34 LonBridge Device Class File

LonBridge Device Class File Format

A LonBridge device class file is an XML document that the LonBridge Server

uses to define the interface for a device interface for a specified program ID.

When a device is discovered, the LonBridge Server searches the Classes directory

for a device class file with a matching program ID (see

Classes Directory

on page

13).
