DP83200SMT XLNT Manager FDDI Station Management (SMT) Software Support
Package
General Description
The XLNT Manager Software Package completely imple-
ments all required and most optional FDDI SMT Protocol
functions. It comes complete with well documented source
code written in the C programming language and an easy
to use Integration Guide. The source code is modular so
that it can be partitioned over multiple processors and can
be used in all FDDI applications including concentrators,
dual attach and single attach stations. The porting guide
includes step by step instructions regarding how to port the
software to your hardware platform. XLNT Manager FDDI
SMT Software is a product of XLNT Designs Inc., and is
made available to National Semiconductor FDDI customers
through a sublicensing agreement. Technical support is
provided XLNT Designs. XLNT Manager FDDI SMT Soft-
ware combined with National Semiconductor's FDDI chip
set provides a complete FDDI solution.
The software can easily be integrated into an operating
environment using minimal hardware and system support
from the operating environment. Custom Management ser-
vices can interface with the SMT software through a stan-
dard, well defined, software interface. An integration
sequence example is included.
