16.5.3 About the
RTC6 Board Management
RTC6 boards are addressed by a unique number
under which they must be entered in the
RTC6 board management.
The RTC6 board management is an RTC6 DLL-internal
list consisting of 255 possible RTC6 board records,
see following table.
At the beginning of the list are RTC6 PCIe Boards, if
any are present in the PC.
RTC6 PCIe Boards are automatically searched by
init_rtc6_dll and consecutively numbered. The
numbering cannot be changed. rtc6_count_cards
only returns the number of RTC6 PCIe Boards found.
RTC6 Ethernet Board, on the other hand, must be
entered manually into the RTC6 board management:
• If the IP address is known, eth_assign_card_ip
can be used to enter a card at any index between
rtc6_count_cards + 1…255.
• If the IP address is unknown, by eth_assign_card
an RTC6 Ethernet Board from the search result
list, see Chapter 16.5.2 ”About Searching
RTC6 Ethernet Boards”, page 904, can be entered
at an arbitrary index. However, neither an
RTC6 PCIe Board nor an RTC6 Ethernet Board
must be registered at this index
eth_max_card returns the highest index where an
RTC6 Ethernet Board in the RTC6 board management
is registered.
In contrast, eth_count_cards returns the total
number of entered RTC6 Ethernet Boards.
By get_card_type the registered board type can be
queried:
• 0 = “No card“
• 1 = RTC6 PCIe Board
• 2 = RTC6 Ethernet Board
