13.5.2 Summary of RIPP commands
The following is a summary of all RIPP commands that are currently supported. For the detailed
command bit encoding info, refer to the “registers” section.
1. Add_group
Function
Add one new group to the device. Note that this must be the first command to be
issued to the group, if any other command is issued prior to this, it will be
considered invalid and rejected.
Parameters
Pre-requisite
Restriction
Group tag and vector of LIDS to be included in group
Require configuration of all link and group records as detailed in 0 and 0.

2. Delete_group
Function

3. Restart_group
Function
Parameters

Group Tag
If any group configuration info needs to be changed, PM must do so prior to
issuing this command by writing to the RIPP Group Configuration memory.
Restriction
None
4. Inhibit_group
Function
Set the internal group inhibiting status flag. Once a group is considered inhibited,
it will not go to OPERATIONAL state even if sufficient links exist in the group.
If the group is already in OPERATIONAL state when the command is issued, the
GSM will go to BLOCKED state and thus block the TX data path. However the RX
data path remains on.
Parameters

Restriction
Group Tag
None.
None.
5. Not_inhibit_group
Function
Clear the internal group inhibiting status. If the group is currently in BLOCKED
state and there are sufficient links in the group, the GSM will go to
OPERATIONAL state.
Parameters

Restriction
Group Tag

None.
