Network Setup Protocol Structures and Data Types

■OTCfgRemoteServerPort (page 137) stores core conﬁguration information for the personal server.

■OTCfgRemoteTerminal (page 138) stores information used by the PPP terminal window.

■OTCfgRemoteUserMode (page 139) stores the current user mode and the administration password for the control panel.

■OTCfgRemoteX25 (page 140) stores X.25 connection information.

OTCfgRemoteAlternateAddress

The OTCfgRemoteAlternateAddress structure stores an alternate number to dial for outgoing ARA connections.

struct OTCfgRemoteAlternateAddress

{

UInt32	pad;
Str255	alternateAddress;
};
Field descriptions
pad	Must be zero.
alternateAddress A string containing the alternate number to dial.

The preference type for this preference is kOTCfgRemoteAlternateAddressPref, which is deﬁned as 'cead'.

OTCfgRemoteApplication

The OTCfgRemoteApplication structure stores information for the Remote Access application (or OT/PPP).

struct OTCfgRemoteApplication

{

UInt32 version;

This routine calls a routine, MyGetEntityUserVisibleName, which hasn’t been documented yet. It is shown in Listing 2-9 in the section “Reading and Writing Preferences” page Finding an Active Entity Reading and Writing PreferencesReading and Writing Preferences Reading Fixed-size PreferencesUsing Network Setup Listing 2-7 Reading a ﬁxed-size preferenceThe sample shown in Listing 2-7, which opens and closes the entity before reading each preference, is implemented in an inefﬁcient manner for the sake of clarity. If you are reading multiple preferences, it is more efﬁcient to open the entity once. Then read the preferences by calling OTCfgGetPrefs or OTCfgSetPrefs multiple times and close the entity when you’re done assertdbRef != nil assertentity != nil assertname != nil Reading Variable-size Preferences38 Reading and Writing Preferences Using Network SetupWriting Preferences Iterating the Preferences in an Entity Reading and Writing Preferences Using Network SetupWorking with Sets Finding the Active Set Entity The MyFindActiveSet routine in Listing 2-13 implements the ﬁrst two steps. It starts by getting a list of all of the set entities by calling the MyGetEntitiesList routine Listing 2-5. Then MyFindActiveSet iterates through all of the set entities, reading the kOTCfgSetsStructPref preference of each set entity. That preference maps to the CfgSetsStruct structure, which contains an fFlags member. One bit of the fFlags member, kOTCfgSetsFlagActiveMask, indicates whether this set entity is the active set entity. If it is, the routine breaks out of the loop and returns the set’s entity reference to the caller breaks out of the loop and returns the found entity Using Network Setup Listing 2-14 Finding the active entity of a given class and type46 Working with Sets Using Network Setup Listing 2-15 Finding the active TCP/IP entityWorking with Sets Areas and Sets TCP/IP Notes Protocol-speciﬁc Topicsaccess the preference in its packed format Using Network Setup Protocol-speciﬁc Topicscursor = UInt8 * packedPref Using Network Setup 52 Protocol-speciﬁc TopicsUInt8 *cursor Remote Access Notes OTCfgRemoteClientLocks page Modem NotesNetwork Setup and Third-party Protocol Stacks Notes for Third PartiesStoring Third-party Preferences in Apple Entities Using Network Setup 56 Notes for Third PartiesC H A P T E R Network Setup Reference Network Setup FunctionsOpening and Closing the Network Setup Database OTCfgCloseDatabase OTCfgOpenDatabaseManaging Areas OTCfgGetCurrentArea OTCfgOpenArea OTCfgSetCurrentAreaOTCfgCloseArea function result OTCfgBeginAreaModiﬁcationsfunction result OTCfgCommitAreaModiﬁcationsOTCfgAbortAreaModifications returns kCfgErrAreaNotFound OTCfgAbortAreaModiﬁcationsOTCfgIsSameAreaID function resultfunction result OTCfgGetAreaNamefunction result OTCfgSetAreaNameOTCfgGetAreasCount OTCfgGetAreasListfunction result function result that are available.
