GetDownlinkKey Method
Applies to: Session Control Object
This method obtains the downlink lookup key. This key comes from the network
interface name that is specified in the LNS application. For example, in the
"X.Default.Location-123" network interface name, the downlink lookup key is
"Location-123". It is the responsibility of the lookup extension component to map
this key to the database, and then fill the authentication and TCP parameters to
be used by the rest of the xDriver framework into the SCO in the
DownlinkLookup method.
For more information about the DownlinkLookup method, see DownlinkLookup
on page 164.
