This class is implemented by consumers of the ChannelManager mechanism.

Method Summary

Logger	getLogger() This logger is used to inform the user of manager state transitions and other relevant information from each of the channels.
void	initialize() Called after the channels are all activated, this method should perform any necessary initialization, such as setting listeners, authenticating to a device, and setting up current application state on the device.
void	listenerExecute(Runnable r) Called whenever asynchronous input needs to be processed.
String	toString() The ChannelManager uses the toString() method to get a printable name which is used in log messages issued when the channel changes state.
