The parameter value field is included only in Change requests (not in Read requests). The parameter
value field consists of a two-octet parameter value header followed by a list of values. Depending
on the format of the parameter, the octet size of a single value is one, two or four octets. The total
size of the parameter value field thus depends on the format and number of values in the message.
