RP1210_CLIENTCONNECT ()

This function is the first function called by an application seeking a connection with a vehicle network. Inside the API's DLL, a call to this function allocates and initializes any client data structures, loads, initializes, or activates any device drivers (virtual or otherwise) to communicate with the hardware and sets all RP 1210 client application variables to their defaults (Echo Mode, FilterStates  , etc). If the connection is successful, the function shall return a unique identifier, corresponding to the ID of the client application, as assigned by the API DLL.

If a VDA is capable of automatically detecting the baud rate of the protocol being connected to, the VDA will determine the correct speed and connect the application at that speed if the string ":Baud=Auto" is appended to the protocol name string. See the section entitled Notes on J1939 at 500k (J1939-14) and Auto Baud Rate Detection  .
