ThinLAN 3000/XL Link Enhancements by Nancy DeVore Information Networks Division Enhancements have been made to the ThinLAN 3000/XL Link (HP36923A) for MPE/iX Release 4.0, which provide standard network logging and tracing. The LINKCONTROL command can be used to enable and disable tracing. There are three levels of tracing available: none, partial, and full. Partial frame tracing can be enabled by using the default or partial sub-parameters of the TRACE=ON parameter of the LINKCONTROL command. Full frame tracing is enabled by using the data, all, or full sub-parameters. Network logging uses NMLG files and is enabled as a configuration default. Both network log and trace files can be formatted using the NMDUMP utility. Either file can be formatted by selecting parameter 25 (IEEE 802.3 Link) from the NMDUMP utility subsystem menu. The LINKCONTROL command statistics output has been modified. The LINKCONTROL command has four new statistics fields for the HP-PB (HP Precision Bus) SCSI/Console/LAN (A1703-60003) and HP-PB single-high LAN (J2146A) cards. The new fields are: Receives Broadcast, Receives Multicast, Transmit Byte Count, and Receive Byte Count. The statistics output for the CIO TurboLAN (5062-3313) card still has the Inbound Buffer Size, Inbound Number of Buffers, Inbound Buffers Available, Out of Tx bufs, and Out of Rx bufs fields.
