7.3.4
Command Forms
Some commands have short name syntax in addition to long name syntax to
allow faster typing. The response is always in long syntax.
7.3.5
Command Chaining
Multiple commands can be chained in the same string. Each command is
delimited by a pipe character ( '|' ). When chaining commands, enter the
message starting character
and the message closing character only once, at
the beginning of the string and at the end.
Commands in the string do not execute until the closing character is entered.
A separate response is sent for every command in the chain.
7.3.6
Maximum String Length
64 characters
7.3.7
Backward Support
Protocol 2000 is transparently supported by Protocol 3000. You can switch
between protocols using a switch protocol command from either platform.
