3.1.1. Multiple Set Xpt Message
This command allows a block of up to 16 routes to be set from one command providing that the
command does not exceed 256 bytes in length. The command allows the level to be optionally specified
for any of the routes, if the level is not specified for the first destination then it assumes all levels for that
destination will be routed to the source given, if a level is not specified for a subsequent destination then it
assumes the last level defined for a destination. The format of the command is given below:
.M{destination},{source},{destination},{source} …. (cr)
where {destination} = [level
1
]{dest
1
}[+{destination}][-{dest
3
}[+{destination}]]
where {source} = {srce
1
}[+{source}][-{srce
3
}[+{source}]]
The ‘,’ character is used to delimit a destination or a source. The ‘+’ and ‘-‘ character can be used to
specify a number of parameters of the same type (destinations/ sources). The ‘+’ character indicates
that another parameter of the same type will be added. The ‘-‘ character indicates that the next
parameter of the same type defines the end of a range.
The simplest form of the command is given below:
.M[level
1
]{dest
1
},{srce
1
},[level
2
]{dest
2
},{srce
2
},.….[level
n
]{dest
n
},{srce
n
}(cr)
The command:
.M[level
1
]{dest
1
}+[level
2
]{dest
2
}+[level
3
]{dest
3
},{srce
1
}(cr)
would set all three destinations dest
1,2,3
to the specified source.
The command:
.M[level
1
]{dest
1
}-{dest
3
},{srce
1
}(cr)
would set all logical destinations in the range dest
1
to dest
3
to the specified source on level
1
. Note no
optional level is permitted on the end of a destination range.
The command:
.MVA001-005,010-014(cr)
would set destination 1 to source 10, destination 2 to source 11, destination 3 to source 12, destination
4 to source 13 and destination 5 to source 14 on control levels 1 and 2.
