When typing commands or reading responses, it is important to understand the valid
message structure
. An overview of valid message structure is presented here.
Messages on the KP-10 fall into the categories of commands and responses. Commands
are messages which the KP-10 transmits to the RFT, while responses are messages
returned by the RFT in response to a command.
To enter and send a command:
1 Type the command strings using the character and numeric keys.
2 Press [ENTER].
For details on specific commands and parameters, refer to the “Remote Control
Operation” section in the installation and operation manual for the appropriate Comtech
EF Data CST or KST system.
