0x0009 Address Element TLV

Important! In the Address Element TLV, the Resource Attribute Configure message requires either the Expanded Span Channel AIB or the IP Address AIB, but not both. The Address Element Blocks TLV that follows can refer to either the Expanded Span/Channel AIB or to the IP Address AIB.

For Expanded Span/Channel AIB:

Use this TLV to address configuration to a specific channel. If you are changing the attributes of an existing connection, use the Channel address type (0x0D).

Used in:

For IP Address AIB:

Use this TLV to address configuration to a specific VoIP module.

If you are pre-configuring the attributes on a VoIP module, use the IP Address type (0x3E).
