Tx Request with TLS Profile - 0x23

Description

The frame gives greater control to the application over the TLS settings used for a connection.

A TX Request with TLS Profile frame implies the use of TLS and behaves similar to the TX Request (0x20) frame, with the protocol field replaced with a TLS Profile field to choose from the profiles configured with the $0, $1, and $2 configuration commands.

Note For NB-IoT, TCP support is dependent on the network. Contact your network provider for details.

Format

The following table provides the contents of the frame. For details on frame structure, see API frame format.

Field name Field value Data type Description

Frame type

0x23

Byte

 

Frame ID

 

Byte

Reference identifier used to match status responses. 0 disables the TX Status frame.

Destination address

 

32-bit big endian

 

Destination port

 

16-bit  big endian

 

Source port  

16-bit  big endian

If the source port is 0, the device attempts to send the frame data using an existing open socket with a destination that matches the destination address and destination port fields of this frame. If there is no matching socket, then the device attempts to open a new socket.

If the source port is non-zero, the device attempts to send the frame data using an existing open socket with a source and destination that matches the source port, destination address, and destination port fields of this frame. If there is no matching socket, the TX Status frame returns an error.

TLS profile

 

Byte

Zero-indexed number that indicates the profile as specified by the corresponding $<num> command.

Transmit options

 

Byte bitfield

Bit fields are offset 0

Bit field 0 - 7. Bits 0, and 2-7 are reserved, bit 1 is not.

BIT 1 =

1 - Terminate the TCP socket after transmission is complete

0 - Leave the socket open. Closed by timeout, see TM (IP Client Connection Timeout).

Ignore this bit for UDP packets.

All other bits are reserved and should be 0.

Payload

 

Variable

Data to be transferred to the destination, may be up to 1500 bytes.
