16.5.4 Checking the Connection to
the RTC6 Ethernet Board
In general, communication via Ethernet is more
unreliable than PCIe bus connections within PCs
(simple example: Ethernet cable is not plugged in).
By eth_check_connection it can be simply checked,
whether the RTC6 Ethernet Board responds and
therefore, the Ethernet connection still exists.
The behavior of the RTC6 Ethernet Board in case of
Ethernet Link Loss can be set with
eth_configure_link_loss. In Mode = 0…2, among
other things, Bit #15 of get_startstop_info is set
with an Ethernet Link Loss (detection time:
< 100 ms). Bit #15 is set back to 0 not until
get_startstop_info is called.
