| Description | A value representing the connection policies in
effect in a node. A station sets the corresponding
bit for each of the connection types that it
rejects. The letter designations, X and Y, in the
'rejectX-Y' names have the following significance:
X represents the PC-Type of the local PORT and Y
represents the PC_Type of the adjacent PORT
(PC_Neighbor). The evaluation of Connection-
Policy (PC-Type, PC-Neighbor) is done to determine
the setting of T- Val(3) in the PC-Signalling
sequence (refer to ANSI 9.6.3). Note that Bit 15,
(rejectM-M), is always set and cannot be cleared.
The value is a sum. This value initially takes
the value zero, then for each of the connection
policies currently enforced on the node, 2 raised
to a power is added to the sum. The powers are
according to the following table:
Policy Power
rejectA-A 0
rejectA-B 1
rejectA-S 2
rejectA-M 3
rejectB-A 4
rejectB-B 5
rejectB-S 6
rejectB-M 7
rejectS-A 8
rejectS-B 9
rejectS-S 10
rejectS-M 11
rejectM-A 12
rejectM-B 13
rejectM-S 14
rejectM-M 15 |
