Displaying and Setting VME Backplane Networking
Configuration

On the VME menu, BPNconfig is used to display or set the VME backplane
networking parameters stored in non-volatile memory.

To display the current VME backplane networking parameters enter the fol-
lowing at the VME menu prompt:

VME Menu: Enter command >

bpn

The information is displayed similar to the following example:

Current BPN Configuration Parameters:

CPU Number: 0

Anchor: 0x00200000

AM: 0x3d

Use the following syntax to set the VME backplane networking parameters:

BPNconfig - Show backplane networking configuration

BPNconfig cpu - Set CPU number only

BPNconfig cpu anchor - Set CPU number and VME anchor address

BPNconfig cpu anchor am - Set CPU number, VME anchor address

and VME address modifier code

For example,

bpnconfig 1 0x200000 0x3d

sets the backplane networking resources for CPU number 1, with the VME
anchor address set to 0x200000 and the VME address modifier code is set to
0x3d.
