RemoteChannel

Summary

If you are developing a Full client application, you can use

this property to specify the

Channel

to which your

application’s

NetworkServiceDevice

is attached

.

When a Full client application opens a system, OpenLNS

automatically determines the channel to which the

application’s NetworkServiceDevice is attached. However,

OpenLNS cannot determine the correct channel if the

channel is one of several channels connected by routers that

are configured as repeaters or permanent bridges (the Class

property is set to lcaRepeater, lcaPermanentRepeater or

lcaPermanentBridge).
In this scenario, you can set the RemoteChannel property to

specify the channel to which the NetworkServiceDevice is

attached. You must set this property before you open the

System

object. For more information on opening the System

object, see the OpenLNS Programmer’s Guide.
You must explicity set this property before it can be read. If

you attempt to read this property before it has been set, the

LCA, #150 lcaErrNotYetSet exception will be thrown.

Availability

Full client.
