This method specifies which communication method the system uses for communication control.

• Old method

  This is a simple form of communication control. It is controlled by the communciation event. It has no concept for the operational area.

• New method

  This is a more sophisticated form of communcation control. It is controlled by the communication event, operational area, and the service types.

We recommend you use the old method.
