parent object is determined by the means in which a child
object is accessed, not by the OpenLNS Object hierarchy.

some collection objects are not available to Independent
clients.

specified object.

desired.

this property exists for an object as soon as the object is
added to the API.
PingClass
Summary Determines the frequency with which a device is tested
(pinged) to determine if it is still attached to the network.
This property classifies devices based on the probability that
the device may be detached. The higher the probability, the
more frequently the device will be pinged. The Object Server
assumes a device to be detached if it cannot communicate
with that device three consecutive times.
Availability Local, full, and lightweight clients.
Syntax pingClassValue = Object.PingClass
Element Description

If this value is written to the
PingClass property, OpenLNS will
use the default
lcaPingClassStationary (3) value.
