        !            11: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !            12: The file \fBmpcctab\fR is used to configure CCI's Multi-Protocol 
        !            13: Communication Controller (MPCC).
        !            14: The controller provides high-speed
        !            15: synchronous communications for the \s-1POWER 6\s+1 family
        !            16: of computers.
        !            17: This file determines the MPCC board 
        !            18: configurations. You can download either a synchronous , bisync or
        !            19: an asynchronous protocol to an MPCC board.
        !            20: See \fIdlmpcc\fR(8)
        !            21: for details.
        !            22: .LP
        !            23: A \fBmpcctab\fR file is supplied
        !            24: with each MPCC release; however, 
        !            25: you can modify this file or create your own file 
        !            26: by using one of the \s-1UNIX\s+1 text editors.
        !            27: .LP
        !            28: The contents of the file 
        !            29: consists of entries that describe supported communication 
        !            30: protocols and their unique attributes. The protocols supported are
        !            31: X.25, SNA,  ASYNC, and BISYNC.
        !            32: For ASYNC two different entries are possible in the 
        !            33: \fIprocol\fR field - if 16 port MPCC async is configured, then ASYNC is 
        !            34: entered; 32 port MPCC async is specified by entering 32PORT.
        !            35: This file must reside in the directory

        !            37: .SH Entry Line Format
        !            38: An entry line consists of an \fIitem identifier\fR followed by 
        !            39: variable width arguments separated by colons. There are three 
        !            40: item identifiers: MPCC, PROTOCOL, PORT. The MPCC line in this file
        !            41: identifies the board number. The PROTOCOL line identifies
        !            42: the specific communication protocol.
        !            43: The PORT line describes
        !            44: the port for the immediately preceding protocol. The number
        !            45: of arguments  for the PROTOCOL and PORT lines,
        !            46: and the arguments themselves, 
        !            47: are protocol dependent. See the individual
        !            48: argument descriptions for details.
        !            49: .LP
        !            50: Notes: Use upper case letters for clarity when specifying the item 
        !            51: identifier and the protocol name. Make sure that you enter
        !            52: the argument values in the order specified below. Also, use comments 
        !            53: liberally, and indicate comment lines by placing a 
        !            54: pound sign (\fB#\fR) in column one. 
        !            55: .LP

        !            72: FCCS is a fault-tolerant support system that allows backup ports
        !            73: to assume the functions of failed ports.

        !            82: An FCCS port can also be an SOC (Switch On Close) port,
        !            83: meaning that the port will switch when it is closed.
        !            84: And as with FCCS, the port will switch if it fails.
        !            85: This feature is optional.

        !            89: specifying the primary ports you want protected by backup ports.
        !            90: FCCS boards have either 4 primary and 4 backup ports,
        !            91: or 8 primary and 8 backup ports.
        !            92: The valid port numbers are

        !           103: Each of the ports has a switched connector.
        !           104: If the board fails for any reason,
        !           105: the traffic on these ports is automatically routed
        !           106: through the switched connector.
        !           107: These connectors must be cabled to secondary ports on the other FCCS
        !           108: connector panels.
        !           109: The secondary ports are numbered 8 through 11 on the 4-port version and
        !           110: 8 through 15 on the 8-port version.
        !           111: Only the primary ports need be designated in the FCCS configuration line,
        !           112: however all ports must be identified as described in the PORT Line section
