SHIP:Node:linkset

Within a given link, there may be one or more linkset nodes. Each linkset encompasses all the traffic between two endpoints in a link.

Parent Nodes

The following nodes are permitted to hold this node:

• link

Child Nodes

The following nodes are permitted to exist within this node:

• linkvar
• const

Properties

Property Name	Description
name	A unique linkset name within the link
id	Some protocols require the endpoint to have an ID number assigned
channel	A port name (e.g. UART0)

Examples

For example, the following link binds a MODBUS_SLAVE_ASCII protocol to UART0 on a SIM110:

Property	Value
name	myModbusSlave
protocol	MODBUS_SLAVE_ASCII
channel	platform.UART0

Adding two linksets to our prior example might look like this:

In this example, our GUI is acting as a Modbus Slave attached to UART0, potentially one of many on the communications channel. This physical channel could be, for instance, a multi-drop RS485 network with many slaves of which our SIM is only one. Our GUI, because it has the two linksets at ID #1 and #13 created, will respond as if it were two of those slaves on the network.
