Network Setup Protocol Structures and Data Types

OTCfgRemoteDialing

The OTCfgRemoteDialing structure stores settings for outgoing ARA connections.

struct OTCfgRemoteDialing {

UInt32	version;
UInt32	fType;
UInt32	additionalPtr;
OTCfgRemoteRedialMode	dialMode;
UInt32	redialTries;
UInt32	redialDelay;
UInt32	pad;

};

Field descriptions

version	Depending how the preference was constructed, version
	may be kOTCfgRemoteDefaultVersion or
	kOTCfgRemoteAcceptedVersion. When reading the version
	ﬁeld, accept either value. When writing the version ﬁeld,
	set it to kOTCfgRemoteDefaultVersion.
fType	Must be ‘dial’.
additionalPtr	Must be zero.
dialMode	The redial mechanism to use. For possible values, see the
	OTCfgRemoteDialMode (page 168) enumeration.
redialTries	The number of times to redial if a connection cannot be
	made. Only valid if dialMode is not kOTCfgRemoteRedialNone.
redialDelay	The number of milliseconds to wait before redialing. The
	value of redialDelay is only valid if dialMode is not
	kOTCfgRemoteRedialNone.
pad	A pad byte whose value must be zero.

The preference type for this preference is kOTCfgRemoteDialingPref, which is deﬁned as 'cdia'.

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 46 Working with Sets Using Network SetupListing 2-14 Finding the active entity of a given class and type Working with Sets Using Network SetupListing 2-15 Finding the active TCP/IP entity Areas and Sets TCP/IP Notes Protocol-speciﬁc Topicsaccess the preference in its packed format cursor = UInt8 * packedPref Using Network SetupProtocol-speciﬁc Topics UInt8 *cursor Using Network Setup52 Protocol-speciﬁc Topics Remote Access Notes OTCfgRemoteClientLocks page Modem NotesStoring Third-party Preferences in Apple Entities Network Setup and Third-party Protocol StacksNotes for Third Parties C H A P T E R Using Network Setup56 Notes for Third Parties Opening and Closing the Network Setup Database Network Setup ReferenceNetwork Setup Functions OTCfgCloseDatabase OTCfgOpenDatabaseManaging Areas OTCfgGetCurrentArea OTCfgOpenArea OTCfgSetCurrentAreaOTCfgCloseArea function result OTCfgBeginAreaModiﬁcationsfunction result OTCfgCommitAreaModiﬁcationsOTCfgAbortAreaModifications returns kCfgErrAreaNotFound OTCfgAbortAreaModiﬁcationsOTCfgIsSameAreaID function resultfunction result OTCfgGetAreaNamefunction result OTCfgSetAreaNamefunction result OTCfgGetAreasCountOTCfgGetAreasList function result that are available.
