Description

The DevSpecific access the device-specific functions.

[Visual Basic]
Function DevSpecific(ByVal params() As Byte, [AddressID As Long]) As Boolean

[C#]
public Boolean DevSpecific ( byte[] params , Int32 AddressID )

Parameters

Params

Data block that want to send to the service provide. It can be the String or the byte array. The format of this parameter block is device specific and its contents are passed by TAPI to or from the service provider.

AddressID

An address identifier on the given line device. An address identifier is permanently associated with an address; the identifier remains constant across operating system upgrades.

Return values

If the method succeeds, return TRUE, otherwise return FALSE.

Remarks

This operation provides a generic parameter profile. The interpretation of the parameter block is device specific. Indications and replies that are device specific should use the OnDevSpecific event.

A service provider can provide access to device-specific functions by defining parameters for use with this operation. Applications that want to make use of these device-specific extensions should consult the device-specific (vendor-specific) documentation that describes which extensions are defined. Typically, an application that relies on these device-specific extensions is not portable to work with other service-provider environments.
