1.4 Non-supported Functions

The MMS specification provides a rich variety of device/application functions of which only a sub-set are typically supported by MMS/AP/S7/H1 devices, typically MAP Classes 2 or 3.

The DAS for OMNI software can act as a MMS Server for a subset of MMS functions, ie. read, write and status.

For detailed information about the supported functions, see Chapter 3.
