Unpack a CTI Message
Procedure
| Step 1 | Read the first 4 bytes as an unsigned integer. This value is the message BodyLength. Remember to convert the BodyLength bytes from network-byte order to host-byte order. |
| Step 2 | Make sure all the BodyLength bytes are available from the network before further unpacking. |
| Step 3 | Read the next 4 bytes and convert them to a host-byte-order unsigned integer. This value is the MessageTypeID. |
| Step 4 | Based on the MessageTypeID, you can then use the message body definition to find out the fixed fields and their appropriate order in the fixed part of the message. |
| Step 5 | Read each field, one by one, and convert it to host data-byte order, if needed. |
| Step 6 | Based on the FieldDataID value and its definition, convert the floating data fields to the host-byte order, if necessary. |
| Step 7 | Repeat this process to unpack the rest of floating fields until the end of the message. The end of the message is determined by the Message BodyLength. |
