the query header is the string “route:close?”. The argument associated with
this query is the channel list “(@m1(1:64))”. At least one white space
character must be sent before the channel list argument.
H All characters in a command can be sent in either upper or lower case form.
H Multiple data parameters passed by a command are separated by a comma
(,).

returned. All responses from the module are terminated with a carriage return
<CR> and a line feed <LF> (hexadecimal 0A) character.
H In the command descriptions, the following special characters are used.
Except for the colon (:), these characters are not part of the command and
should not be sent. If an optional field is omitted, the default for the
command is applied.
[ ] Brackets indicate an optional field
| A bar indicates a logical OR choice
: A colon is used to separate command fields
< > Field indicator
