gsm_control_code table — gsmcl

This is a generic table for holding device control codes. The category is used to define the purpose of the code. In addition, the owning_obj can optionally be used to define the device to which the code relates. If the owning_obj is left as 0, then it applies to all devices.

Table 4–13 lists the table’s FLA, fields, and foreign keys.

Table 4–13: gsm_control_code table information 

Table FLA	Fields (data type)	Foreign keys

Table 4–14 gives details of the table’s indexes.

Table 4–14: gsm_control_code index information 

Index name	Elements	Type

This might be used in a point-of-sale system where codes must be sent to a pole for various reasons, such as resetting the poll or making the message scroll. Different categories can be defined for each action. The owning_entity_mnemonic on the category determines the table to which the owning_obj relates. This is usually an application-specific device table.
