885.0. "Customized Frame protocols for PCI/Sync Controller" by ZPOVC::COLINTONG () Fri Apr 11 1997 19:44

    Hi,
    
    My customer want to implement their own frame protocol for the PCI/Sync
    controller on Digital UNIX. The standard WADD API supports a list of
    standard protocols ( but I think only HDLC is supported ). Now the 
    questions is do we support extension of the WADD API ? 
    
    Any info are welcome
    
    Thanks
    
    Colin Tong

	We only support HDLC framing. That is different to the HDLC protocol. You can write any user protocol over our drivers, as long as your talking to equipment which can handl the HDLC framing. ie: Each frame must appear on the wire with the following: FLAG DATA CRC FLAG Where FLAG = 0x7e DATA = Client's data (in your case it will be your private protocol) CRC = Frame check sequence Matt.

Each frame must appear on the wire with the following:

	FLAG  DATA   CRC   FLAG

Where FLAG = 0x7e
      DATA = Client's data (in your case it will be your private protocol)
      CRC  = Frame check sequence
