4.4.3 Structure of the Network Parameter Blocks (NPB)
This data block is generated by the CP 243-1 itself in accordance with the current
set of network parameters. It contains the TCP/IP parameter values currently in
use, provided the CP 243-1 has been correctly configured. In the event of a con-
figuration error, the NPB will not contain any valid data.
