6.1 MC1 Commands

The MC1 board supports all the standard MVIP-90 driver commands. In addition, there are four special commands available to the MC1 board which are accessible using SwitchPath: Command Description MC1_CONFIG Configures MC1 output streams and enables watchdog timer MC1_CONFIG_CLOCK Configures MC1 clocking MC1_QUERY_CONFIG Retrieves output streams and watchdog timer configuration MC1_QUERY_STATUS Retrieves clocking configuration and error status
SwitchPath provides API functions to control switches, make and break connections, issue conferencing commands, and more. You can work with named logical groups of channels on named switches. SwitchPath can also maintain a database of group names, switch names, and switch connections.
SwitchPath functions interface to the MC1 board driver, which in turn controls the board.
SwitchPath is a separate Natural MicroSystems product which may not be included in your driver software package. To order SwitchPath, contact Natural MicroSystems. For more information on SwitchPath, refer to the SwitchPath Technical Reference Manual.
To invoke the MC1 SwitchPath commands, use the CxDriverCommand function. Pass the command name and appropriate parameters to this function.
Note: In SwitchPath version 1.1 for OS/2, the CxDriverCommand function is not referenced in swpath.lib. Obtain the latest versions of swpath.h and swpath.lib by contacting Developer's Support or by downloading the files from the Natural MicroSystems bulletin board.

The syntax of the CxDriverCommand function is:

Command	Description
`MC1_CONFIG`	Configures MC1 output streams and enables watchdog timer
`MC1_CONFIG_CLOCK`	Configures MC1 clocking
`MC1_QUERY_CONFIG`	Retrieves output streams and watchdog timer configuration
`MC1_QUERY_STATUS`	Retrieves clocking configuration and error status
