Passwords are case sensitive and although commands, keywords and labels are not case
sensitive, labels will be displayed in the case given when set.
The command format is <password> <command> <optional variables …>
If an incorrect password is sent or the command is not recognised, including commands
above
a user’s access level, the MesCom will not respond. The MesCom will NOT reply with
an error or fail response. A lack of response should be interpreted as a failure. This is to
avoid responding to messages from network operators and incorrect numbers.
