Configuring the BrdcastScanner Configuration Point

There is no device-dependent information to be supplied in the scan config point for the BrdcastScanner, other than the name of the scan task -- BrdcastScanner -- and its capability -- 0 = poll/PRBX only.

The following table reviews the contents of the scan tasks table attribute in the scan config point:

  Field Number Field Name DE Type Possible Values
Required 0 scan task name rtBYTES16 "BrdcastScanner"
1 capability rtUINT32 0=polled/PRBX
Optional .
