The essential operational parameters for the Thread network.

```
var activeOperationalDataSet: Data? { get }
```

## Discussion

The framework parses this property, then extracts and sets [`channel`](/documentation/ThreadNetwork/THCredentials/channel),
[`extendedPANID`](/documentation/ThreadNetwork/THCredentials/extendedPANID), [`networkKey`](/documentation/ThreadNetwork/THCredentials/networkKey),
[`networkName`](/documentation/ThreadNetwork/THCredentials/networkName), [`panID`](/documentation/ThreadNetwork/THCredentials/panID),
and [`pskc`](/documentation/ThreadNetwork/THCredentials/pskc) when you call [`storeCredentials(forBorderAgent:activeOperationalDataSet:completion:)`](/documentation/ThreadNetwork/THClient/storeCredentials(forBorderAgent:activeOperationalDataSet:completion:)).
