ASAI and Release 6 Requirements
B-5 Issue 7 March 1998
■ If the CRV values are administered to a single byte, then the
adjunct may initiate and have active 127 simultaneous
associations on any given ASAI interface (subject to
availability of resources set by the other system parameters).
■ If the CRV values are set at 2 bytes, the maximum number
of associations is limited by the availability of other ECS
resources, not the number of CRVs (32,767). That is, the
maximum number of associations that the ECS can support
over all ASAI interfaces (combined) is less than the number
of available CRVs when a 2-byte CRV length is administered.
The demands on other ECS resources prevent an adjunct
from ever reaching the theoretical maximum of 32,767.
