Socket number
When command messages are sent to the BRC-H700,
it is normal to send the next command message after
waiting for the completion message or error message
to return. However to deal with advanced uses, the
BRC-H700 has two buffers (memories) for commands,
so that up to two commands including the commands
currently being executed can be received. When the
BRC-H700 receives commands, it notifies the sender
which command buffer was used using the socket
number of the ACK message.
As the completion message or error message also has a
socket number, it indicates which command has ended.
Even when two command buffers are being used at
any one time, a BRC-H700 management command and
some inquiry messages can be executed.
The ACK message is not returned for these commands
and inquiries, and only the completion message of
socket number 0 is returned.
Command execution cancel
To cancel a command which has already been sent,
send the Cancel command as the next command. To
cancel one of any two commands which have been
sent, use the cancel message.
Cancel Packet
Cancel 8X 2Y FF
X = 1 to 7: BRC-H700/P address, Y = socket number
The Command canceled error message will be returned
for this command, but this is not a fault. It indicates
that the command has been canceled.
Note
Y = socket number
