1 Address_Towers
!
Address towers are used in the REGISTER, MODIFY, ADD, and REMOVE
commands, by specifying the TOWERS parameter. The format for a TOWERS
parameter is:
TOWERS {tower, tower, ...}
Each address tower in the set has the format:
transport/address
Fields can be omitted from left to right, and assume a default value.

2 Transport_Field
!
This field indicates the Transport type. This can be either:
TP4 - OSI Transport Class 4
NSP - DECnet Phase IV Network Services Protocol
If TP4 is specified, it can be followed by an optional T-Sel value as a
series of hexadecimal digits after an equals sign. If an explicit T-Sel
value is not specified, the DECnet default of "TP4=DEC0" is assumed.
For example:
TP4=AB12 - The T-Sel value is set to "AB12"
TP4=AB1 - The T-Sel value is "AB10" (number of digits must be even)
TP4 - The T-Sel value is assumed to be "DEC0"
If a transport type is not specified, the default depends on the address.
NSP is used if the address is specified using Phase IV format, or
is an NSAP with an N-Sel value of "20".
TP4 is used if the address is an NSAP with an N-Sel value other
than "20".

2 Address_Field
!
This field indicates the node address. This can be specified using
either Phase IV format or NSAP format.
Phase IV format: .
.+
DNA NSAP format: ::-::
OSI NSAP format: +
See PHASE_IV_ADDRESSES and NSAP_ADDRESSES for more details.

2 Examples

Assuming that the Phase IV address prefix value is "49::", some examples
of address towers are:
Abbreviation Fully Specified
------------ ---------------
1.5 NSP/49::01:AA0004000504:20
1.5 NSP/49::01:AA0004000504:20
39:840:01:AA0004000504:20 NSP/39:840:01:AA0004000504:20
39:840:01:AA0004000504:21 TP4=DEC0/39:840:01:AA0004000504:21
TP4/39:840:01:AA0004000504:21 TP4=DEC0/39:840:01:AA0004000504:21
Examples of address towers using normal default values for both a DECnet
Phase IV node and a DECnet-Plus node might be:
TOWERS={1.5}
TOWERS={2.54, 39:840:01:AA0004000504:20, 39:840:01:AA0004000504:21}
