The

Subsystems

collection accessed through the ALL subsystem contains all objects in the

network database, including the subsystems in the system that are managed by the LNS

client applications. This includes transient objects that OpenLNS uses that should not be

accessed by client applications. In general, you should not use the ALL subsystem.

The following table summarizes the Subsystems object.

Summary

Defines a new Subsystem object.

A subsystem is an object

that contains other subsystems, application devices, and

routers.

A subsystem is an object that contains other subsystems,

application devices, and routers. Subsystems can be used to

organize devices just as directories can be used to organize

files. For example, each subsystem could represent

groupings of devices in a room, or on a single floor of a

building.
For more detailed information about subsystems and how

they fit into the OpenLNS Object Hierarchy, see the

OpenLNS Object Server Hierarchy section in the OpenLNS

Programmer’s Guide.
