3/12/2014

This structure specifies the parameters for making and maintaining a connection.

Syntax

typedef struct CM_CONNECTION_CONFIG
{
    DWORD Version;
    WCHAR szDescription[CM_CONNECTION_DESCRIPTION_LENGTH];
    CM_CONNECTION_TYPE Type;

    DWORD Characteristic[CMCH_LAST];

    CM_CONNECTION_CONNECT_BEHAVIOR ConnectBehavior;
    union
    {
        DWORD IdleDisconnectTimeoutSec;
        struct
        {
            CM_TIME_BASED_AUTO_RECONNECT_ALGORITHM ReconnectAlg;
            DWORD DelaySec;
            DWORD Attempts;
            DWORD AttemptsExceededDelaySec;

        } AutoReconnect;
        };

    BOOL fEnabled;
    DWORD cbTypeSpecificInfo;
    BYTE TypeSpecificInfo[1];

} CM_CONNECTION_CONFIG;

Members

• Version
  Version of this structure according to Connection Manager Common Constants.

• szDescription
  Description for this connection.

• Type
  A CM_CONNECTION_TYPE value.

• Characteristic
  A CM_CHARACTERISTIC enumeration value.

• ConnectBehavior
  Instance of a CM_CONNECTION_CONNECT_BEHAVIOR structure.

• IdleDisconnectTimeoutSec
  Number of seconds to wait before disconnecting a connection that is idle and has ConnectBehavior == CMCB_ON_DEMAND. The recommended default is 60 seconds.

  An idle connection occurs when no CmAcquireConnection calls have been made, or all CmAcquireConnection calls have been matched by CmReleaseConnection calls.

  The context and priority of the idle connection is the same as that of the last application to use the connection.

  The system will disconnect the connection before the timeout expires when there is another request of higher priority that requires some of the resources of the idle connection.

• ReconnectAlg
  Instance of a CM_TIME_BASED_AUTO_RECONNECT_ALGORITHM structure.

• DelaySec
  Number of seconds after a disconnection before a reconnect attempt is made. See: CM_TIME_BASED_AUTO_RECONNECT_ALGORITHM for the detailed explanation of the algorithm.

• Attempts
  Number of reconnection attempts to make. See: CM_TIME_BASED_AUTO_RECONNECT_ALGORITHM for the detailed explanation of the algorithm.

• AttemptsExceededDelaySec
  Number of seconds between each connection attempt after the Attempts parameter has been exceeded. See: CM_TIME_BASED_AUTO_RECONNECT_ALGORITHM for the detailed explanation of the algorithm.

• AutoReconnect
  Name of this sub structure.

• fEnabled
  TRUE: Attempt to connect and reconnect.

  FALSE: No connections will be attempted.

• cbTypeSpecificInfo
  Byte length of the TypeSpecificInfo member.

• TypeSpecificInfo[1]
  Pointer to the information specific to a connection type. For more information, refer to the specific header files, for example CmCspRas.h or CmCspWiFi.h.

Requirements

Header	cmnet.h
Library	cmnet.lib
