Class Hip

public class Hip
extends java.lang.Object

Describes HIP (Host Interface Protocol) object.

The Host Interface Protocol is a multiplexing layer designed to allow several types of message streams to share the same physical link layer. CnS is one of the supported streams. HIP is used to carry control and status data between the modem and the host to provide management of the modem device. This management consists of:

• Non-volatile configuration of the device

• Run-time configuration of the device

• Status reporting and monitoring of the device

This protocol does not include checksums. It relies on a high-reliability physical interface between the host and the modem to reduce the processing burden on the microprocessor.

HIP format:

Byte offset	Content
0	Framing character (0x7E)
1-2	Length of ooptional payload
3	Message ID
4	Parameter
5-n	Optional payload
n+1	Framing character (0x7E)

The minimum length of a HIP packet is six bytes, for a packet without the optional payload. Note that such a packet would have the first field set to 0x0000—no payload.
