Changing from V3 to V4 API commands
The basic V3 commands (connect, disconnect, status) still exist in V4 of the API. The V3 connect command automatically
creates an active keyboard (backchannel) connection. This no longer happens in V4. The user must send the second connect
command to create this connection. Because the user must explicitly create the active keyboard connection, the XMVKYBD
command is no longer necessary. In its place, use the 'c' connect command.
The port numbers used below are for these examples only and they may not be valid for all VxRouter models. In the V4
API, the 'I' and 'O' in the commands may be either upper or lower case, except in the XPUT command. In XPUT, the case
of the letter 'I' determines the direction of the connection. A lower case 'i' would correspond to a lower case 'c', and an upper
case 'I' to an upper case 'C'.

Table 3: V3 vs. V4 commands
* the 'di' commands will break any back-channel connections that might be in place from the keyboards at 0004
and 0005. This is done to prevent the accidental connection of a keyboard to more than one CPU.
