Connects inputs to outputs with identical throughput delay for all connections.
DWORD swiMakeFramedConnection ( SWIHD swihd, SWI_TERMINUS input[], SWI_TERMINUS output[], unsigned count)
Argument |
Description |
swihd |
|
input |
Array of terminus structures for the input side of the connection: typedef struct Refer to swiMakeConnection for a description of these fields. |
output |
Array of terminus structures for the output side of the connection. |
count |
Number of elements in the input array and in the output array. |
Return value |
Description |
SUCCESS |
|
CTAERR_DRIVER_ERROR |
Underlying driver retrieved an unrecognized error. Call swiGetLastError to retrieve the MVIP device error code. |
CTAERR_FUNCTION_NOT_AVAIL |
Underlying driver does not support the configuration of specific characteristics of a local device. |
CTAERR_INVALID_HANDLE |
swihd is not a valid switch handle. |
CTAERR_SVR_COMM |
Communication error in the server environment. |
SWIERR_INVALID_STREAM |
One or more of the specified streams is invalid. |
SWIERR_INVALID_TIMESLOT |
One or more of the specified timeslots is invalid. |
swiMakeFramedConnection is specific to MVIP-95. swiMakeFramedConnection makes connections between the corresponding elements of the output terminus array and the input terminus array.
The type of connection is identical to swiMakeConnection except that all connections made on the same switch device with this function have the same constant throughput delay.
Use swiMakeFramedConnection to make a single high bandwidth connection using multiple timeslots where the data must be synchronized across the timeslots. This function ensures there is identical throughput delay across all timeslots.
Note: Under Solaris, the upper limit for the number of terminuses that can be batched in one call is 32.
This function returns CTAERR_FUNCTION_NOT_AVAIL if framed connections are not supported.
Disable an output when the connection or pattern is no longer required. Leftover connections or patterns can cause unpredictable behavior in the application.
Refer to Making connections for more information.
If CTAERR_DRIVER_ERROR is returned, call swiGetLastError to retrieve the MVIP device error code.
