RMS Enterprise - NetLinx Programmer’s Guide
Understanding the RMS Client Connection Lifecycle
When the RMS client is loaded on the NetLinx platform, it follows a strict connection lifecycle. It may be helpful as a NetLinx
programmer to understand the connection states and how the RMS client transitions through the connection lifecycle. The RMS
Client contains the following connection states (FIG. 17):
INIT
DISABLED
OFFLINE
CONNECT-SERVER
CONNECT-FAIL
CONNECT-CLIENT
CONNECT-LOCATION
ONLINE-UNREGISTERED
ONLINE
REINITIALIZE
