PRIMARY
The primary link station controls the conversation on the link.
SECONDARY
The secondary link station must wait to be polled by the primary link station before data is sent.
USE_ADAPTER_DEFAULTS
Use the value specified on the PORT keyword.

The default is NEGOTIABLE.

This parameter is optional.

  1. If DLC_NAME on the PORT keyword is specified as TWINAX, only SECONDARY is valid.
  2. If DLC_NAME on the PORT keyword is specified as ANYNET, and LS_NAME is $ANYNET$, PRIMARY is not valid.
