UNILINK HOST ADAPTER B–1 USER MANUAL APPENDIX B USING THE BDLC PROTOCOL The BDLC protocol is a subset of the ANSI X3.66–1979 Advanced Data Communication Control Procedure (ADCCP). BDLC provides a data link between the host computer and one or more UNILINK Host Adapters.
USING THE BDLC PROTOCOL UNILINK HOST ADAPTER B–2 USER MANUAL B.1 BDLC CONFIGURA TION BDLC is an unbalanced configuration meaning that there is one primary station (the host computer) and one or more secondary stations (UNILINK Host Adapters) as illustrated in Figure B–1.

USING THE BDLC PROTOCOL UNILINK HOST ADAPTER B–4 USER MANUAL B.2.2 Address Field The address field is eight bits in length and specifies the address of the UNILINK Host Adapter which is to receive the message. Up to 32 adapters may be multidropped on the same host network as discussed in Paragraph 3.
USING THE BDLC PROTOCOL UNILINK HOST ADAPTER B–5 USER MANUAL B.2.5 Block Checksum Field This two-byte field is the Block Checksum (BCS) calculated by the transmitter and checked by the receiver to detect transmission errors. The calculation is a 16-bit one’ s complement Fletcher Checksum.

USING THE BDLC PROTOCOL UNILINK HOST ADAPTER B–9 USER MANUAL D RNR — The Receive Not Ready command is used by the adapter to indicate that its input buffer is full and the host should stop transmitting I-Frames and poll with RRs until the adapter responds with an RR or an I-Frame.
USING THE BDLC PROTOCOL UNILINK HOST ADAPTER B–10 USER MANUAL B.5 ERRORS AND ERROR RECOVERY BDLCs design includes methods for detecting and correcting transmission errors so that message integrity is assured. Methods are provided for busy condition, N(S) and N(R) sequence errors, BCS errors, invalid commands, and timeouts.
USING THE BDLC PROTOCOL UNILINK HOST ADAPTER B–1 1 USER MANUAL B.5.4 BCS Err or When the Block Checksum calculated by the receiver does not match the BCS in the I-Frame, the receiving station completely ignores the message. This is because with an incorrect checksum, there is no guarantee that the address field contains the correct address.
USING THE BDLC PROTOCOL UNILINK HOST ADAPTER B–12 USER MANUAL B.5.7 FRMR Recovery The FRMR response is returned by the adapter when it receives a frame with an invalid command, a frame of excessive length, or when the N(R) does not match.
