1 Address_Towers ! Address towers are used in the REGISTER, MODIFY, ADD, and REMOVE commands, by specifying the TOWERS parameter. The format for a TOWERS parameter is: TOWERS {tower, tower, ...} Each address tower in the set has the format: transport/address Fields can be omitted from left to right, and assume a default value. ! ! 2 Transport_Field ! This field indicates the Transport type. This can be either: TP4 - OSI Transport Class 4 NSP - DECnet Phase IV Network Services Protocol If TP4 is specified, it can be followed by an optional T-Sel value as a series of hexadecimal digits after an equals sign. If an explicit T-Sel value is not specified, the DECnet default of "TP4=DEC0" is assumed. For example: TP4=AB12 - The T-Sel value is set to "AB12" TP4=AB1 - The T-Sel value is "AB10" (number of digits must be even) TP4 - The T-Sel value is assumed to be "DEC0" If a transport type is not specified, the default depends on the address. NSP is used if the address is specified using Phase IV format, or is an NSAP with an N-Sel value of "20". TP4 is used if the address is an NSAP with an N-Sel value other than "20". ! 2 Address_Field ! This field indicates the node address. This can be specified using either Phase IV format or NSAP format. Phase IV format: . .+ DNA NSAP format: ::-:: OSI NSAP format: + See PHASE_IV_ADDRESSES and NSAP_ADDRESSES for more details. ! 2 Examples ! Assuming that the Phase IV address prefix value is "49::", some examples of address towers are: Abbreviation Fully Specified ------------ --------------- 1.5 NSP/49::01:AA0004000504:20 1.5 NSP/49::01:AA0004000504:20 39:840:01:AA0004000504:20 NSP/39:840:01:AA0004000504:20 39:840:01:AA0004000504:21 TP4=DEC0/39:840:01:AA0004000504:21 TP4/39:840:01:AA0004000504:21 TP4=DEC0/39:840:01:AA0004000504:21 Examples of address towers using normal default values for both a DECnet Phase IV node and a DECnet-Plus node might be: TOWERS={1.5} TOWERS={2.54, 39:840:01:AA0004000504:20, 39:840:01:AA0004000504:21} !
