Configuring Triggers

The IP address and port used to transmit triggers is set using methods of the IATVEFAnnouncement interface. For more information, see Configuring Announcements.

The script transmitted in a trigger is set at the time of transmission, during the call to the IATVEFSend::SendTrigger method. Note that triggers cannot be longer than 1472 bytes. This is enforced by the SendTrigger method.

The ATVEFSnd.dll library does not provide methods to persist trigger information beyond the life of the Inserter or Multicast object. If your authoring tool requires this functionality, it must implement it.

For more information about configuring triggers, as well as sample code, see Creating Triggers.
