3.2.7 Set String
The set string function is used to set a string, however it is restricted to six ASCII characters. Only a

few parameters implement this function.

The parameter request packet takes the following format:

1

2

3

4

5

6

7

8

9

10 11 12 13 14 15 16

‘A’

‘P’ ‘E’

paramID

attribute

Value

‘A’

Where

‘A’, ‘P’, ‘E’

are literal ASCII characters.

paramID

is the parameter identifier. (see 3.2.1.2 Parameter Identifier)

attribute

is the attribute identifier. (see 3.2.1.3 Attribute)

value

is a value.

There is no difference between the avParamAttr_value and avParamAttr_e2value attributes. The

current recommendation is to set attribute to avParamAttr_value.

The string must be six ASCII characters long. If it is shorter the space character (‘ ’, 32, 0x20) must be

used to pad the string. Put this string in the Value bytes. Null termination should NOT be used.

The set string function on successful completion will return a successful reply packet. See

3.2.2.1

Success Reply Packet”.
