Re: Re: Vendor Id registration



No - within one message you can only use one schema but you can still
use several schema at once.  So for example your temp sensors could
report as both a xAPBSC text device and as a xAPTSC device and would
issue two adjacent messages , one in each schema.    That would give you
the maximum support with existing applications. You could even allow the
user to configure BSC , TSC or both.
