N-File
Description
N40
This N-file lets you use Emulated Block Transfer messages to read and write many types
of DPI messages. To use Emulated Block Transfer messages, you send a Write message
to N40:0…N40:63, wait until the adapter responds with a reply message, and then read
the response data in N40:0…N40:63 with a Read message.
For details about Block Transfer messages and the data required for each byte in the
N-File, see the Remote I/O Adapter User Manual, publication 20COMM-UM004.
Bits 15…8 are the Most Significant Byte. Bits 7…0 are the Least Significant Byte.

N41
This N-file lets you read and write control I/O messages. You can write control I/O
messages only when all of the following conditions are true:
• The adapter is not receiving I/O from a scanner. For example, there is no scanner on
the network, the scanner is in idle (program) mode, the scanner is faulted, or the
adapter is not mapped to the scanner.
• The adapter is not receiving peer I/O from another adapter.
• The value of N42:3 is set to a non-zero value.

N42
This N-file lets you read and write some values configuring the port.
N42:3
Time-out (read/write): Time (in seconds) allowed between messages to the N41 file. If the
adapter does not receive a message in the specified time, it performs the fault action
configured in its [Comm Flt Action] parameter. A valid setting is between 1 and 32767
seconds (5…20 seconds is recommended).
N42:7
Adapter Port Number (read only): DPI port on the drive to which the adapter is connected.
N42:8
Peer Adapters (read only): Bit field of devices having DPI Peer capabilities.
