4.8 Event Management
4.8.1 Model Description
The Event serves for sending an important message from one device to another (or
in broadcast mode to all other devices). The detection of the conditions that
cause an event is responsibility of the user. The application program invokes
the EventNotification service when the conditions are met. The monitoring and
checking of the (optional) acknowledgement is the responsibility of the user.
