et7BitText Message is encoded using 7-bit GSM alphabet as in [03.38] (6.2). et8BitHexadecimal Message contains binary data encoded in hexadecimal format. Each two hexadecimal digits encode one byte of data. etUCS2Text Message contains Unicode character string encoded according to UCS2 coding. etISO88591 Message encoded as Latin 1 (ISO-8859-1). Support for this encoding may depend on SMSC configuration. etISO88595 Message encoded as Cyrllic (ISO-8859-5). Support for this encoding may depend on SMSC configuration. etISO88598 Message encoded as Latin/Hebrew (ISO-8859-8).

Events
OnTcpConnected
Event triggered on client connection on network protocol (TCP/IP) level.
public delegate void tcpConnectedEvent (TObject sender, tcpConnectedEventArgs e);
Description
The event informs that a clietn has connected to the server. It is then up to the server logic to decide whether to accept or reject such connection. In response to the event either tcpAcceptConnection or tcpCloseConnection should be called inside the event code.
Parameters
Sender
Object sending the event.
e
Object encapsulating event parameters.
int ClientID
- Component can serve multiple client connections. Each connection has uniqe, numerical identifier. This identifier is used to send responses to received protocol messages and to send protocol messages to particular client. If the value returned by ClientID equals -1 then the connection to which event is reported has been disconnected prior to processing of the message.
string RemoteHost
- IP address of the remote client that is about to connect to the server. In dotted numeric representation (e.g. "192.168.8.16").
int RemotePort
- Port number of the remote client that is about to connect to the server.
See Also
tcpConnectedEvent, tcpConnectedEventArgs, tcpAcceptConnection, tcpCloseConnection
OnTcpDisconnected
Event triggered on client disconnection on network protocol (TCP/IP) level.
public delegate void tcpDisconnectedEvent (TObject sender, tcpDisconnectedEventArgs e);
Description
The event informs about the tear down of connection between the component and the SMSC on the network layer level (TCP). Such situation may be due to disconnection by SMSC (as per the rules of protocol after the timeout of inactivity of the component, in the case when connection is not kept alive) and in the case of disconnection for other reasons concerning functioning of the network layer.
Parameters
Sender
Object sending the event.
e
Object encapsulating event parameters.
int ClientID
- Component can serve multiple client connections. Each connection has uniqe, numerical identifier. This identifier is used to send responses to received protocol messages and to send protocol messages to particular client. If the value returned by ClientID equals -1 then the connection to which event is reported has been disconnected prior to processing of the message.
int Reason
- When the result is zero the connection has been disconnected by remote party. When the result is -1 then connection has been ended by the component itself, because inproperly formatted response has been received during the attempt to communicate with the remote party. Positive value means Network Error Code.

int ClientID
- Component can serve multiple client connections. Each connection has uniqe, numerical identifier. This identifier is used to send responses to received protocol messages and to send protocol messages to particular client.

uint TransactionNumber
- Identifier of the request/response sequence exchanged between CIMD2 client and server. Response should have the same Transaction Number as request. Transaction Numbers are generated independently by client and server and should be unique for each peer.
int Code
- This field identifies the particular CIMD2 operation that is contained within the frame.
string Payload
- Protocol frame (also referred as PDU, Protocol Data Unit) consists of header (which contains Transaction Number, Command ID and Command Status) and message data. This property contains message data part, without header, in hexadecimal representation (each two hexadecimal digits represent one byte of data).

Properties
KeepAliveInterval
Connection keep-alive timing.
public int KeepAliveInterval { get; set; }
Description
Value in seconds denoting time interval between packages keeping the connection alive in case no other packages are exchanged with the SMSC. It should be set according to the SMSC operator's instructions and the speed of Internet connection between the component and the SMSC. Typically, this value amounts to one third of the time after which the SMSC breaks the connection in case of lack of activity. When set to zero keep alive packets are never sent to the SMSC.
ThrottleRate
Message throttling limit parameter.
public int ThrottleRate { get; set; }
Description
Determines maximum rate of messages submitted to the SMSC per second. If set to any value above 0 component counts number of messages submitted and limits the rate by waiting appropriate time inside cimd2SendDeliverMessage, cimd2SendDeliverStatusReport, ref cimd2SendSubmitMessageResponse functions. If the value is set to zero component does not limit the rate of delivered messages.
