Acknowledgements
Some message codes require an acknowledgement from the receiver. In this case, the receiver should send either an acknowledgement (ACK) or negative-acknowledgement (NAK) within 1 second of receiving the message.
Message Group Name | Value |
---|---|
Acknowledgement | 0xFF |
Acknowledgement Code Name | Value |
---|---|
ACK | 0x01 |
NAK | 0x02 |
Acknowledgments should be sent directly after message is received so that the
sender can act accordingly. An acknowledgment should contain the message group
, code and current state for the message that it is referencing. For example, if
the Provider receives a message containing the ring action (0x04010002013C
),
it should acknowledge the action by sending back 0xFF0100040401013C
where:
- 0xFF: ACK event
- 0x01: ACK code
- 0x0004: Additional data length
- 0x0401: The action message group and code
- 0x013C: The current state of the action message group and code, ring right and 60 seconds timeout
For a NAK, the reason should also be included as the first byte of additional data. Reasons include:
- 0x00: Not supported
- 0x01: Device busy
- 0x02: Not allowed due to current state
- 0x03: Not allowed due to incorrect message authentication code
- 0x04: Redundant device action
From the previous example, if the ring were to be NAK'ed instead due to the
Provider being busy with another task, the returned packet should be set to
0xFF02000401040100
where
- 0xFF: ACK event
- 0x02: NAK code
- 0x0004: Additional data length
- 0x01: NAK reason, Device busy
- 0x0401: The action message group and code
- 0x00: The current state of the action message group and code, all components stop ringing
Example:
#define FP_MSG_ACK 0x01
#define FP_MSG_NAK 0x02
#define FP_MSG_GROUP_ACK 0xFF
static void fp_msg_send_ack(uint8_t msgGroup, uint8_t msgCode)
{
FP_MESSAGE_STREAM req = {FP_MSG_GROUP_ACK, FP_MSG_ACK, 0, 2};
req.data[0] = msgGroup;
req.data[1] = msgCode;
fp_send((uint8_t *)&req);
}
static void fp_msg_send_nak(uint8_t reason, uint8_t msgGroup, uint8_t msgCode)
{
//reason= 0x00: Not supported, 0x01: Device busy, or 0x02: Not allowed due to current state
FP_MESSAGE_STREAM req = {FP_MSG_GROUP_ACK, FP_MSG_NAK, 0, 3};
req.data[0] = reason;
req.data[1] = msgGroup;
req.data[2] = msgCode;
fp_send((uint8_t *)&req);
}
