This object defines a specific valid connection
configuration. It will specify the connection state of all
resource instances. If an instance of a resource is
not specified, then it is disconnected.
Each valid configuration is encoded in an ascii string, using
a specified format for interpretation. The specific
connections are in groups of four where each group defines a
specific connection configuration. The terms of the connection
group are defined as follows:
1st - Resource ID. The value is the same as
ctFDDIResourceID for a specific resource entry.
2nd - Instance of the resource. This has a value in
the range of 1 to ctFDDIResourceNumbInstance.
3rd - Path of the resource as input to the
multiplexor. Paths are specified as 1
for the primary ring and 2 for the secondary.
4th - This is the multiplexor output channel
that this resource comes out of the multiplexor.
This value is the same as a value of ctFDDIMuxOutID.
5th - Ring Connectivity. This sub-identifier
describes if the given mux-in resource
(sub-identifiers 1-3) is inserted into the backplane
FNB ring. Valid values are 0 for no 1 for yes.
So for example a value of 1.1.1.1.0.2.2.2.2.1 is resource 1,
instance 1 (primary) is on mux-out 1 and it's not inserted;
resource 2, instance 2 (secondary) is on mux-out 2 and
is inserted into the backplane.
If a valid configuration is no connections then this
object will have a value of '0.0.0.0.0'
