Connectivity packages

A connectivity package is a software component that consists of executable code and
data which enables system tools to communicate with a device. Connectivity
packages are used to create configuration structures in PCM600. The latest PCM600
and connectivity packages are backward compatible with older device versions.
A connectivity package includes all the data which is used to describe the device. For
example, it contains a list of the existing parameters, data format used, units, setting
range, access rights and visibility of the parameters. In addition, it contains code
which allows software packages that use the connectivity package to properly
communicate with the device. It also supports localization of text even when it is read
from the device in a standard format such as COMTRADE.
Update Manager is a tool that helps in defining the right connectivity package versions
for different system products and tools. Update Manager is included with the products
that use connectivity packages.
