The IP Address string format is up to 42 ASCII characters including a terminating NULL character. The first byte in the array is the
left-most character in the string as written. For example: If the IP Address is 423.156.78.012, the first byte is the ASCII character “4”. If
the MSG destination is an INTERCHANGE client on a host computer, the destination is specified as “client” and stored as a NULL
terminated string.
