SendCommand Method

Will format and send a PDU using the specified command identifier and payload.

Syntax

smpp.sendCommand(commandId, payload_Buffer, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err, buffer){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'buffer' is the value returned by the method.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method offers a way to do more with the class than is directly supported. This method takes a command identifier and a payload, which includes every required and optional field after the header, and will create the 16-byte header for it before sending it to the server. The response PDU is returned both in the PITrail and by this method.
