Confusion about versions - E1.20 RDM (Remote Device Management) Protocol Forums

sblair · July 31st, 2006

There's some confusion here. The Standard itself is ANSI E1.20. This is the identifier for the Standard in the big world of ANSI standards. It has nothing to do with the "version" number.

During the development there were draft version numbers of the standard we used mostly for our own tracking purposes.

The final version of the published Standard is v1.0. Keep in mind there was also a draft version 1.0 very early on as well.

What I'm sure Wayne meant was that they were no longer planning to support the draft versions in Jump Start as the final version has been approved and they'll be supporting that soon.

Thanx for the clarification scott,
Im sure you meant "draft revision 1.0" not version

But from the Artistic License's reply :-
"Unfortunately we will not be supporting V1.2 as RDM will be approved
shortly and then we will be supporting the final version V2"

And from what you said:-
"The final version of the published Standard is v1.0"

Thee 'Jump start' currently supports draft 1.0
(coz in the RDM packet it sends the sub-device field is of 1 byte only)

Can I thus notify Artisitic License, that the final RDM standard has been approved already ?

I hope I understood you clearly.
:D
