A.2.3 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; 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.

Example: Command:

<3/REM_

Response:

>3/REM_
