Reports

System Configuration Query

When the host requests information using the System Configuration Query message, the Excel platform sometimes responds with the Generic Report message.

Active Conference ID Report

The host queries the total number of active conference IDs by sending the System Configuration Query message with Active Conference IDs (0x04) as the Query Type.

The Excel platform responds with a Generic Report message that indicates the IDs of the active conferences. Each Generic Report message can report a maximum of 50 Conference IDs. So for example, if a system has 100 conference IDs, two Generic Report messages are required.

Channel State Report

The host queries information on specific channels by sending a System Configuration Query message with Channel State (0x05) as the Query Type.

The Excel platform responds with the Generic Report message that displays the state of each channel in Layer 3 and Layer 4. The Excel platform sends a separate Generic Report message for each span queried.
