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 RFT-500 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_modem in local mode'cr''lf']

(Modem in local error; send the REM command to go to remote mode.)

! >add/?ER5_hard coded parameter'cr''lf']

(Error message indicating that the parameter is hardware dependent and may not be changed
remotely.)

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