The setting of the BROADCAST, ARP, RARP and ISO9542 operands of the
BCOPTION command is OFF. A possible change to this setting must be made before activation of the LAN node.

• BROADCAST=ON

  must be set if L2 broadcast messages (e.g. ARP requests) are received via the LAN channel adapter.

• ARP=QUIET / ON

  must be set if ARP requests are sent for updating the local assignment of IP addresses to LAN addresses. This is always necessary where IP partners are generated without LAN addresses, or automatic end system creation is to be used in the IP area.

• ISO9542=ON

  must be set if the ISO9542 routing protocol is used. This is only useful if partner end systems exist which support the corresponding protocol. ISO9542 is an ES – IS (end system – intermediate system) protocol and is required for use in networks with routers and for automatic end system creation in the ISO area.

• RARP=ON

  must be set if RARP requests are processed. This is only useful if partner systems are defined with RARP=YES during generation.

NODE=<node-name 1..8>
Name of the LAN node

INI=...
Specifies the objects to be started in addition to the LAN node.

INI=ONLY
The operation is only performed for the LAN node.

INI=NODE
The operation is only performed for the LAN node and all processors directly connected to the LAN which are accessible via this LAN node.

INI=ALL
The operation is performed for all objects accessible via the LAN node.

ACT=...
Specifies which objects are activated.

ACT=YES
Only those objects which are defined by INI are activated.

ACT=NO
No activations whatsoever take place.

ACT=ONLY
Only LAN nodes are activated.

ACT=NODE
The operation is carried out for the LAN nodes themselves and all computers directly connected to and accessible via the LAN.

ACT=ALL
Activation takes place for all processors accessible via the LAN node as well as for all processors or LAN nodes activated.

SLOW-POLL=...
Defines the SLOW-POLL behavior for lines to LAN nodes.
SLOW-POLL is only set if the affected connection is not active.

SLOW-POLL= *std
The general SLOW-POLL default setting (MODIFY-BCAM-OPTION command) is used.

SLOW-POLL=OFF
No reactivation following a line failure.

SLOW-POLL=ON
Causes automatic reactivation following a line failure. This reactivation is attempted every 15 seconds until it succeeds or until a BCDAC or BCOUT command is issued.

Command logging

For reasons of compatibility, positive acknowledgments are supplied in news BCA0763, and negative acknowledgments in news BCA0762, followed by the message NBR0740. In addition, for positive acknowledgments, the messages BCA083F, BCA08D2, BCA0831 and BCA0620 may also appear.
A description of the error messages that may be issued during command processing is provided in the table below.
