Programming Manual

Abstract

This manual describes the Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI) interface to

Pathway/iTS product; it is intended for programmers writing applications that manage

Pathway/iTS. It describes the SPI commands and messages for Pathway/iTS

objects—those related to terminal control processes (TCPs), terminals, and intelligent

devices.
