G.6.2 Command/Response

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

If a satellite modem 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; use 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.

G.6.3 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
