B.2.3 Command/Response

The command/response portion of the message contains a variable-length character
sequence which conveys command and response data.

If the switch receives a message addressed to it which does not match the established
protocol or cannot be implemented, a negative acknowledgment message is sent in
response. This message is:

>add/?ER1_parity error'cr''lf']

(Error message for received parity errors.)

>add/?ER2_invalid parameter'cr''lf']

(Error message for a recognized command which cannot be implemented or has parameters
which are out of range.)

>add/?ER3_unrecognizable command'cr''lf']

(Error message for unrecognizable command or bad command syntax.)

>add/?ER4_converter in lock mode'cr''lf']

(Controller in Lock mode. Must go to Enable mode first.)

>add/?ER5_not supported by hardware'cr''lf']

(Command is valid command, but it is not supported by the current hardware configuration.)

>add/?ER6_address in use'cr''lf']

(Address specified in the ASA, ASB, or ASR command is already assigned.)

>add/?ER7_RSU-503 in auto mode'cr''lf']

(Switch is in Auto mode. Must go to Manual mode first.)

Note: “add” is used to indicate a valid 1 to 3 character device address in the
range between 1 and 255.

B.2.4 End Character

Each message is ended with a single character which signals the end of the message:

“cr”

Carriage return character for commands

“]”

End bracket for responses
