Data

1

Server/Client Number for data to transmit. If the word contains a value

of -1, no transmit data is present. If the word contains a value from 0 to
maximum number of servers -1, the block contains data to send from

the specified server in the module. If the word contains a value from 10

to 14, then the block contains data to send from one of the clients.

2

Number of characters to transmit to a server or client. Each block can
transmit up to 400 bytes of data. If this word contains a value of -1, the

block contains 400 bytes of data and more blocks of data are to follow.
When the module received the last block containing a positive value

representing the number of bytes in the block, the server or client will

transmit the data to the end device.
