Understanding DF1 Protocol

Publication 1770Ć6.5.16 - October 1996

Both half-duplex and full-duplex protocols are character-oriented.
They use the ASCII control characters in the tables below, extended
to eight bits by adding a zero for bit 7:

(For the standard definition of these characters, refer to the ANSI
X3.4, CCITT V.3, and ISO 646 standards.)

A symbol is a sequence of one or more bytes having a specific
meaning to the link protocol. The component characters of a
symbol must be sent one after another with no other characters
between them. DF1 protocol combines the characters listed in the
tables above into control and data symbols:

Control symbols are fixed symbols required by the DF1 protocol
to read a particular message

Data symbols are variable symbols which contain the application
data for a particular message
