Binary numeric constants consist of a sequence of one or more of the characters "0" and
"1".
In all numeric constants, the most significant digit is specified first. Leading "0"
characters are ignored by the modem. No spaces, hyphens, periods, commas,
parentheses, or other generally-accepted numeric formatting characters are permitted in
numeric constants; note in particular that no "H" suffix is appended to the end of
hexadecimal constants.
String Constants
String constants consist of a sequence of displayable IA5 characters, each in the range
from 2/0 to 7/15, inclusive, except for the characters ‘"’ (IA5 2/2) and "\" (IA5 5/12).
String constants are bounded at the beginning and end by the double-quote character (‘"’,
IA5 2/2).
Any character value may be included in the string by representing it as a backslash ("\")
character followed by two hexadecimal digits. For example, "\0D" is a string consisting
of the single character <CR> (IA5 0/13). If the "\" character itself is to be represented in a
string, it is encoded as "\5C". The double-quote character, used as the beginning and
ending string delimiter, is represented within a string constant as "\22".
A "null" string constant, or a string constant of zero length, is represented by two
adjacent delimiters ("").
Compound Values
Actions may have more than one sub parameter associated with them, and parameters
may have more than one value. These are known as "compound values", and their
treatment is the same in both actions and parameters.
A compound value consists of any combination of numeric and string values (as defined
in the description of the action or parameter). The comma character must be included as a
separator, before the second and all subsequent values in the compound value. If a value
is not specified (i.e., defaults assumed), the required comma separator must be specified;
however, trailing comma characters may be omitted if all associated values are also
omitted.
