158 LNS Methods and Events for xDriver Support
Element Description
netName A string that represents the LNS network name of the network that
requested the session.
intfName A string that represents the network interface name of the network
that requested the session.
tag This value must be used when the AcceptIncomingSession method
is called to accept or reject the session.
Remarks
After an uplink session request has been received and this event has fired, use
the AcceptIncomingSession method to accept or reject the request. The Tag
element passed to this event is used by the AcceptIncomingSession method to
identify the xDriver session. The other elements can be used to open the network
if the incoming session is accepted.
Important: Do not open the network within the event handler. Instead, signal
your main thread to open the network by posting a message or using a timer.
ReleasePendingUpdates
Applies to: Application device object
Call this method to release monitor-point update events withheld after the
PostponeUpdates field in the AcceptIncomingSession method is set to True.
Syntax
appDevice.ReleasePendingUpdates
Table 42. ReleasePendingUpdates Parameters
Element Description
appDevice The AppDevice object being acted upon.
Remarks
The AcceptIncomingSession method includes a PostponeUpdates parameter.
If this parameter is set to True when a session is accepted, monitor-point
updates for the network involved in this session are withheld until this method is
called. Withholding the updates ensures that no monitor-point update events are
lost before the network that requested the uplink session is opened, and that the
application receives the monitor-point update event that caused the uplink
session request.
The ReleasePendingUpdates method must be called after the monitor set for
the remote network involved in the session is enabled. For an example of this,
see Uplink Sample Application on page 142.
