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.

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.
