Command
Protocol
•
If AUTOBAUD is on, start any session by pressing the <CR> key three
times in sequence. This will ensure identification of terminal data rate.
•
When the ASMi-450 uses a non-zero node address, it expects an address
before responding to the terminal commands. No response will occur until
the node number is received and acknowledged by the addressed
ASMi-450.
Acknowledgment is indicated by the echoing of the node address part, i.e.
Node<SP>nnn<SP>, where <SP> stands for space.
