ASCHEX vs. Binary Values
Data can be sent to the Module as either binary data or a hexadecimal
representation of the actual data being transmitted.
When a LAN device or serial port Host issues a
pass
command, the data is
transmitted as binary data. By comparison, when the command
putget
or
putexpect
is issued, the
senddata
content must be encoded as ASCII
hexadecimal digit pairs. The data is translated across the Module and received
as an ASCII representation of the actual data. This is true whether the
transmission initiates from the LAN device or from the Host.
For example, the digits 31 correspond to the ASCII character 1. If you issue a
putget
or
putexpect
command with the
senddata
value of 314151, the
destination receives the ASCII characters
1
,
A
, and
Q
.

Command Responses
The Module responds to CLI commands with a response indicating whether the
CLI command was executed successfully. All responses are terminated by
<CR><LF>
.
Multiline responses have each line terminated with
<LF><CR>
with the response
terminated by
<CR><LF>
..
After the Module executes a CLI command successfully, it returns the response:
OK<CR><LF>
Otherwise, it returns an error response. Error responses are returned in the
following general format:
Error 0xhhhh:
error text
<CR><LF>
In the response the aschex value is the error code. A summary of error code can
be found in section TBD.
