‘CTF’ – Set CRC16 Protocol

Command/Response Syntax

Command:

CTF

Response:

CTB

Login Level

Login Level:

CTF

– None

Description

When the “CTF” command is received, the Link Manager will require the CRC16
version of the protocol (versus the Simple Protocol). The protocol will follow the
<SOH>CommandCRC16<CR> protocol and disallow the <STX>Command<CR>
protocol. See the “CTB” command to set the Simple Protocol.

Examples

Command:

<SOH>CTF<CR>

Response: <SOH>CTF<CR>
Remarks:

Link Manager will now accept commands only using the

<SOH>CommandCRC16<CR> protocol.
