In-band Link Controller
The in-band link controller is provided to facilitate inter-device communication. It is particularly
useful to centralize control when the time switch is located in fabric cards and the time switches
are located in multiple line cards.
Configuring the In-band Link Controller: dalNbcsTswCfgIlc
Set/Get ILC configuration parameters which include Rx FIFO timeout, and Rx FIFO interrupt
threshold.
Enabling/Disabling Tx/Rx ILC: dalNbcsTswEnableIlc
When disabled, the Tx/Rx ILC will be in “bypass” mode. No messages will be written or
inserted.
Failure = <NBCS error codes>
