varies by the amount of attached data bytes. It may contain 11+N bytes where N is the
amount of requested data bytes from a particular table, specified in Data Length field.

The Set Request command allows the sender to actively change parameters for the receiv-
er’s internal configuration. The Set Request frame must contain a number of bytes in the Data
Field as specified in Data length field. The frame size must be 11+N bytes, where N is the
length of the attached data structure. The receiver will respond with a frame where the
command field will be set to a Set Response designator. The frame length is equal to the
Request frame. The byte value for each command is given in Table 10-2.

10.1.2.4 Data Tag

The SSPA internal structure is organized in several tables, all of which share similar function-
ality and internal resources. To access the various tables, the data tag must be specified in
the request frame. The data associated with certain tags is read only. Therefore only the
“Get” command request would be allowed to access these data tags. The SSPA will return an
error on attempts to issue a “Set” request to a read-only table tag. Various tables may contain
values formatted either in 1 or 2 bytes format. See Table 10-3.
