CIMPLICITYReflective Memory Card: Parameters
Parameters on the Configure RFM card are as follows.
| 1 | Reflective Memory card parameters. |
| 2 | PCI Bus parameters. |
| 3 | Software Selectable Switch Settings (read and writeable). |
| 1 | Reflective Memory Card Parameters |
| Parameter | Description |
| Card | Uniquely identifies the reflective memory card installed in the computer. The first card is card 1. |
| Node Id | Uniquely identifies the reflective memory card on the network. Valid values are 0 to 255. |
| Driver Version | Version of the GE device driver. |
| Ring Connectivity | ??Indicates whether there is ring continuity through all nodes in a ring. |
| Board ID | Board Id of the currently open reflective memory device. |
| Installed Memory | Total amount of board memory. |
| Memory Offset | Memory offset of the reflective memory board. |
| Board Revision | Revision of the reflective memory card. |
| Build Id | Build ID of the revision of the reflective memory card. |
| PLX Revision | Revision of the PLX chip. |
| Fast or Redundant Mode | Fast mode indicates non-redundant data transfer. Redundant mode indicates redundant data transfer. |
| Rogue Master 0 | If enabled, indicates that the board is operating as the Rogue Master 0 on the network. This setting is controlled by a switch setting on the reflective memory card. There should be no more than one Rogue Master 0 on the network. |
| Rogue Master 1 | If enabled, indicates that the board is operating as the Rogue Master 1 on the network. This setting is controlled by a switch setting on the reflective memory card. There should be no more than one Rogue Master 1 on the network. |
| 2 | PCI Bus Parameters |
| Parameter | Description |
| Interrupt Number | Indicates interrupt. |
| RFM Revision | Revision of the reflective memory card. |
| OR Base Address | Memory Base Address for access to Local Configuration registers. (Register 0). |
| OR Window Size | Size of PCI Window. |
| OR Reg Size | Actual Memory space size. |
| CS Base Address | Memory Base Address for access to Control and Status register info. (Register 2). |
| CS Window Size | Size of PCI Window. |
| CS Reg Size | Actual memory space size. |
| Base Address | Memory Base Address of Reflective Memory Board Memory. |
| Window Size | Size of the PCI Memory Window. |
| 3 | Software Selectable Switch Settings (read and writeable) |
| Parameter | Description |
| LED Light | State of the STATUS LED light on the reflective memory card. |
| DarkOnDark | State of the reflective memory card???s Dark On Dark feature. When the feature is On, the board???s transmitter will be turned Off if the receiver doesn???t detect a signal or if the receiver detects invalid data patterns. This feature is useful in hub configurations. |
| Transmit | State of the reflective memory card???s transmitter. |
| Loopback | State of the transmit loopback state. When On, the fiber optic transmitter and receiver are disabled and the transmit signal is looped back to the receiver circuit internally. This allows basic functional testing without an external cable. |
| ParityEnable |
State of the reflective memory card???s Parity Enable feature. When ParityEnable is enabled, parity is checked on all onboard memory accesses. ??While the parity is On, writes to the memory are only allowed as 32-bit Lwords or 64-bit Qwords. Write accessing data as 16-bit words or 8-bit bytes is prohibited.
If you enable parity checking on one node, you should enable it on all nodes of the reflective memory network.
Note: A node that detects an invalid memory write from the network will prevent the write to its own memory, but it will not remove the packet from the network
