Character Definition
*
(ASCII code 42)
If the Controller sends the command to set a parameter to a particular value, and the value sent is valid BUT the router will not permit
that particular parameter to be changed at present, the Target acknowledges the message and responds with, for example, MLC* (with
message arguments).
#
(ASCII code 35)
If the Controller sends a correctly formatted command, BUT the unit is not in Remote Mode, it does not allow reconfiguration and
responds, for example, with MLC#.
7.2.2.6 Optional Message Arguments
Arguments are not required for all messages. Arguments are ASCII codes for the characters ‘0’ to ‘9’ (ASCII codes 48 to 57), period ‘.’
(ASCII code 46), and comma ‘,’ (ASCII code 44).
7.2.2.7 End of Packet
• Controller-to-Target: This is the ‘Carriage Return’ ([CR]) character (ASCII code 13).
• Target-to-Controller: This is the two-character sequence ‘Carriage Return’, ‘Line Feed’ ([cr][lf]) (ASCII codes 13 and 10). Both
indicate the valid termination of a packet.
