Session ID
This ID is used for implementations which need to identify a once registered user in other applications or RCP sessions.
Numeric Descriptor
The Numeric Descriptor specifies an attribute for components which are installed more than one time inside the VideoJet, e.g. inputs or relays. The first component is always counted as 1. If this field is not applicable to the command in this packet, a value of zero should be inserted.
Payload Length
The number of data bytes inside the payload section. The length field itself is not counted.
Reserved
This byte is returned by the VideoJet unchanged. It is up to the user to setup a request ID here to assign the replies to multiple pending requests .

RCP Protocol Procedure
Request / Reply
The VideoJet unit will send back a reply on each incoming request. In some protocol functions the reply will carry no data.
NOTE: A reply from a write command which is not readable will be an
RCP_ERROR_READ_NOT_SUPPORTED (error code 0x90)
This means that it is not possible to determine correct setting of the command.
Messages
A message will be generated on the VideoJet on certain events (see RCP command for details). If an RCP client is registered to receive a certain message (e.g. an input state has changed), the VideoJet will generate it. The message has the same payload format as the response to a Read command of the same tag, except the reserved byte. The reserved byte is used as sequence number.
RCP is capable of sending messages on certain events. Before an RCP client can receive these messages, a registration at the VideoJet is necessary.
RCP Errors
The packet will have the standard layout with the method field set to ‘Error’. The first bytes of the payload section contains error cause. If the error code is RCP_ERROR_COMMAND_SPECIFIC, then the command specific error (see RCP command for details) is included in the second byte. The following generic error codes are defined:
RCP_ERROR_UNKNOWN
0xFF
RCP_ERROR_INVALID_VERSION
0x10
RCP_ERROR_NOT_REGISTERED
0x20
RCP_ERROR_INVALID_CLIENT_ID
0x21
RCP_ERROR_INVALID_METHOD

RCP_ERROR_WRITE_ERROR
0x70
RCP_ERROR_PACKET_SIZE
0x80
RCP_ERROR_READ_NOT_SUPPORTED
0x90
RCP_ERROR_INVALID_AUTH_LEVEL
0xa0
RCP_ERROR_INVAILD_SESSION_ID
0xb0
RCP_ERROR_TRY_LATER
0xc0
RCP_ERROR_TIMEOUT
0xd0
RCP_ERROR_NO_LICENCE (used by NVR only)
0xe0
RCP_ERROR_COMMAND_SPECIFIC
0xf0
RCP_ERROR_ADDRESS_FORMAT
0xf1
Note the error code 0xc0 RCP_ERROR_TRY_LATER indicates, that the VideoJet recognizes the command, but it cannot be processed immediately. The client should repeat this command later.
A list of all defined command specific error codes can be found in the Appendix.
RCP over a HTTP tunnel
Many network installations includes firewalls to protect network segments against unauthorisized access. In many cases, the HTTP port (80) is enabled by default to gain Internet access. For this purpose, RCP offers a second network port.
As the VideoJet has a built in webserver, the connection can be made to the webserver, the token
“GET /rcp_tunnel HTTP1.0\r\n\r\n”
advices the webserver to pass this socket to the RCP server. From that point on, the client is connected to the RCP server and can immediately cointinue with RCP registration.
Note: the delimiters ‘\r’ and ‘\n’ are written here in C notation; in the TCP packet to the server these delimiters corresponds with the ASCII codes 0x0d and 0x0a.
Example:
Establish a TCP connection to port 80 at your Videjet
Proceed in the same manner as a normal RCP connection
Receiving media data
The VideoJet is capable for tunneling media data through HTTP. In some network environments this might be helpful.
When using this mechanism, the connect primitive must set the “RTP over TCP” for the media encapsulation protocol. The response for Media host and port can be ignored. After that, a TCP connection to the HTTP port must be established. By sending the string
GET /media_tunnel/SSSSSSSS/CC/DD/LL/CO HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n
SSSSSSS
The session ID returned from the connect primitive (padded with leading zeros to 8)
CC
The media type (see connect primitive; 01=video, 02=audio)
DD
direction of media (01=receive media, 00=transmit media)
LL
the line input number
CO
The relative coder number
When the HTTP server inside the VideoJet received this string, it passes this socket to the RCP. From that point on, media data will be transferred over this socket using TPKT encapsulation (see chapter Packetizing in the TCP Stream).
The coder numbers that have to be used to establish the media tunnels is a relative one that isn't unique when using video as media type. The video and meta data can have the same relative coder number and have the same media type.
In that case the optional index parameter might be used to distinguish the media channels:
GET /media_tunnel/SSSSSSSS/CC/DD/LL/CO?index=n HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n
where n is the number of the initial connect primitive channel position starting at 1.
E.g the ConnectPrimitive request contains a Get Video, a Get Audio and a Get Meta section, then the index for video would be 1, the index for audio 2 and the index for meta would be 3.
When all sockets of a session are in data sending mode, a RCP message MEDIA_SOCKETS_COMPLETE with the associated session ID will be sent out to the initiator of the session. This is useful when
a session is used for replay; the replay PLAY command can securely be applied when the MEDIA_SOCKETS_COMPLETE message has been arrived.
RCP over CGI
RCP+ command my also be encapsulated in CGI (Common Gateway Interface) using a standard web browsers URL. All needed parameters are passed to the HTTP server
of the video server which tunnels the RCP+ commands to the RCP server. The reply returned is a text based XML structure.
The CGI interface may also be used by a HTTP client written from the scratch based on RFC 1945 (HTTP 1.0) using 'GET' method. The unit's HTTP server will only examine 'Connection: Keep-Alive' and optional 'Authorization: ' header fields. See RFC for implementing details.
Valid CGI parameters:
command
Values:
The RCP+ command tag number
type
Values:
F_FLAG
T_OCTET
T_WORD
T_DWORD
P_OCTET
P_STRING
P_UNICODE
direction
Values:
READ
WRITE
num
Values:
The numeric parameter
payload
Values:
The payload as readable string for payload type P_STRING
The payload as octet array with no spaces preceeded with 0x for payload type P_OCTET and P_UNICODE
The payload value in hex or decimal notion for all other payload types
Optional CGI parameters:
idstring
Values:
User defined parameter which will not be processed by the unit; will return unchanged in the reply
sessionid
Values:
Context specific session ID for this command
Multiple parameters are passed in CGI manner with '&' in between two parameter-value pairs.
A sample request to readout the units hardware version will look like
The upper part contains the request, the <result> contains the reply. Numerical values are presented in <hex> and <dec>, strings, unicodes and p_octet in <str> sections.
Message handling
RCP+ messages will be processed and received by the CGI client using a poll mechanism. A CGI command set with the requested messages command tag numbers need to
be issued. After issuing a request, the reply returns immediately after a message has been sent or the default timeout of 1000 ms has been expired. When the timeout
expires, an empty message list is returned. Otherwise the received messages are listed. If there are several messages in the list, they are ordered from oldest to newest.
The default timeout can be altered by setting the 'collectms' CGI value to the appropriate number of milliseconds.
In order to ensure correct assignment of messages in case several clients are polling for messages or if a polling client uses different socket connections, a unique
message domain ID (CGI parameter 'msgdomainID') should be provided. Messages are then collected separately for each ID and can be uniquely assigned to the polling
client even if requesting via different socket connections.
Valid CGI commands to control messages:
message
Values:
One or a list of requested message RCP+ command tag numbers separated by '$'
collectms
Values:
Time in milliseconds to collect messages before returning with 'No messages'; default is 1000 ms; maximum is 60000 (1 minute)
msgdomainID
Values:
Unique ID (maximum 4 Bytes) to identify a certain polling client and to e.g. ensure correct message assignment to clients
sending requests via different socket connections. The ID is choosen by the polling client
A buffer mechanism ensures that no messages will be lost during two consecutive poll cycles. The maximum buffering time is 10 seconds after the last poll request returned
(either with a message list or due to timeout).
A sample request to receive all connection related messages (CONF_CONNECT_TO) will look like:
The RCP+ server needs proper authentication to process protected commands. The CGI interface provides two basic authentication schemes to be used.
Using http authentication
In this case, HTTP header authentication (basic or digest) must be present in the request. The internal HTTP server will pass the granted authorization level to the RCP+ server.
Using session cookie
For each successful HTTP authentication (for all available resources like html pages, images...) a session cookie will be returned by the HTTP server. When this cookie is present in any further HTTP connections, the same authorization level will be granted as for the originating connection. The session cookie will remain active as long as at least one HTTP connection remains open.
In this case the internal HTTP server will pass the granted authorization level to the RCP+ server.
IPv6
For RCP commands which are defined as T_DWORD or P_OCTET and contain DWORD IP-Addresses
There is a extension to read or write also IPv6 addresses or Hostnames
e.g. URL:
http://ip.ip.ip.ip/rcp.xml?command=0x0a1f&type=T_DWORD&direction=WRITE&payload=0x00000000&ip-item0=fd00::55:77
or
http://ip.ip.ip.ip/rcp.xml?command=0x0a1f&type=T_DWORD&direction=WRITE&payload=0x00000000&ip-item0=MyHostname.de
Where payload must contain a 4 byte index to the trailing list of ip-item0..ip-itemn
The reply XML structure will then have this format:
Where payload contains a 4 byte index to the ip-table list for each address contained in the command
if the command datatype is P_OCTET and the command does contain more IP-Addresses then the result will contain multipe item blocks.
Alternative formats for the item blocks are also possible:
If a list is supplied the ALL addresses MUST be in the list also in the case that they are IPv4 type
Autodetecting Devices
Bosch Security Systems products are being detected on a network using an IP broadcast to either the static UDP port 1757 or to the configurable UDP discover port. The default port number for the configurable discover port is 1800, and it can be modified with the RCP command CONF_DISCOVER_PORT (0x0976). In addition to the possibility to send a scan request packet to the broadcast destination address of 255.255.255.255, the discover port of the devices listens for scan requests sent to the configurable multicast group, which can be set by means of the RCP command CONF_AUTODETECT_REPLY_GROUP (0x0956). The default multicast detect group is 225.86.67.83.
Devices generate and transmit their replies to an autodetect request with a random delay of up to 2 seconds. When implementing your own detection software, please bear in mind that, when calculating the necessary waiting period until all replies are received, additionally to the possible span of max 2 seconds, you need to consider the time necessary to process the reply as well as the time the packet spends on the wire and in propagation devices like switches or routers on its way to and back from the device to be detected.
The scanned devices send their replies either to the source IP address of the request, or to the broadcast address 255.255.255.255. In case the source IP address of the request resides inside the same subnet, that is defined by the scanned device's IP address and it's subnet mask, the reply is addressed to the source IP address in the request. If the originator is not located in the same subnet as the scanned device, the reply is addressed to the broadcast address 255.255.255.255. In case of a scan request sent to the device via the multicast scan group, the reply is addressed to the same multicast group.
An autodetect scan request packet must consist of an autodetect request header, that may or may not be preceeded by an RCP plus protocol header for command id CONF_RCP_AUTODETECT (0xffdc). In case of an existing RCP plus protocol header in the scan request, the length field of the RCP plus protocol header must contain the length of the autodetect request header.
The format for the autodetect request header as well as for the autodetect reply is shown below:

The number of bytes given in this section can vary depending on the device and the firmware version.
The following device capability tags are supported: DEVICE_TYPE, PTZ_CAMERA, NBR_VIDEO_IN, PLATFORM_TYP, VIRTUAL_LINES.
Optional Extension: Targeting Autodetect Scans at devices matching certain criteria
The autodetect process can be targeted at a certain group of devices identified by a defined criteria. This sort of autodetect is device-wise only handled, when sent to the configurable UDP port, whose default port number is 1800. It is not possible via the static autodetect port 1757.
To perform a targeted autodetect scan, an extension needs to be added to the usual autodetect scan command. For these targeted kinds of autodetect scans, it is obligatory that the scan packet consists of an RCP plus protocol header, the autodetect request header and the extension itself.
The bytes of this extension are considered in the length field of a preceeding RCP header.
16
32
Scan Extension Identifier 4 Bytes
Size 4 Bytes
Scan Extension Identifier
The scan extension identifier determines the criteria that needs to be matched by the scanned devices in order to reply to the request.
Currently the following possible criteria are defined:
MAC address
0x1
Size
The Size field of the extension informs about the number of bytes used in the extension.
The number includes the 4 bytes of the Scan Extension Identifier field, the 4 bytes of the Size field itself
and the length of the following payload in bytes.
In case of the MAC address extension, the Size field is followed by one or more MAC addresses of 6 bytes length each.
A scan extension limiting the autodetect scan to 2 devices, the size field of the scan extension should contain a value of 20.
(4 bytes Scan Extension Identifier + 4 bytes Length + 6 bytes first MAC address + 6 bytes second MAC address)
Retrieving thumbnail JPEGs using the Autodetecting Broadcast Mechanism
The Bosch Security Systems products support a mechanism that allows to retrieve thumbnail JPEGs via a broadcast autodetect mechanism. The mechanism requires to send a UDP packet similar to the autodetect scan packet to the configurable autodetect port of the device, whose default port number is 1800. The device replies with a packet containing the thumbnail JPEG. The JPEG retrieval can not be accomplished via the static autodetect port 1757.
Format of the request packet of an autodetect based JPEG request
The request packet triggering the autodetect based JPEG retrieval consists of an RCP plus protocol header and an autodetect based JPEG request header, followed by a MAC list scan extension.
RCP plus protocol header
The RCP plus protocol header's command id field is set to 0x099e (CONF_JPEG). The data type field is set to 0x0c (P_OCTET). The numeric descriptor field identifies the line of the targeted device, from which the JPEG is to be retrieved. The length field of the request indicates the number of payload bytes and therefore is to be set to the length of the autodetect based JPEG request header plus the length of the scan extension (e.g. 12 bytes for autodetect based JPEG request header, 8 bytes for scan extension header and 6 bytes for MAC address = 26 bytes).
Autodetect based JPEG Request Header
The first four bytes of the autodetect based JPEG request header consist of a static magic number, that is always set to the values given in the table below. The sequence number given in the request is returned in the reply, so that replies can be matched to the respective request.

32
0x4b 1 Byte
0xa5 1 Byte
0xc3 1 Byte

Sequence Number 4 Bytes
0x00 1 Byte
0x00 1 Byte
Reply Port 2 Bytes
8
24
Sequence Number
This sequence number must be a randomized number.
Reply Port
Specifies the reply UDP port
e.g. RP1 0x06; RP2 0xDE -> reply port: 1758
MAC list scan extension
The autodetect based JPEG request can only be targeted at selected devices. To announce the scope of the request, extending the request packet by a MAC list scan extension, like it is defined in the chapter "Autodetecting Devices" of this document, is obligatory. As the intended use of this JPEG retrieval mechanism is limited to situations where the regular JPEG retrieval mechanisms (HTTP request for the JPEG, RCP request of CONF_JPEG within a regular RCP+ client session, etc.) do not work, the MAC list of the scan extension is limited to 1 MAC address, i.e. only one JPEG from one device can be retrieved at a time.
Format of the reply packet to an autodetect based JPEG request
The reply packet to the request for an autodetect based broadcast JPEG consists of an RCP plus protocol header and an autodetect based JPEG request header, followed by the JPEG data.
RCP plus protocol header
The RCP plus protocol header's command id field is set to 0x099e (CONF_JPEG). The data type field is set to 0x0c (P_OCTET). The numeric descriptor field identifies the line of the targeted device, from which the JPEG was retrieved. The length field of the reply indicates the number of payload bytes and therefore is to be set to the length of the autodetect based JPEG request header plus the length of the JPEG thumbnail.
Autodetect based JPEG Request Header
The autodetect based JPEG request header in the reply is byte for byte a copy of the same header in the respective request.
JPEG thumbnail
The JPEG thumbnail data follows the autodetect based JPEG request header.
Setting an IP Address using Broadcast Mechanism
If the current IP address of a device doesn’t match the subnet settings, this unit cannot be reached using the standard Remote Control Protocol. All IP parameters of a VideoJet can be set using a UDP broadcast message to port 1759.
This is supported for IPv4 broadcast 255.255.255.255
And also for IPv6 multicast to (link-scope all-hosts multicast) ff02::1

Request or setting of system or network parameters using Broadcast Mechanism
In addition to the SETTING_AN_IP_ADDRESS_USING_BROADCAST, an additional way to setup non network configured devices has been introduced. The device itself is selected using the ethernet mac address as the first parameter inside the command structure. A list of commands including payload length information may be added. All commands must be addressed using UDP broadcast message to port 1760.

Extension for RCP+ commands containing IPv6 addresses or host names
For transmitting IPv6 addresses or host names in RCP+ Commands there is a string table extension in firmware version 5.50 and later.
The layout of the RCP+ commands remains the same as it was in earlier firmware versions and it is compatible to older clients as long
as only IPv4 Addresses are transmitted.
If IPv6 Addresses are contained in the command then this extension has to be used.

Data

Rules for using the table
- The "StringTable" extension is an option.
- If the RCP-Data contain any IP-Address which current(!) value is other than an IPv4 type then the
StringTable option must be used.
- If the RCP-Data does not contain any IP-Address which current(!) value is other than an IPv4 type then the
StringTable option should NOT be used to be compatible with older firmware versions and with commands which
might not (yet) support this feature.
- If the StringTable is used then:
1. The string_table_avail flag must be set to 1 in the RCP+ Header
2. All IP-values within "RCP-Data" must be stored in the string table (also when they are IPv4 values)
3. The DWORD-field in "RCP-Data" (which normally would store the IPv4 value) has to contain an offset-pointer to the
location in the string table where the actual IP-Address-value can be found.
Offset has to be calculated from "Head of StringTable Header" to "Head of StringTable Entry Header" in Bytes.
4. There is only one StringTable allowed in an RCP+ Packet.
5. The len field of the RCP+ Header must NOT include the size of the StringTable.
6. The len field of the TPKT Header (Framing Header) MUST include the size of the StringTable.
(This means: RCP-Packet and StringTable are both content of the same TPKT Packet)
RCP Command Notification
A RCP client can register for a special message CONF_RCP_CMD_NOTIFICATION (0xff23) in order to be informed when any other RCP+ command is written to the device.
The message is sent out at a frequency of maxium 100ms and contains the tag codes of all RCP+ commands with the direction 'write' that have been processed by the device since the last message.
If no RCP+ command was written within this time, no message will be sent. Besides the tag codes the message contains some more information about the commands as described below.
The payload of the message contains one or multiple elements of the following structure (one element for each RCP command).
The maxium number of elements is 32.

Timeout handling
The RCP server has to deal with lots of RCP connections at the same time. If an RCP client is going down without notification to the server, an orphan table entry will remain. To avoid this, a timeout mechanism is provided. Each RCP client must show any activity within 10 minutes. After this time the registration of a specific RCP client is invalid. For easy handling, the RCP client can register itself for an RCP_CLIENT_TIMEOUT_WARNIG message. The client will be notified 1 minute before the timeout occurs.
The timeout renewal can be achieved by any RCP read or write command. A good advise is to read the RCP_CLIENT_REGISTRATION.

NOTE: The lease time should be treated as a request; the VideoJet may switch leases before the requested time is over due to a higher prioritized RCP client
For this direction, an RCP Write command to a specific port (addressed by the Numeric Descriptor) is necessary. Once the VideoJet has received a TRANSFER_TRANSPARENT_DATA command, it checks whether the RCP client is in control or not. If the RCP client is allowed to send data to the serial interface, the reply will present an OK. If the RCP client is not allowed to send data, a FAIL will be returned. In this case another RCP client is controlling the serial out.
The timeout and priority handling of the serial ports is beyond the scope of this document.

If no client has a lease on the serial port, a message to all registered clients will be generated.
NOTE: The received message will carry NO header.

Switching Media Channels
Each RCP client may have different media sources and media receivers. To connect these media channels, a low level connect/disconnect primitive is implemented. These low level primitives can be grouped together to more complex commands, which can connect more than one media channel at the same time.
The primitives are designed to be asserted by media sources or receivers itself. Manager software should use the high level commands (see next chapter).
Using GET
By sending a CONNECT GET to the remote endpoint, this endpoint will start sending media to the requested address. For example, a VideoJet receiver is registered at a VideoJet transmitter. On sending a ‘CONNECT GET video to port 1234’ to the transmitter, the transmitter starts to send video to the appropriate port at the receiver.
The endpoint requesting the media stream (the VideoJet receiver) must be prepared to receive the stream from the network.
The coding bits for video must be set according to the receivers capability to decode the data stream. E.g. a Decoder capable of decoding MPEG2 and MPEG4 should set all these bits.
Using PUT
By sending a CONNECT PUT to the remote endpoint, the endpoint will prepare itself for receiving data from the one initiating the request. For example, a VideoJet transmitter is registered at a VideoJet receiver. On sending a ‘CONNECT PUT video to port 2222’ to the receiver, the receiver will prepare its network stack to receive data from the appropriate port.
The endpoint initiating the media stream (the VideoJet transmitter) must start sending the media stream to the network.
The coding bits for video must be set to a value suitable to the current encoding parameters inside the VideoJet. E.g. if a video encoder is set to encode MPEG4, only a PUT request having these bits set is accepted.
The coder parameter is used to address a specific encoder/decoder inside the VideoJet. As the VideoJet may have a Dual-stream feature, one physical line input might be connected to more than one encoder.
By setting a coder to another value than 0, the VideoJet only tries this specific coder to establish a connection. When the coder value is set to 0, all coders inside the system will be checked.
Each connect primitive will result in a Session ID for maintaining and controlling the media stream with other RCP commands. The Session ID can be treated as unique on the entire system.
DISCONNECT
By sending a DISCONNECT supplied with a valid Session ID, the receiver of the command will stop sending/receiving to/from the media stream.
The endpoint initiating the DISCONNECT command must stop receiving/sending from/to the media stream.

Key transport
When the media key bit is selected in the header flags, a variable length key field is appended at the end of the media descriptor.
The key field has the following structure

method 1 Byte
bytes valid 1 Byte
status tag 1 Byte
reserved 1 Byte
key data 4 Bytes

24
method
must be set to 'Key transport' 0xE0
bytes valid
the number of valid key bytes in this header
status tag
must be set to 'Key transport tag' 0xE0
key data
the key payload
The media key is transferred using a sequence of key headers all with the method field set to 0xE0. The end of the key section is marked by a header with less than 4 bytes (or zero) indicated in the bytes valid field.
The typical key length is 16 bytes (128 bit AES). In this case, four full key headers followed by one empty header must be transferred (4 x 4 bytes valid + 1 x 0 bytes valid = 16 bytes)
For backward compatibility, the header method 0xE0 will be skipped by units with former firmwares versions.
The key is located and stored on each media source (using the CONF_CRYPT_KEY* commands); When the system is configured to publish its keys (see CONF_PUBLISH_MEDIA_KEYS), then the media sources must fill in
the secret by sending (PUT method) or replying to (GET method) the connect primitive.
For example, when sending a GET connect primitive to a device and the key transport is selected, then the device will fill in its key in the reply to the connect primitive.
NOTE: be sure to use a secure RCP connection, the keys in the connect primitive are tranferred in plain

CONF_RCP_CONNECT_SALVO
A replay connection can be established in two steps: 1) build up a "dry" (replay) connection by setting the flag in the CONNECT_PRIMITIVE request. A Rcp connection is established and a session id to control the connection is returned. Data is not sent out as long as no source is connected. 2) connect a source to the connection (only implemented for replay) using this RCP_CONNECT_SALVO_COMMAND with the provided session id. The connection will retrieve the data from the specified device If a source is already connected a second call of this command will replace the first connection. The num parameter can be used to refere to an entry from CONF_ADD_REMOTE_DEVICE (num 1 to 4). In that case only a shorter payload (line and relative coder) is required. All other parameters will be taken from the CONF_ADD_REMOTE_DEVICE command. For port and ssl port the first two ports of a CONF_ADD_REMOTE_DEVICE entry will be used in that order. If the num parameter is set to zero, all other parameters are required and used if the connection is a remote device. If num is zero and the short payload (line and rel coder) is also used, it is asumed, that the local device is addressed.

This command can be used to get a hint for changes between firmware versions or differences between device types concerning handling or way of configuration of the devices for several aspects. In order to parse the response payload, first check the first byte of a operation mode version info structure, which is the type and depending on the type read the remaining payload of the structure. Do this again for all following operation mode version info structures until the end of the response payload.

General Description
Command CONF_ADV_USER_SETTINGS allows to query or configure user entries for camera access control. User entries are indentified by the user name, the user name of each entry must be unique.
In read direction only the user name is used to find the user entry to query the user configuration.
In write direction an already existing user with the same name is modified or a new user with the given configuration is created.
Supported lengths, types and restrictions can be queried using CONF_ADV_USER_SETTINGS_OPTIONS.

The 'Expires' indicates the life time of the user in seconds. So if the user should life for 1 hour
pass the value 3600 here.
The field is mandatory when you create a user of type 'Temporary with password' (3). For all other types this field should not be present or have the payload 0.
On read, this field will indicate the remaining time in seconds until the user will expire.

Generic description
The command CONF_CERTIFICATE supports the following operations:
Upload a certificate optionally including its private key.
Download a certificate or signing request from the device.
Delete a certificate or signing request. A delete implicitly deletes an associated private key.
Each certificate/signing request/key is identified by a unique label. If a certificate has a matching private key both have the same label.
When the command fails it returns a command specific error code in the payload
On upload the command supports the following file formats:
PEM: PEM file format. With this format you can upload a certificate and a key at once. For this you must set Certificate
and Private Key bits in type tag.
DER: Binary DER file format. For this file format you can only upload one type of content and the type must be exactly
specified in type tag.
PKCS#12 or PFX: PKCS#12 (sometimes also called PFX) file format. This file format carried information what is included, so
you can upload certificate and key in one file. The type tag does not matter when using this file format and can be set to certificate and key or even
be not provided
You can also use this command to upload encrypted private keys as PEM, DER or PKCS12 file. To do this you upload the file
containing the encrypted key. The device stores the encrypted key internally and waits,
that the password is provided later with help of the CONF_CERTIFICATE_REQUEST command.
To delete a certificate/CSR or key you have to provide the following tags:
Tag 0 with the label, tag 1 with 0, tag 2 with length 4 and no data and tag 3 with entry type 0xFF (delete).
Example Payload for delete of cert with label 'test': 0008000074657374 0008000100000000 00040003000000FF

Command CONF_CERTIFICATE_LIST allows to query the labels of all certificates, signing requests and keys installed on a device.
The command CONF_CERTIFICATE can then be used to retrieve a certificate or signing request using the label.
The format has an internal tagged structure. Some tags are optional and might be absent if the data is not available.
The tags are always in the sequence as listed below.

If tag = 7 (Certificate's not after timestamp in GT) is present you should always use the date from there as UTC is limited to
1950-01-01 up to 2049-12-31. For compatibility reason both tags will be present when the date can be presented in both
formats.
tag = 7 (Certificate's not after timestamp in GT)
Contains the General time (GT) string (UTF-11, format YYYYMMDDhhmmssZ) of the not after timestamp of the certificate. This entry is optional and only used for certificates.
Thisa entry should always be used instead of tag 6 (Certificate's not after timestamp in UTC) because of it's wider time range.

Tag Certificate Extension
With this tag you can provide one X.509 certificate extension which should be added to a
self signed certificate or a certificate request (there the extension will be added as ExtensionRequest).
The extension must already be encoded in it's ASN.1 representation as defined for 'Extension' in RFC5280
chapter 4.1. This means a sequence containing an object identifier followed by a bitstring which contains
the extension specific payload.
The ASN.1 structure is directly added to the certificate/certificate request, so the caller is responsible for proper content of the
extension which will be provided by this tag.
If this tag is missing no extension will be added. It can occur a maximum of 5 times.

General Description
This command returns the list of certificate usages available in the camera. Each usage has a unique ID and a label which can be presneted to the end user. In the CONF_CERTIFICATE_USAGE command the usageID is referenced.
Flags in labelID
Some bits of the usage ID are reserved and contain additional information:
Values
Bit 31 (0x80000000)
0: Certificate is an end-user certificate. Certificates in these usages are presented to a peer for client authentication for example. These usages can only contain one certificate. The certificate must be associated with a private key stored on the device.
1: Certificate is a trusted certificate. Certificates in these usages are used to verify certificates presented from the external peer. These usage can contain multiple certificates. The certificate needs no private key on the device.
Bit 30 (0x40000000)
ATTENTION: This bit is reserved for future use. Planned for the following meaning:
This bit is only valid, if bit 31 is 0.
0: This end-user certificate usage (bit 31 is 0) can only be associated with 1 certificate.
1: This end-user certificate usage (bit 31 is 0) can be associated with multiple certificate (not used or supported at the moment).

This command is an extension of the already existing RCP+ commands
CONF_VIPROC_DLL_NAME,
CONF_VIPROC_ONOFF,
CONF_VIPROC_SCENE,
CONF_VIPROC_CONFIG_NAME,
CONF_VIPROC_CUSTOM_PARAMETERS,
CONF_VCD_OPERATOR_PARAMS,
CONF_VIPROC_ALARM_MASK,
CONF_VIPROC_ALARM_AGGREGATION_TIME, and
CONF_VIPROC_MOTION_DEBOUNCE_TIME.
Each of these commands can only access one specific item of the currently active
viproc configuration.
The new command allows an atomic access to an arbitrary subset of configuration items,
not only of the currently active one but of any configuration of a line.
The payload has a tag structure which is as follows:
4
6
8
8+Length1
Config ID 4 Bytes
Tag1 2 Bytes
Length1 2 Bytes
Payload1 Length1 Bytes
Tag2 2 Bytes
Length2 2 Bytes
Payload2 Length2 Bytes
...
0 4 Bytes
RCP Payload N Bytes
where Config ID is an integer between 1 and the maximum number of configurations
available for this line (this maximum number can be retrieved by the command
CONF_NUMBER_OF_VIPROC_CONFIGS).
Num Value
The num value of the RCP command selects the video line to which
the configuration belongs.
Return Value
For a read operation, payload of tags within the request are ignored.
The reply payload contains all tags in the same order as in the request,
however the size of the tags is adapted to fit the size of each item.
If the structure of the request is invalid or an unknown tag is included,
the command will fail.
For a write operation, the payload of tags must fit the size of the corresponding items.
If this is not the case, the command will fail.
If the CONF_VIPROC_CUSTOM_PARAMETERS and CONF_VCD_OPERATOR_PARAMS items are written
for the currently active configuration, they are checked by the currently active
viproc and ruleengine algorithms.
If they are not accepted, the corresponding algorithm is set to default mode and
the default parameters are put into the reply. To summarize, a write operation is
successful, if the RCP+ command succeeds and the reply payload is identical to the
request payload.

Description
This command configures the audio alarm analysis. The analysis is based on a 8kHz signal (if the device supports higher sampling rates the signal is downsampled).
The analysed frequency bands (there are 13 frequency bands) have the following center frequencies:
100 Hz, 220 Hz, 350 Hz, 500 Hz, 680 Hz, 880 Hz, 1.1 kHz, 1.4 kHz, 1.7 kHz, 2.0 kHz, 2.4 kHz, 2.9 kHz, 3.4 kHz
The freuqnecy bands are overlapping triangles.
Version
Unused (should be zero).
Trigger Level
16 Values between 0 and 255 (1 Byte each), setting the fixed threshold for every frequency band and energy level.
First Byte is for the lowest frequency and the last for the energy level. Trigger level 0 indicates that this frequency band is set off.
14 bytes (13 bands plus entire energie) are used in this version (refer to AUPROC_ALARM command).
Sensitivity
16 Values between 1 and 100 (1 Byte each), setting the sensitivity for every frequency band and energy level.
First Byte is for the lowest frequency and the last for the energy level.
14 bytes (13 bands pus entire energie) are used in this version.
The sensitivity is based on an adaptive threshold and a sliding window.
Flags
1 Byte for flags is reserved. The highest bit indicates audio alarm onoff.

The system can be set up in a way that unexpected configuration changes on the device cause a alert message,
even when the user uses a valid login and password for this action.
To achieve this:
After the hole system configuration is completed CONFIG_SEALING_ENABLED need to be set to 1 (= Seal enabled).
In this state each critical configuration change causes the device to send a CONFIG_SEALING_STATUS message.
If a client wants to active verify if a seal is valid then it should read CONFIG_SEALING_STATUS
Then it should check its content for:
1. Status = 1 (Sealing valid)
2. SealSetTimestamp if the time contained here lies before the date of the last known installation change.
3. SystemTimestamp if it is about the actual local time (to protect against time manipulation on the SealSetTimestamp)

Description
Read or write n blocks of 512 bytes to flash.
All single blocks can be simply overwritten. A explicit erase is not required.
Write is atomic on block basis which means that also in case of power-loss-while-write either the consistent
old version or the new version of a single block is read back next time after reboot
therefore doublebuffering is not required.

Generic description
The format has a tagged structure.
Each tagged entry consists of a length field, a tag ID and a payload.
Allows to read/write all relevant parameters of an encoder profile preset like resolution, skip, bandwidth, etc... within one single command.
In read direction all available tags are returned.
In write direction just the parameters/tags which should be changed need to be sent. So either one tag, several tags or all available tags can be provided.
Tags
Each tag ID in this command represents the according RCP command which already exists to read/write one of the encoder profile parameters individually.
I.e. this command combines several individual RCP commands within one command and provides the parameters as separate tags.
The payload of the tag entries corresponds to the related RCP command. For detailed information please check the documentation of the according RCP command.
E.g. one of the supported tags is 0x0608 (CONF_MPEG4_RESOLUTION).
Select region of interest. The Session-ID identifies the video coder.

Description
The encoder, to which the quality adjustment is to be applied is identified via the RCP session.
The area, in which the qualtiy is adjusted is characterized by the position of the edges of a rectangle within a virtual coordinate system with a nominal range of [0..+32768]x[0..32768] for the complete encoded picture (0=top/left edge, 32768=bottom/right edge). The actually adjusted area will be enlarged as needed by the encoder.

sets the video encoder (given by NumDesc) to a preset (payload). If recording is running and the iframe distance is 0, the iframe distance of the preset will be patched to a recording suitable value. For transcoder: if the request contains the replay session id and no num descriptor, the device will assign the preset to the transcoder of the replay session. If the preset is empty the transcoder will be disabled. For exclusive (dual) stream instances: if the request contains the session id and the num descriptor is 0, the previously configured preset with its session based (non-permanent) modifications will be applied to the encoder.

Global device configuration mode
There are two different modes signaled via INDIVIDUAL_ENCODER_OPERATION_MODE_CONFIG @CONF_DEVICE_CAPABILITIES
1: invidual encoder configuration mode: CONF_CODER_VIDEO_OPERATION_MODE, num parameter for a specific absolute coder has to be provided; global configration (numDesc = 0) is not supported
0: global encoder configuration mode : CONF_CODER_VIDEO_OPERATION_MODE, num parameter supports only 0 as global option for all possible encoders
line dependent or global capabilitys
1: if invidual encoder configuration mode is supported
use CONF_CODER_VIDEO_OPERATION_MODE_OPTIONS with NumDesc = absolute coder number to get the supported options at CONF_CODER_VIDEO_OPERATION_MODE
0: if global encoder configuration mode is supported
use CONF_CODER_VIDEO_OPERATION_MODE_OPTIONS with NumDesc = 0 to get the supported global options at CONF_CODER_VIDEO_OPERATION_MODE
CONF_CODER_VIDEO_OPERATION_MODE
Set one video coder (absolute coder number given by NumDesc) or all video coders, which can handle the option, depending on the supported configuration mode, to a video operation mode.
Allowed options can be queried by CONF_CODER_VIDEO_OPERATION_MODE_OPTIONS: 0 = jpeg, 1 = h263, 2 = h264, 3 = h265, 0x103 = h_265 without B-Frames.
Live connections will be dropped; Only applicable if recording isn't active and configured to off.

Generic description
The command allows to query the lens transfer function of the camera.
This command is not supported for all cameras. In the case of CONF_DEVICE_CAPABILITIES -> PTZ_ON_CLIENT_TAG = TRUE
A lens curve must be present.
Defines the horizontal and vertical position of the optical axis of the lens within the sensor plane (full viewed image)
(called image center below) in the normalized coordinate system defined in the previous description.
An offset of (16384; 16384) therefore means that the optical center of the circular projection is horizontally and vertically centered in the sensor image (should be the normal case).
length = 4+n 2 Byte
tag = 0 2 Byte

x,y (string: 5;5): specify the position of the optical center x;y

Example:
x;y = "16384;16384"
-> x = 16384, y = 16384 -> lens is centered

lens transfer function:
Specifices a tuple for a set of points (radius on the sensor,
the same coordinate system is used as before and a angle of
incidence relativ to the optical axis)
Optimal interpolation between the points can be achived with natural splines
lens transfer function (string: 5;3.6;5;3.6 ...):
lens transfer function = "7189;20.469667;13815;40.049053;17223;50.729707;20151;60.518720;21646;65.859047"
-> p[0] = (radius = 7189, angle of incidence = 20.469667°)
-> p[1] = (radius = 13815, angle of incidence = 40.049053°)
-> p[2] = (radius = 17223, angle of incidence = 50.729707°)
-> p[3] = (radius = 20151, angle of incidence = 60.518720°)
-> p[4] = (radius = 21646, angle of incidence = 65.859047°)
-> for a radius bigger than the last point the behavoiur of the lens is undefined (should be masked out in black on the client)

Payload Structure
The actual payload of this command consist of a sequence of variable length records, each specifying a region and a corresponding category to be used during encoding. The region is characterized by a mandatory rectangle and optionally a shape. Up to 8 regions and in total up to 96 32-bit data for shapes are supported.
Depending on the firmware version the shape data may be ignored. In this case the rectangle is used instead.
This may also happen, if the restrictions indicated below are violated by the shape data.
Normally the "background" category is used for unimportant parts of the scene and the "object" category for important ones. For this two categories, specific quality adjustments can be defined via the encoding profile of every encoder.
An area not belonging to any region is implicitly assigned to the "Default" category with no specific adjustments.
The forth category is currently assigned via the VIDEO_ENC_TEMP_QUANT_ADJ command separately for each encoder.
Note, that by using overlapping regions, more than one category can be assigned to some areas of the scene. In this case the category with the best quality adjustment for an encoder takes preceedence. Therefore it may be usefull to assign the "Default" category explicitly to some regions.

N
This field indicates the number of 32-bit items defining the optional shape of this region and therefore also specifies indirectly the total size of this record (12 + N * 4 octets). For compatibility with future version of this RCP PLUS specification, clients SHOULD set this item to 0 for any region which they define or modify, but keep it and the corresponding shape data unmodified for regions they don't change.
hPos/vPos of vertex 1, 2, ..., N
N 32-bit items used for shape data. Each item describes a vertex of a polygonal shape boundary in the order as included in the record (the closing edge between vertex N and vertex 1 is added automatically).
The vertices should all be different and the edges between them should have no point in common beside the vertex between them.
(If the resulting area inside the polygon is not single connected the behaviour is undefined)
Coordinate System
The rectangles and the future shapes are specified via a virtual coordinate system with a nominal range of 0..32768 x 0..32768 for the usable sensor area (or incoming video).
All rectangles and shapes should be completely inside this area, otherwise, the exact behaviour is undefined.
The command returns which video input lines are virtual and which is the assiciated physical line. A physical line has it's own video signal - that's the usual case. A virtual line is derived from a physical line and supports only a subset of the RCP commands compared to a physical line. Some commands only make sense on physical line (e.g. brightness, contrast, ...). Those fail on virtual lines and must be applied on the associated physcial line instead. The required information can be read out using this command.
Virtual lines are introduced to provide a second view on an existing physical line. This is useful e.g. to have a dewarped image on a 180 or 360 degree camera. Furthermore each virtual line has its own video analysis meta data stream (a.k.a. "VCD stream") which is also derived from the image on the physical line but already preprocessed (cropped, dewarped, ...) to fit the view on the virtual line.

access to the OSD via RCP command
Up to version 4.50, this command only applies to decoders to display text onto the video output.
The num field carries the video output number. A value of 0 indicates that the text should be displayed on all screens.
Remind that the num value numbering scheme takes quad mode into account for the lines where quad is possible,
even if quad mode is not active. (E.g. to have an OSD stamped into the fourth line of a VIP X1600 XFMD,
you need to use num value of 10). To delete previously submitted strings, send an empty string (not space characters!).
From version 4.50 on this command applies to encoders as well. In that case, the encoder will embed the text
information into the RTP data stream to be overlayed by the receiving decoder.
The attribute and flag fields are not applicable to the decoder's video output. The num field applies to the video input number.

The command returns which audio input lines are virtual and which is the associated physical line. A physical line is phyical audio input - that's the usual case. A virtual line is just a copy of a physical line and supports only a subset of the RCP commands compared to a physical line. Some commands only make sense on physical line (e.g. input volume). Those commands fail on virtual lines and must be applied on the associated physcial line instead. The required information can be read out using this command.
Virtual lines are introduced to provide a copy to an existing physical line. A single physical audio input can be associated to multiple video input lines. This keeps our known behaviour to have an audio line with the same number as the video line.

Entry
No. of virtual Line 2 Byte
No. of physical Line 2 Byte
No. of virtual Line
The number of the line which is a virtual line. Counting starts as usual from 1. Every audio input line is either a physical line (default) or a virtual line. All lines listed here are virtual lines.
No. of physcial Line
The number of the physcial line which is associated to the named virtual line in the previous field. This line must be addressed for RCP commands that fail on the virtual line.

VIRTUAL_ALARM_PARAMETER
This command is used to trigger a virtual alarm along with parameters for alarm recording. The alarm can be activated, deactivated or triggered as single shot, which is an activate and deactivate within on command. Its also possible to trigger a silent alarm, by setting the activate and deactivate flag to zero. This works like a single shot alarm, the user data will be recorded and backups between the recordings will be scheduled, but the virtual alarm won't be triggered. If silent alarm is used, the num parameter doesn't choose the virtual alarm number, but it is mapped directly to the recording line. The command can have user data which can be recorded as meta data along to the video data. Also the pre and post alarm time can be specified but is only valid, if the alarm recording is done via backuped recording setup and the Flag ALARM_IGNORE_ALARM_TIME_PARAMETER isn't set. This will cause an alarm backup from the recording (primary or secondary, depending on the virtual alarm configuration and encoder index configuration) with this parameter, but the pre alarm time is limited by the max pre alarm time which is the same as the configured prealarm time of the secondary recording on the internal storage. It is also limited by the storage space of the internal storage. The max pre alarm time is also the delay for the recording. That means the recording of the alarm file triggered by an alarm will be started after this delay expires. Until that time the records of that file are only available on the internal storage. When a new alarm is triggered by activate, the reply returns an alarm content handle (only on activation, not on single shot). The limit for open content handle at the same time per line (includes also deactivated alarms or alarm shots within the post alarm time) is 32. This handle can be used to deactivate the alarm later by sending this command with the handle in the payload or it can be used to retrigger the alarm with new user data. For retrigger the playload looks the same as for activate, except a valid handle is required. Only for deactivation or retrigger of the alarm, the handle is required for in payload. A valid handle is a non zero handle, if the handle is set to zero, it will be interpreted as wild card on deactivate, which will deactivate/close all active handles or as invalid. In case of activate, a new handle will be opened and returned in the reply, if the handle is invalid/zero. If a handle(or all handles) will be deactivated/closed, it will decay with the post alarm time. An alarm can also used on first activation to add the "protected" attribute to the file, which includes the record data of the alarm. The limit for pending intervals for protection are limited to 32 per line. Pending is an interval in the time from the occurence of the protecting alarm and the backup of the alarm record data.

Generic description
This command returns the identities used for EAP authentication.
If a EAP client certificate is assigned, the command returns up to 3 identity strings. All strings are UTF-16 coded.
The order of the list is the order the EAP client uses the identies. If one identity fails to authenticate the next one from the list
is used.
1. The alternative subject name from the certificate (tag 0x0001)
2. The common name from the certificate subject (tag 0x0002)
3. The EAP identity from config (tag 0x0003)
Each of these entries is optional and can be missing. The complete identity list is surrounded by the
tag 0x0000.
If no identity is configured or found, the tag 0x0004 is returned to indicate the empty list.

Generic description
Reading the CONF_NETWORK_SERVICES command returns a list of TCP/UDP services which are available on the device.
Each entry represents one service. The entry show if the service is enabled at the moment and what TCP/UDP port
it is assigned to if a port is available. If the port cannot be adjusted the 0x0004 tag is simply missing.
Client software can show this list to give the user the opportunity to check and configure all runiing network services.
Writing this command allows to configure the services returned by a preceding read. In write direction the command payload
has the same structure. The client does not need to include all services returned by the read. It can only add
the services to change to the write payload. The tag 0x0002 (label) must not be included in write payload. The service
ID must provided and identitfies the service to change. The ID is not fixed across firmware versions and must be
retrieved by a preceeding read.
Writing this command is only a request to the device to shutdown or start the services. That's why the device cannot
answer with with the new state of the services. The device replies to a write operation with the actual state of the network
services (the complete list). This does eventually not reflect the changes which will be done by the requests in this write operation. ATTENTION: Most network services need a reboot of the device to be stopped or started. After writing this command
the device should be rebootet!
Tag definition
tag 0x8000 (List entry)
Surrounding tag for each entry in the list. With help of the length field client software is the change to skip
complete entries.
tag 0x0001 (Numerical ID)
This tag gives each service a numerical ID. The ID should be retrieved via reading this command first.
You can assume, that the ID for a special service keeps constant in newer firmware versions. So this ID can be
treated as a unique identifier for a specific service. When using this command in write direction
to configure a service this ID must be presented to identify the service.
tag 0x0002 (Label)
A printable label for this service. If the client does not know how to translate this label it can show this label as default.
The label is not used to identify the service and can be omitted when writing this command.
tag 0x0003 (Enable)
A value != 0 indicates that this service is enbaled and the port is open at UDP/TCP level.
A value == 0 indeicates that the service is disabled.
In write direction you can use this bit to disable a service.
tag 0x0004 (UDP/TCP port)
This tag is only present if the UDP/TCP port is adjustable for this service. Else this tag is simply missing.
For historical reasons most services set their port to 0 to show that they are disabled.
If you set the 'Enable' tag to 0 at write and set the port != 0 the command will automaticly set the port to 0.
Setting 'Enabled' tag to != 0 and the port to 0 will use default port. Else the given port will be used.

CONF_PREPARE_FOR_RECORDING
This command is used to prepare a remote device for recording via a another device (e.g remote recording on a transcoder). Normally the remote device will be configured to record on one or more (upto 8) local managed storage, which is already configured by the command CONF_STORAGE_LIST. The Storage can be a local storage on the remote device or any storage on the local device. This is choosen by the flag "remote managed storage". If this flag is set, the storage/lun idx refers the lun index of a local storage on the remote device. Otherwise it is the index from the storage list of the local device. The preparation will be the configuration of the micro vrm on the recording device and in case of remote recording constellation, it will allow the remote recording on the storage managing device.

ADD_REMOTE_DEVICE
Adds a device with forwarder ports, all data to/from the forwarder ports will be forwarded to/from the configured device port. It is allowed to store complete zeroed forwarder/remote port entries. For entries which are referenced by CONF_RCP_CONNECT_SALVO command num param, it it nessessary, that the first forward port entry contains the http port and the second one the https port. If one of these ports shall not be used, at least a zeroed entry (remote/forwarder port to zero) has to be placed. The max lines and coder per lines are just information, which will be stored together in the config. To delete an entry, send an empty or zeroed payload.

STREAMING_GATEWAY_CONFIG
This command is used to read and write the configuration of the streaming gateway. For the read direction only "gateway line" and "gateway stream" parameter are relevant for the send diretion. The reply payload will contain the full parameter set. For write direction use the full parameter set to configure a streaming gate camera, if the action is "add camera". Depending on the camera type and connection type, additional optional parameters are nessessary. E.g. the device simulator is able to connect to another bosch camera or device specified by the url ([ip]:[port]/[line (1,2,...)]/[coder idx (1,2,...)]). E.g. with url "10.1.10.20:80/1/1" it connects to the device on ip 10.1.10.20 and port 80 on the first line and the first video encoder.

This string identifies the iscsi lun on which the lock is to be overwritten. This option clears its value after a successful override.
Note
The datatype of this command was FLAG and changed to STRING with fw 2.50. The target_id needs o be resolved by rules configured by CONF_TARGET_ID_RESOLVE_RULES. In older version the target id was the ipv4 address, which is now the default rule for target id resolving. The string format of the target id is the same as of the ipv4.

Tags
The command contains the following tags:
Tag 0x8000: Group tag
One group is marked by the 0x8000 starting tag. Each group gives information about one active iSCSI
connection. It normally contains one 0x0001, one 0x0005, one 0x0002 and one 0x0003 tag to describe the multipath state of
the connection.
The length field contains the length of all included subtags plus the group header itself.
The group tag is present to simplefy parsing and to join subtags to a unique connection description.
Tag 0x0001: Target IP
Original or main IP address of the iSCSI target. Through this IP the session was initialy created. If the length field is 8 the payload is a IPv4 address (network byte order). If the length field is 20 the payload contains IPv6.
Tag 0x0002: Connected IP
The IP address the connection uses at the moment. This may be the IP of an alternative path. If the length field is 8 the payload is a IPv4 address (network byte order). If the length field is 20 the payload contains IPv6.
Tag 0x0003: Connection status
The payload is 4 byte containing a 32 bit value (DWORD) in network byte order. The value must be interpreted as a bit field with the following meaning:
Bit 0 (0x00000001)
The connection is offline and not in a working state.
Bit 1 (0x00000002)
The connection is connected via the main IP (main path or prefered path) and working optimized.
Bit 2 (0x00000004)
The connection is connected via an alternative path. So The connection runs optimzied but not through the main path.
Bit 3 (0x00000008)
The connection runs through an alternative path which is not declared as being optimized or not optimized. Connection will go back to the main path when possible.
Bit 4 (0x00000010)
Connection runs on a non optimized path (lower performance) and will try to go back to an main path as soon as possible.
Bit 5 (0x00000020)
The session is about to be closed gracefully. There are no more users on this session and it will be closed.
Bit 6 (0x00000040)
The connection is connected via the main IP, but the regularly check of the availability of the alternative paths failed. So at lesast one alternative path might not be reachable.
Tag 0x0004: No active connection
If this tag is present as first tag, no other tags will be present in the message. It tells the receiver, that no active connection exists at the moment. So the iSCSI stack is idle.
Tag 0x0005: Target Index
The target index of the target which is addressed over the Target IP if multiple targets are available through this IP.
Tag 0x0006: Multipath support
If 0 the target has no multipath support and only one of the states Bit 0 (offline) and Bit 1 (connected optimized) is reported,
as the target can only be on- or offline. It has no alternative pathes.
If this value is 1 the target supports multipathing and there are alternaitve pathes available. All states from above can be reported for the target.

Payload Structure
This command can be used to read and write individual entries of the discovery cache.
The command supports reading and writing cache entries.
Read direction: Payload Structure
On input you can provide an IP address and/or a LUN number structured in the following tagged payload.
IP addresses (tag 0x0001) can have the length 0x0008 (IPv4) or 0x0014 (IPv6).
The Target Index tag (0x000b) must have the length 0x0008 and must contain a target index in network byte order
The LUN tag (0x0002) must have the length 0x0008 and must contain a 32bit LUN number in network order.
The payload can contain all three tags. With it's combination you can control the output of the command.
If provide no parameters (tags) the command returns all known IP of all target indexes and LUNs in the discovery cache.
Be aware, that the output could get too long for the output buffer and there might be missing entries
If you only provide an IP address, the command will return all targets and all known LUNs and the paths for one IP in the discovery cache.
If you provide both IP address and a target index, the command will return all known LUNs and the paths for one target in the discovery cache.
If you only provide a LUN number, the paths for this LUN in all discovery cache entries will be returned. There is a reserved LUN number
0xFFFFFFFF which will always return only the first LUN of an entry in the discovery cache. If you provide this reserved LUN number
without an IP address, you will get all entries in the discovery cache with only the paths for the first LUN. This is a good way
to get the IP and target index of all known targets in the discovery cache without overflowing the output buffer.
If you provide an IP address, a target index and a LUN number the command will return only the paths for this target and the
given LUN.
The answer is structured as described in Cache Entry encoding.
If there is no cache entry available which matches the given filter, the command returns the 'Tag 0x0003: No entry available'
tag. In case of this command the tag always return 0x00000000 as error code (no error).

Write direction: Payload Structure
In write direction the command expects the Cache Entry encoding described below. This encoded cache entry is written
to the discovery cache. Cache entries which are written with this command are stored in persistent cache and
are persistent over a device reset.
In write direction this command must carry a valid external instance bitmask which has to be unequal 0. If it is 0 the command is returned with an error.
To delete such an entry you must provide the Cache Entry encoding with only the target IP, target index and external instance
tag. The entry is cleared, when all external instance bits are cleared.
Cache Entry encoding (answer payload for read, input payload for write)
Every cache entry is started with a surrounding start tag (0x8009) followed by the IP for which this entry was generated (tag 0x000a).
After this IP entry the target index is indicated to resolve a unique target on this IP (tag 0x000b).
A surrounding tag (0x8008) marks one LUN entry which has several path entries, each surrounded by a 0x8004 tag.
If there is no entry the 'Tag 0x0003: No entry available' tag is returned.

Tags
The command contains the following tags:
Tag 0x8009: Cache entry tag
Each cache entry start with this tag and is followed by an target IP tag. If there is no multipathing information,
there will be no following 'LUN entry tags'.
Tag 0x000a: Target IP
Original or main IP address of the iSCSI target. Through this IP the session was initially created. If the length field is 8 the payload is a IPv4 address (network byte order). If the length field is 20 the payload contains IPv6.
Tag 0x000b: Target Index
Target index on the main IP. This is the index of the target if there are multiple targets available on one IP.
Tag 0x000c: IQN string
IQN string of the target. This is the unique name identifier the target returns at discovery and which is needed
at login state to address the target. In multipathing this IQN is used for all connection IP addresses.
Tag 0x000d: External instance
The external instance is a 32 bit wide bitfield. It is used to identify who has set this cache entry.
In VRM environment the first VRM may set bit 0. The secondary VRM will use bit 1. With this bitfield
it is tracked, who wrote this cache entry. If one instance deletes the cache entry, only the bit used by this
instance is cleared. If any other bits are still set, the entry is not deleted. When this bitfield
becomes zero at a delete request, the entry is really deleted.
ATTENTION: This field must always have a value other then 0. Writing a cache entry from outside world with
external instance equal 0 will cause a write error.
Tag 0x8008: LUN entry
Surrounding tag for one LUN entry. This tag will have several 'Path entry' tags as subtags.
Tag 0x8004: Path entry
Tag which marks one path entry. The first path entry will always be the path on the main path. This entry will have the following subtags:
Tag 0x0005: Path IP
IP address of this path. If the length field is 8 the payload is a IPv4 address (network byte order). If the length field is 20 the payload contains IPv6.
Tag 0x0006: LUN number
The number of the LUN the LUN will have on this path. The first entry in the paths list marks the LUN number on the main path.
Tag 0x0007: Flags
Conditions for this path
Bit 0 (0x00000001)
Target supports TPGS (Target Portal Group Support) on this path. Necessary for proper multipathing support.
Bit 1 (0x00000002)
This path is a prefered path
Bit 2 (0x00000004)
This path is an active path (but maybe not preferred if bit 1 is cleared).
Bit 3 (0x00000008)
This path is not optimal and should only be used as backup path in case of all preferred pathes fail.
Tag 0x0003: No entry available
If this tag is present as first tag, no other tags will be present in the message. It tells the receiver, that there are no matching
discovery cache entries.
The tag is followed by an error code (4 byte in network order). If the error code is 0x00000000 (ISCSI_ERR_NONE)
there was simply no existing cache entry available. For CONF_ISCSI_DISV_CACH command the error code is always 0x00000000.
For CONF_ISCSI_MP_DISCOVERY any of the defined iSCSI error codes can occur.

Payload
Payload of the tag 0x0001 (4 bytes in case of IPv4, 16 bytes in case of IPv6) indicates the main path to the target
to scan.
Payload of the tag 0x0002 is the target index (4 byte number) on network byte order
Payload of each tag 0x0003 (4 bytes in case of IPv4, 16 bytes in case of IPv6) gives the IP of an alternative path
to scan. If not given all found pathes are scanned.
General Description
This command initiates a multipath discovery of a target. This means iSCSI stack tries to detect all
known alternative pathes for all LUNs for the given main path.
The user can select alternative pathes to be scanned with the 0x0003 tag. If no 0x0003 tag is given all pathes
found at discovery are scanned.
ATTENTION: The command can take up to the amount of scanned pathes multiplied with 10 seconds to complete!
This scan does not create any persistent discovery cache entries. All cached data is cleared after the scan.
Response
Response payload
The payload of the response is an encoded discovery cache entry which show the scan result.
The format is the same is described in the CONF_ISCSI_GET_DISV_CACHE command.
iSCSI specific errors
The following specific erros might be returned on RCP level. If such an error occurs the command was not executed. ISCSI_ERR_INV_PARAMS (0x3c) - Error parsing the command (error in tag structure) ISCSI_ERR_TARGET_SESSION_LIMIT (0x41) - Too many scan active (only one to the same IP is allowed). Retry later. ISCSI_ERR_NO_MEM (0x3a) - No free job to do the scan. Retry later.
The command can also return the 'No cache entry' tag (0x0003) followed by an error code. With this the command returns errors which occur
while discovering the target. All known iSCSI error codes can occur there (see CONF_DISV_CACHE for a list of error codes).

returns a list of files of a replay session (session id needed). This command works for local replay only. See detailed description
Write

access_right_user
not supported
This command initiates a search to get the times where data is available within a recording.
The Session ID paramter must be set (a connect primitive must have been preceded).
Recording mode can be time recording (1) or alarm recording (2 and 3), only for command CONF_SPAN_PARTITION_FILE_INFO there are seperagte files for pre (2) and post (3) alarm recording.
Search is performed from a start point on the timeline towards an end point. If the end point is prior to the start point
search is performed backwards.
To get all available results of an recording a search from 0 to 0xFFFFFFFF needs to be done.
The number of results is limited to 256 per response. The result are always in ascending order independent if the search is performed
forward or backward. The File ID always increases on span recording regions if new files will be created.
To get all results the command has to be called multiple times.
In that case the start or stop times needs to be updated with every call:
If a forward search is executed the start time of the next request must be the stop time of the last retrieved result.
If a bachward search is executed the start time of the next request must be the start time of the first retrieved result.
A search is completed if the number of returned results is smaller than 256 or if the endpoint of the search is greater or equal than than the endpoint of the last result.
In case of forward search a virtual start point (equal to the start point of the search) will be inserted if the search start point is range with recording.
Some examples:
Forward search (data is available from time A to time B):
A search is executed from time 0 to time B. In that case the reponse is: secStart=A, secStop=B
A search is executed from time 0 to time 0xFFFFFFFF. In that case the reponse is: secStart=A, secStop=B
A search is executed from time C (C > A and C < B) to time B. In that case the reponse is: secStart=C, secStop=B
A search is executed from time A to time C (C > A and C < B). In that case the reponse is: secStart=A, secStop=C
Backward search (data is available from time A to time B):
A search is executed from time 0xFFFFFFFF to time A. In that case the reponse is: secStart=A, secStop=B
A search is executed from time 0xFFFFFFFF to time 0. In that case the reponse is: secStart=A, secStop=B
A search is executed from time C (C < B and C > A) to time A. In that case the reponse is: secStart=A, secStop=C
A search is executed from time B to time C (C < B and C > A). In that case the reponse is: secStart=C, secStop=B

The max retention time will be stored as absolute local time in seconds since 2000 in each span unit header. It will be used to clear a recording span when this time expires. If a max retention time is configured unequal 0 and less than maximum, the recording time on a span is limited to a one day time span.

CONF_HD_MGR_REC_STATUS
This command shows the state for a recording. It can be read and it will be send at state changes. State changes are the change of rec state or rec preset only. Within the Msg there is no distiction between the state OFF and NO RECORDING. That means no msg will be send on the state change between this two states. The msg will never contain the state OFF but the read response maybe. OFF state means the recording is configured to off by set it to stop. NO RECORDING can be caused by many things e.g. no recording on the schedule, no storage present and so on. STAND BY means there is recording on the schedule but not at the moment. The recording scheduler waits for the time to start the recording. All the other states indicating a running recording. In case of alarm recording in prealarm state, the message state will be PRE ALARM RECORDING even if the pre alarm recording takes place in the ram only, if at least the storage is connected. If there is no storahge connected and recording is configured for running, the state will alway be NO RECORDING.

CONF_HD_REC_BUFFER
This command gets information about the recording buffer size, it includes the full amount of buffer for all recordings, the allocated, and the minimum amount of buffer of the recording specified by the in payload. The "full buffer bytes" is usually preallocated memory at startup and won't change it's size as long as the device is running and is the same for all recordings (except streaming gateway). The "min buffer bytes" is the amount of buffer the device will at least allocate if running. The "allocated buffer bytes" is the amount of buffer the recording has actually allocated. This value can be higher than "min buffer bytes", if nt all possible recrdings are running. The unused buffer of non running recordings will be used by the running ones. If the recording is deaktivated, the value will be 0. When running, the value wil be usually at least "min buffer bytes", but it can be temporary less than that value, if e.g. the recording was started shortly before and another already running recording has allocated the whole buffer. In that case it could take some time free the buffer by the running recording, so the allocated buffer will increase over the time. The "filled buffer bytes" is the amount of buffer memory of the the "allocated buffer bytes", which contains data for recording or in case of alarm recording, the amout to be recorded, if an alarm would occur in this moment. The "filled_buffer bytes" can therefor be used to calculate the fill level of the recording buffer. The information also includes the incomming data rate, which is the data rate of data from the video, audio, ... encoders to the record buffer. Also th time range of available data in buffer are presented along with the progress of the recording, all in seconds since 2000 utc. This is usefull to observe backlog of recording. Internally there are replay sessions running directly on the record buffer, therefor information about the buffer replay are also present, including the utc timestamp of the last replay data from buffer and byte counter and replay data rate.

CONF_ALARM_BACKUP_REC_SPEED_LIMIT
This command can be used to limit the data traffic caused by backuped recording per line (num parameter 1 to n). This can be done by limiting the data rate and/or the speed in percent(100 percent means backup speed like replay in normal speed), based on the time information of the video data. The backup can be stopped completly, by sending a speed limit by 0 and continued again by sending a non zero speed later. It cannot be stopped by the data rate, a value of 0 for the data rate means to disable the limit for the data rate. The data rate parameter isn't applied immediately, but when the next backup starts.

This command returns the backup recording status on a line, specified by the num parameter (1 ... n). First it looks for a valid configuration of backup recording. Valid means, there exists a running recording configured to record the life data and a second recording for backup, which copies the data from the life data recording storage to it's recording storage on alarm or continuously. If both "rec idx life" and "rec idx backup" are none zero, there is a valid configuration. Then the following fields inform about the status and progress of the backuped recording. The utilization of the life data recording storage can be calculated in percent with the equation: utilization = ("unbackuped MB" * 100)/("unbackuped MB" + "backuped MB" + "free MB"). The status will be send as message, if the utilization will cross some thresholds. There are two thresholds, the "All Clear" threshold and the "Warning" threshold. These thresholds can be configured with the command CONF_BACKUP_RECORDING_STATUS_MSG_THRESHOLD (see rcp documentation). Another reason for sending this message will be on deleting or overwriting of records, which had to be backuped but weren't backuped before deletion, or were deleted while still within the maximum retention time range. Every time this event happens, the lost counter will be incremented. This counter will count since device boot.

CONF_BUFFERED_RECORDING_MODE
This command can be used to configure the buffered recording configuration mode. The default is the manual mode, which is used for standard (single/dual) recording or manually configured buffered recording, which means the primary and secondary recording will be setup to do buffered recording. In case of buffered recording configuration mode, the device recording configuration will be changed internally to an buffered recording setup. The recording will then be configured like a single primary recording via recording profiles but internally the configuration is mapped to a coresponding buffered recording setup. When set to this mode, the secondary recording isn't accessable anymore via recording profile configuration (affected comands: CONF_HD_RECORD_PROFILE, CONF_HD_RECORD_PROFILE_V2, CONF_HD_RECORD_PROFILE_SECONDARY, CONF_HD_PROFILE_V2_SECONDARY) and start/stop configuration(affected commands: CONF_START_RECORD, CONF_START_SPAN_RECORD, CONF_HD_MGR_START, CONF_HD_MGR_START_SECONDARY, CONF_HD_MGR_STOP, CONF_HD_MGR_STOP_SECONDARY). When the mode is changed, the actual recording is stopped.

Script length
Length of the script. If the length of the script is zero a default search is performed, i.e. "Detect any object or Detect any Flow or Detect any Motion".

VCA Profile ID
VCA profile id search is supported. The recommended profile id is zero resulting in an exhausting search over the given interval.
With a non zero profile id the seacrh speed can be increased because meta data recorded with different a profile are skipped.
Layer Mode
The recommended layer mode value is 0. In this case the layer mask is ignored and the default layers are used.
If 1 then the user defined layer mask, see below, is used. The main purpose for the layer mode is for debugging.

Layer Mask
The layer mask is only used if layer mode is set to 1.
Configuration data
The script mode defines how this data has to be interpreted.
Rule engine configuration
In this mode the configuration data contains the whole rule engine configuration (eg including camera calibration).
For more detailed information see the rcp command: CONF_VCD_OPERATOR_PARAMS.
Rule engine script only
If the script mode is selected to "rule engine script only" the configuration data contains the rule engine script. The script is encoded in plain text.
One of these examples can be used as a valid script.

CONF_HD_REPLAY_CERTIFICATES_LIST
This command can be used to query the certificates from the records of a camera via replay session (session ID required), in order to verify the signed video record data within that records. The response will deliver all certificates of the records and time intervall addressed by the specidfied replay session. The maximum size of the response can be limited by the caller but it will not exceed 16 kb for the certificates list. If the response payload size isnt't enough to hold all valid certificates, a flag in the response will signal the existence of further certificates, which didn't fit in the response payload. A second query in that case with a smaller time interval may help to get the remaining certificates. The response will have a certificates list with several enries of different size, there are no gaps between the entries.

CONF_FORMAT_FS_SPANS_STATUS
this message reports the status and progress of a running format. The formatting includes the creation of the FAT32 file system (step: HD_STEP_FORMAT_FS) and clearing of the span header files(step: HD_STEP_CLEAR_SPAN_HEADER). The progress is reported about the whole formatting. A successful format should always end with a message with 100 percent progress at step HD_STEP_CLEAR_SPAN_HEADER and status should be HD_FORMAT_STATUS_FINISHED. A failed format should finish with a status HD_FORMAT_STATUS_FAILED at any progress and any step. After these final messages no futher messages will follow. The whole formatting takes two steps HD_STEP_FORMAT_FS and HD_STEP_CLEAR_SPAN_HEADER. First step HD_STEP_FORMAT_FS will run up to 90 percent and will end with a 90 percent progress message and status HD_FORMAT_STATUS_FINISHED if successful. Then the last step HD_STEP_CLEAR_SPAN_HEADER will follow from 90 to 100 percent and will also end with a HD_FORMAT_STATUS_FINISHED status if successfull, which is also as mentioned earlier the final success message. If the formatting runs with the option of disk erasing, The first step will be the HD_STEP_ERASE_DISK step and will run upto 70 percent if successful.

Lun IDX
Index of the lun of the specified target.
Span IDX
Index of the span in the specified lun.
Write request
On a write request, a list of max n (n=512) span addresses must be supplied. List entrys that are zero are not used by the unit for recording. The unit uses the supplied ordering of the list and
begins with the first entry. The order of the supplied list is the preferred order, not the guaranted order. There are some cases, in which the device changes the use order (e.g. one target not reachable).
If the device is already recording on spans (a span list is already present on the device), the new list must contain the span addresses, that the unit is currently recording on. The latter information can be obtained by reading the current span address list form the unit and check the corresponding write lock header (if the units IP and MAC address is found this means the unit is recording). If the unit receives a list and the span addresses of the spans the device is currently recording on is not present, the list is rejected (not saved in the configuration) and an error is returned
Read Request
The reply to an read request always contains up to n (n=512) entrys. The response in case of an empty span list is one zeroed span entry.
Message
A message of this cmd tag will be send always, if somone sets the span address lists by using rcp set spans list commands or if the span list is cleared by indirectly by changing other settings of the device (e.g. rec mgmt).

The modification seal values cannot be set by this command as write request directly, they will be set automatically on span header write requests or on starting or stopping a recording. The content of this fields will be ignored in a write request.

If the status is PENDING_SPAN_REQUEST, the ip will be 255.255.255.255, target index and lun will be 255, and span index will be 65535, which should be interpreted as still unknown, because this cam had requested a span, but it doesn't know yet which span it gets.
Status HD_SPAN_USE_STATUS_RELEASE_REMOUNT_INTENDED means, the cam has released the block but has left the span lock, because it will try to remount the span later. The span is stored in the span history for remount(see CONF_SPAN_HISTORY).

CONF_SPAN_USE_STATUS
This messages reports the use status of a span for this device and which cammera for primary recording. If a span was opened for a planned recording, this message will be send with status MOUNTED. If the mounting fails status will be ERROR. If a span was closed after recording status will be RELEASE, if it was closed before a recording ever took place, status will be RELEASE_UNUSED. HD_SPAN_USE_STATUS_RETENTION_TIME status will be send as message if the first time an retention time update took place on the span. In case of a read request the reply payload cantains this status message upto twice. the command can be used to query the actual used spans from a camera specified by the num parameter. the status for a span can be RECORDING, if the cam is actual recording on this span or MOUNTED, if the span is mounted and prepared for a future recording by this camera.

If no free spans are available on all span manager of the devices recording span manager list, the recording with the retention time that expires next is overwritten.
Use this command to edit the recording span manager list. This list is consulted every time when a device is recording in VRM mode and its span list runs out resources. The entry with the highest priority is picked out of this list, the corresponding span manager is contacted and queried for spans. If the span manager ís not accessable or will not return a span for some reason (maybe it has no more free spans to export), the entry with the next lower priority is picked out of the list. If at least one span manager for primary recording is configured, all entries of managed vrm (configured by CONF_MANAGING_VRM) will be deleted.

CONF_SPAN_SWITCH
This command can be used to influence the span usage of the recording. It is able to cause a replace of the premounted span and or switch to the next premounted span.
The flag SWITCH_SPAN causes the switch to the next span and releasing the actual recording span. Flag REPLACE_PREMOUNTED will cause the release of the premounted span and mounting another one if available. If both flags are activated, the premounted block will be replaced, as soon as a new premounted span is mounted and available, the next step switch to premounted span will be performed. Before replacing the premounted span, the actual recording span will be checked, if the replace could get in conflict with a device internal triggered span switch. In that case the whole Span switch command will fail with rcp error RCP_ERROR_TRY_LATER, no switch or replace will be performed.
When performing a switch to next span job, the recording span address in the payload will be checked. If on execution of this job the recording span doesn't match the recording span from the payload, the switch will not be performed. When performing a replace premounted span job, the premounted span address in the payload will be checked. If on execution of this job the premounted span doesn't match the premounted span from the payload, the replace will not be performed. The idea of these checks is to avoid conflicts with the automatic span switching of the recording, that can lead to gaps in the recording and unwanted waste of recording spans. The flag FORCE will skip these checks. Flag CHECK_PREMOUNTED is only relevant for the switch to next span job without replacing the premounted span and without FORCE flag. If this flag is active on switching ton next span, the premounted span parameter in the payload will be matched against the actual premounted span. If no match the switch won't be performed. If this flag including the FORCE flag isn't set on switch, a negative match will be performed on the premounted span. The TARGET_RETREAT Bit means, than a complete retreate from this target is intended, the span history will be modified in order to avoid a remount on that target. That state will stay active for that target until the device records on a new target and adds a span from the new target to the history, or if the span history will be cleared or the the target will be reintroduced with the bit TARGET_REINTRODUCE. The TARGET_REINTRODUCE Bit is needed to undo a TARGET_RETREAT action, which is specialy in the case needed, when a device shall return to a target, from that it had retreated erlier and no recording took place on another target between these events. In that case the remount feature for that target is still disabled. The TARGET_REINTRODUCE Bit will reenable the remount feature for that target without the nessessarity of clearing the whole span history.
Warning: A possible conflict, when requesting a replace of the premounted span with an automatic span switch of the recording that causes gaps in the recording is unavoidable. So an excesive usage of replacing premounted spans should be avoided.

CONF_SPAN_FILES
This command allows to set the path to a mounted span formatted storage or directory. You have to send the in payload to set the path. The min payload size is 16 bytes. The max path name length is 1024 bytes including the zero termination. payload size must be set to the size that includes the zero termination but min size is 16 bytes even in case of an empty string (at least zero termination). You can set up to 32768 pathes. Use the num param to specify the index of an entry. If you set the path it will check the path. To pass this check, at least a valid Lun info file (INFO.TXT) has to exist. The span are needed later when accessing the storage(e.g header access, replay). The response to the write direction is has the out payload format. If success the error field is zero and the payload includes the set path and the exported lun address. This storage is now accessable by using this address for other commands. if the set failes, the error field is non zero and contains an error code. It is allowed to set path on an index that was already set. The old values will be overwritten, but remember that the effect takes place later, if there are still open references based on the old entry (e.g. running replay, header access).
The cmd can be used for read direction. The response payload contains the export lun address and the path. error code is always zero. If the entry is empty, the path is empty and has only the zero termination.

CONF_ACCESS_LUN_MGMT_FILE
This command can be used to acces the lun managment file. This exists only on span formatted luns, which were formatted by firmware /generic dll versions, that are able to create this file. Older versions cannot do this. The file name is "lunmgmt.bin". the max size which can be stored is 504 bytes. The in payload for reading or writing this command has to be at least a size of 12 bytes and includes the lun address for read/write from/to lun mgmt file. The response on the read direction includes the user data from the lun mgmt file. The data length will be the remayning bytes from the respons payload size minus the lun address and the reserved bytes (12 bytes together). Same in write direction. The payload size determines the number of bytes to write to the lun mgmt file(max 504 bytes).

DELETE_CAM_REC_SPANS
This command is used for deleting spans of a specific recording line and index containing recordings between a given time interval. The flag "delete enclodes spans only" chooses wether a span shall be deletet if it is completetly enclosed by the time interval or if it only overlaps the interval. The flag "force delete" will delete all spans of the cam independend of the state of the span. That means even if the cam is still recording on a span, the span will be deleted. So use this option very carefully, as it could lead to inconsitencies. If the command return successfully, it doesn't mean, that the deletion is completetd, it just tells the caller, that a asychonous job for deletion was invoked. The command has to be send to the storage lun managing device.
Lower size limit of used vcd cache buffer on recording spans in 64 kb units per 1 GB span. Allowed values from 1 to 4096, 0 to disable cache.
upper size limit
Upper size limit of used vcd cache buffer on recording spans in 64 kb units per 1 GB span. Allowed values from 1 to 4096, 0 to disable cache.
CONF_HDD_VCD_CACHE_SIZE
This command can be used to configure the size of the vcd cache on a span for recording. The size parameters are rellativ to 1 GB span size. If recording is running on soans with diffrent sizes than 1 GB, the values will be internally scaled to the propper size, so it will also work for diffrent span sizes. The usage of a vcd cache on spans will cause space overhead on a storage, so it is possible to switch it of by setting both values to 0. If enabled, the recording will use these values to adjust the size of the vcd cache on spans. The used adjusted sizes will be than limited by these two values, upper limit and lower limit. The adjusment starting value will be between these to values. While recording, the uses space for cached vcd data will be measured and after each span switch, the size will be adjusted by using the measurement values for new mounted spans in order to avoid overhead. It is also possible to set a fix size for the vcd cache by this command by setting the upper and lower limit to equal values. The default value for the command is 1 for lower limit and 128 for upper limit. For read direction an input payload is needed same as the described payload but only line and rec idx are required, the remaining part of the payload can be clipped away.

CONF_SPAN_CERTIFICATES_LIST
This Command can be used to query the certificates of a span, in order to verify the signed video record data within that span. The response will deliver all certificates of the specified span and time intervall. The maximum size of the response can be limited by the caller but it will not exceed 16 kb for the certificates list. If the response payload size isnt't enough to hold all valid certificates, a flag in the response will signal the existence of further certificates, which didn't fit in the response payload. A second query in that case with a smaller time interval may help to get the remaining certificates. The response will have a certificates list with several enries of different size, there are no gaps between the entries.

Storage threshold
This is the threshold of free storage in percent and means that at least this amount of memory should be free. A Message of this command will be send always, this treshold is crossed in eiher direction.
Use this command to configure and manage local or remote storage. The storage list may contain up to 16 entries. If a remote (iscsi) storage is to be managed, the lun address has to be specified. Realize, that if you export an remote storage, the device will have preformance drawbacks cause the ip- and iscsi-stack will be passed through twice. Prefer to access the remote storage directly instead.
The storage lun can be write protected. If this state was recognized, the Mgr Status will inform about this state by the value "WRITE PROTECTION". There are three ways for a storage lun to become write protected here. First to configure explicite the storage lun(Span Mgr) to be in read only mode, second by a defect storage lun, which will cause a fall back into a write protection mode, and third if the storage is set physically to write protection (e.g. user moves the lever on the sd card into the write protection position).
The storage devices will be exported through iscsi in the order of this list (storage devices with the 'iSCSI export' field set to 'For local use only' [0x00] are omitted) and the storage will appear in the same place of the target name list of an iscsi discovery on that device.
This command will be send as msg (can also be send as snmp trap with same pyload) in case of crossing the storage threshold with Mgr status ALARM THRESHOLD or in case of overwriting recording, that is still protected by unexpired retention time with mgr status ALARM OVERWRITE.
NOTE
If the storage list is empty or only contains entries with the 'iSCSI export' field set to 'For local use only' (0x00), the iscsi server is stopped, if it is running, cause no targets and luns would be provided. If the list contains at least one entry with the 'iSCSI export' field set to 'Make storage available through iSCSI' (0x01), the iscsi server is started, if not already running, to provide the iscsi service. The iscsi server can be controlled through the command CONF_ISCSI_SERVER_STATE too.

If the mode is set to LINEAR then the test reads/write from/to consecutive lba addresses.
If the maximum lba is reached and the STORAGE_IO_FLAG_MAX_LBA_END flag is set, the test stops.
Otherwise the test wraps its lba pointer to the beginning of its storage.
If the mode is set to RANDOM then the test reads/write from/to randomly chosen lba addresses of the storage.

If the READ ONLY flag is set, only read operations are performed. May not be used simultaneously with the WRITE ONLY flag.
If the WRITE ONLY flag is set, only write operations are performed. May not be used simultaneously with the READ ONLY flag.
If the KEEP DATA flag is set, all lbas that are written are read before so that no recording data should be destroyed. Be careful that no one else writes to this lun simultaneously. In the latter case data on the storage could be lost.
If the VERIFY WRITE flag is set, every lba that was written is read afterwards to verify that the data was correctly written.
If the EXP BURST INCREASE flag is set, the field 'Burst Size Increase' is ignored. Instead the burst size is doubled after each rnu.
If the ERROR STOP flag is set, the tests stops when an io error occurrs.
If the RESTRICT TO SPAN flag is set, the tests only uses the span of the lun, which is specified in the 'Span Idx' field of the lun-address.
If the ISCSI SESSION EXCLUSIVE flag is set, the tests use an exclusive iscsi session which is not shared among other tests.
If the MAX LBA END flag is set, the tests stops when the write pointer reaches the maximum lba address of the lun/span (only in sequential access mode).

CONF_TARGET_ID_RESOLVE_RULES
This command configures the rules for resolving a storage target id to the parameter for connecting the storage server. The target id is an 32 bit system wide unique identifier and replaces the ipv4 addresses for storages. The display format of an id in text will be "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" like ipv4 addresses. There are special values for the target id, which are 0.0.0.0 for invalid target id, 255.255.255.255 for wildcard and 127.0.0.1 for the local target in order to be backward compartible with older devices and software which expect an ipv4 address instead. The default state for the configured rules containes only one rule for the complete range 0.0.0.1 to 255.255.255.254 and lowest priority 0 for DIRECT_IPV4 for backard compartibility. In order to change or add rules, all which shall be changed or added needs to be send including the table entry index. Entries which shall not be changed doesn't need to be send. Also the read response payload will only contain valid rules, except if the table is empty, in that case only one empty rule will be in the payload.
NOTE
On the Generic (Windows and Linux) the whole table will be persisted in the table. The generic dll won't persist it. All other devices will only persist the first four valid rules.

Appendix - specific error codes
Each rcp command can generate an generic RCP fault as described in the chapter "Rcp Protocol Procedure".
Additional command specific error codes are defined. If an command specific error occurs the Response is 2 bytes long. The first byte is set to RCP_ERROR_COMMAND_SPECIFIC (0xf0), the second byte is set to the specific fault.
The following command specific errors are defined:
