Ctrl Command eth_count_cards
Function Returns the number of RTC6 Ethernet Boards entered in the RTC6 board management.
Call Result = eth_count_cards()
Parameters None.
Result Number of RTC6 Ethernet Boards recorded in the RTC6 board management.
As an unsigned 32-bit value.
Comments • eth_count_cards is not available as a multi-board command.
• Unlike rtc6_count_cards, you cannot deduce in each case the highest index of all
RTC6 boards from the result value (see eth_assign_card and eth_remove_card with
CardNo = 0, see also eth_max_card).
• It is only ensured that each RTC6 Ethernet Board number is greater than the highest
RTC6 PCIe Board number, see rtc6_count_cards.
• Certainly eth_count_cards can be greater than eth_found_cards. This is the case, if
RTC6 Ethernet Boards have been entered explicitly by its IP addresses into the
RTC6 board management, see eth_assign_card_ip.
• After successful execution of eth_assign_card, eth_count_cards is automatically
increased by 1.
• After successful execution of eth_remove_card, eth_count_cards is automatically
decreased by 1.
• See also Chapter 16.5.3 ”About the RTC6 Board Management”, page 905.
