channel.clearforbidden()

This function clears the list of channels specified from being forbidden to close.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Function Yes
Usage
channel.clearforbidden("channelList")
channelList
Details
The channelList parameter indicates the channels that will no longer be forbidden to close, and
may include:
▪
allslots or slotX (where X is 1 to 6 )
▪
Channel ranges or individual channels
▪
Analog backplane relays
This function allows all items contained in the channelList parameter to be closed. It removes the
"forbidden to close" attribute that can be applied to a channel using channel.setforbidden().
Command processing stops as soon as an error is detected. If an error is found, the channels are not
cleared from being forbidden to close.
Example
channel.clearforbidden("2002,2004,2006,2008")
channel.clearforbidden("allslots")
channel.clearforbidden("3005:3010")
