Parameter Description for PIDs declared by SubDevice - E1.20 RDM (Remote Device Management) Protocol Forums

zano_villa · April 1st, 2025

Hello,
On page 55 of the standard in reference to SUPPORTED PARAMETERS PID it is written: "Manufacturer specific PIDs may or may not be included in the response". If I have implemented a MANUFACTURER SPECIFIC PID in my device, I need to list it otherwise the controller has no other way of knowing about its existence. Am I right? And what about the STATUS_ID_DESCRIPTION of a MANUFACTURER SPECIFIC message? How does the controller know in advance the implemented STATUS ID to be able to request its description?
Does it request it a posteriori? Thanks
