Using the LonTalk Interface Developer Utility

input network variables, the polled attribute changes the behavior of the

network management tool’s binder, which determines how a network variable
connection is managed.
See Developing a LonTalk Stack Device Application for more information about
propagation of network variable updates.

The Message Tag Table

Although the LonTalk Host stack does not use the message tag table, the

LonTalk Interface Developer utility declares the message tag table in FtxlDev.c
if you declare one or more message tags in the model file.
The message tag table lists all the message tags that are defined by your

application. It contains a flag for each message tag which indicates that the
message tag is not associated with an address table entry and therefore can only

be used for sending explicitly addressed application messages. This flag is set for
all message tags declared with the bind_info(nonbind) modifier in the model

file.
See Communicating with Other Devices Using Application Messages for more
information about using message tags.
