A developer can build and send DC-09 UDP or TCP messages across a network using this PC tool. Messages may optionally be encrypted using the 128 bit AES encryption (with block chaining) that is specified in the DC-09 standard. Using data for fields that the user specifies, the tool builds a correct DC-09 packet, applies the correct CRC according to the DC-07 specification and transmits the message to a receiver. The response from the receiver is displayed and decrypted if necessary.
Features
- select TCP or UDP transport for DC-09 messages
- configurable destination IP address and port
- accepts user-supplied 128 bit encryption key
- encrypts messages when ID token specifies encrypted format (*)
- accepts user input for all defined message fields, including:
Benefits
- reduces testing time by allowing messages to be sent on demand, rather than buying and configuring a panel and getting it to send messages
- allows experimentation with a variety of message transmission types to select the best for your application
- reduces field issues, by allowing a full set of messages to be transmitted, rather than just those your available panel can send
- reduces rework by providing a stable reference implementation of the DC-09 standard
-
- ID token
- sequence number
- receiver number
- account prefix
- account number
- message data
- extended data
- timestamp
- automatically inserts padding characters (fixed to “p” for testing) when needed
- default values are provided for all message fields
- default data is provided for a variety of ID token selections
- application calculates message length and DC-07 CRC
- accepts reply message and displays it in ASCII format (and decrypts it if needed)
