both directions should not exceed 32 bytes. In the
diagram represented in
Figure 7-8
, Request frame A is the Packet Wrapper frame. It
contains Request frame B, intended to be redirected to the remote SSPA.
