Multichannel Synchronous Communications Controller (MUSYCC™)
Setting MCENBL to 0 prevents MUSYCC from copying the Message
Configuration Bits from the Transmit Buffer Descriptor and has the following
effect on transmit channel operations throughout the channel group:
• PADEN and PADCNT are set to 0, thereby facilitating back-to-back
message transmission.
• REPEAT is set to 0, thereby disabling automatic message retransmission.
Any of the Message Configuration Bits can be changed by writing new values
for these bit fields directly into a channel group’s Transmit Configuration Table.
However, the exact time the new bit field values are applied by the transmitter is
unrelated to the message being serviced. If the channel is idle, any change to the
message configuration bits in the Configuration Table will apply to subsequent
messages.
To write new configuration bits into the Transmit Message Configuration
Table, a PCI dword operation is required. Tables 6-12 and 6-13 list the address
map and the Message Configuration Descriptor layouts.
