Appendix C Status Port (1900) Example 

 
The data in this first section (boot+) is provided each time the user connects to the status port.  It 
allows users to obtain all of the system 

network/settings/config/status 

parameters each time they 

connect to the status port.  Once this data is sent the only data forwarded from this port is the data 
that has changed since the system has been running.  This data will be preceded by the date and 
time of the event as this information is updated.  It is important to recognize these parameters are 
also reflected in the results from the status command.
