Specifications

getInfo(8) – Encryption
The Encryption setting specifies what type of encryption is available in the module. It does not
indicate what encryption (if any) is enabled for the module.
Possible Encryption result codes for getInfo(8):
0 = None (no encryption support) This is deprecated. As of release 2.4, all nodes include support
for the option of Basic encryption.
1 = AES-128
2 = Basic encryption
getInfo(9) – RPC Packet Buffer
After you make an RPC call, a call to getInfo(9) returns an integer indicator of the packet buffer
number used for the RPC call. That integer can be used in a function hooked to the
HOOK_RPC_SENT event to determine that the processing of the packet buffer is complete. See the
HOOK_RPC_SENT details for more information.
getInfo(10) – Is Multicast
Use the Is Multicast call to determine if the function running was invoked by a multicast call
(meaning, other nodes on the network might also have heard the call and be running the function, too),
or by a more direct means (such as a direct RPC call to the node invoking the function, or because the
function was hooked to a timed event).
Possible Is Multicast result codes for getInfo(10):
0 = The RPC command currently being processed was received via an addressed RPC command
or was triggered by a system hook.
1 = The RPC command currently being processed was received via a multicast rather than a
direct RPC command.
getInfo(11) – Remaining TTL
The Remaining TTL value indicates how many “hops” a particular command had left before its end-
of-life when it was processed by the node. You can use this information to tune your TTL values for
your network to reduce broadcast chatter.
getInfo(12) – Remaining Tiny Strings
The Remaining Tiny Strings value indicates how many “tiny” string buffers remain unused in your
node. The size and number of tiny strings available on your node will vary depending on the
underlying hardware and firmware. See Section 10 for details specific to your platform.
getInfo(13) – Remaining Medium Strings
The Remaining Medium Strings value indicates how many “medium” string buffers remain unused in
your node. The size and number of medium strings available on your node will vary depending on the
underlying hardware and firmware. See Section 10 for details specific to your platform.
