Description
The sk_associateChannelGroup() function is used to manage the physical channels mapping to logical channel groups. When the automatic configuration facilities in EXS SwitchManager are used, this function is not needed. If a group does not exist, sk_associateChannel
Group() automatically creates the group. The function call is cumulative, so if you want to build a non-contiguous set of channels, just issue multiple sk_associateChannelGroup() function calls. This function is also available as sk_associateChannelGroupOnConnection() and skts_associateChannelGroup().
int sk_associateChannelGroup(char *aChannelGroup, int aStartSpan, int aStartChannel, int anEndSpan, int anEndChannel);
int sk_associateChannelGroupOnConnection(char *aChannelGroup, int aStartSpan, int aStartChannel, int anEndSpan, int anEndChannel, int aConID);
int skts_associateChannelGroupOnConnection(char *aChannelGroup, int aStartSpan, int aStartChannel, int anEndSpan, int anEndChannel, int aConID);
The function parameters are shown in the table below.
