6.2 RPT Command/Response
The following is an example of an RPT command sent from MCS to DP. This example assumes the
MIB fragment shown in Figure 1. MCS sends the message
DP’MCSRPT’’’’’1391’’’3’54828’12345678’B21
which is interpreted as a request for the data value associated with MIB index 2.1.
In response, DP sends the message
MCSDP’RPT’’’’’1391’’’5’54828’12345698’A’NORMAL’’3.4
in which DP is indicating that B21 = 3.4. Note that all 5 bytes of data value (per the specification
of Figure 1) are sent.
The following example is different only in that multiple values are requested simultaneously using a
single branch index. MCS sends the message
DP’MCSRPT’’’’’1391’’3’54828’12345678’C22
In response, DP sends the message
MCSDP’RPT’’’’’1391’’5’54828’12345698’A’NORMALPRR’7
in which DP is indicating that D 221 = “PRR” and E222 = 7. Again, note that all bytes of the data
value (per the specification of Figure 1) are sent. This is particularly important as MCS will simply
count bytes to parse the DATA field into MIB entry data.
