Re: Re: using intranet.ocx to build an application



Yes as Kevin says in xAP v1.2 the subID can be 01-FE (254 endpoints).
The subID of 00 is reserved for the device itself (rather than its
endpoints) and FF is just reserved.  If however you move to xAP v1.3
there is no limit to the number of sub addresses

xAP v12  uid=FF1234AB
xAP v13 uid=FF.1234:AB
The three segments in the uid address can be any even number of digits
eg uid=FF.123456.AABBCCDD
should you wish
again all 0's or all FF's in any segment are reserved/special meaning

Now I know James said that his OCX based applications were xAP v1.3
compatible but he didn't actually mention if in the latest OCX you can
send and receive xAP v1.3 messages.
James ??
