Receive Data From RPM
Applications can call this function to obtain data sent from the RPM.
This applies to both event and response type data from the RPM. Note
this is the only way to obtain response data originating from the RPM
as a result of issuing commands to it by means of other API functions
described in this document. The return code of all API functions
issuing commands to the modem only provides feedback about the
posted command. It does not guarantee delivery to the RPM. It is thus
imperative for applications to use ‘nclReceiveData()’ to obtain
feedback directly from the RPM on commands sent to it. Responses to
commands are asynchronous meaning multiple commands can be
issued to the RPM before the application needs to look at all the
responses. This is the reason why every command provides the
application with a copy of the unique SDU tag generated for the
command. Every response message contains the same SDU tag of its
associated command. The VDD uses the SDU tag to route response
messages to the originating application (client). The
‘nclReceiveData()’ function provides the SDU tag of the response
message. Applications can use these tags to tie up responses with
previously sent commands. One notable exception exist when the SDU
tag is equal to 65535 (FFFF hexadecimal). Only event messages
contain an SDU tag equal to 65535. The received event/ response
messages will be represented as an array of bytes which must be typed
cast to a structure identified by returned structure ID.
The RCV_MSG_NOTIFICATION event will be handled by the VDD,
which will read the messages from the RPM and pass the messages to
all clients with open sessions.
Other Event types shall be posted to all clients with open sessions
registered for that event. If no applications are registered for that event
the event will be disabled in the modem.
