0x0A Activate Ethernet Port (DSP Series 2 Card)

Use this TLV to assign the active Ethernet port for a DSP Series 2 card. If you enable Ethernet Link Redundancy (TLV 0x09), an available standby Ethernet Port is automatically activated upon failure of the active port. This TLV activates the Ethernet Interfaces on the Multi-Function Media I/O card as follows:

• Upper port (NET1)

• Middle port (NET2)

• Lower port (NET3)

Used in:
IP Address Configure message
IP Address Query message

Byte | Description
0 | Tag 0x0A Activate Ethernet Port
1 | Length 0x04
2-5 | Value[0] 0x00000001 Upper Port Active (NET1) 0x00000002 Middle Port Active (NET2) 0x00000003 Lower Port Active (NET3)

The two TLVs above (0x09 and 0x0A) are returned in the response to a successful IP Address Query message. If an 0x00FF is returned as the value of the Active Ethernet Port TLV (0x0A) in the response to a IP Address Query message, it indicates that Ethernet Link Redundancy is disabled.

Tag-Length-Value block. A standardized block that allows data to inserted in a standard way into API messages.
The protocol used in most local area PC networks. Typically, most Ethernet networks support data transmission speeds up to 10 Mbps, but 100 Mbps is also possible.
Digital Signal Processor
The point in the Excel platform where a DS0 connects to a network. Also known as a "socket."
Internet Protocol. Part of the TCP/IP family of protocols used to route messages and tracks the addresses of nodes.
A 32-bit address, used in IP routing, which includes a Network address identifier assigned by a central authority and a Host ID (an end station identifier assigned by a LAN administrator).
