DENY Output Response Message Conventions – The DENY response contains
a four-character error code (ercd) that describes the reason for the denied
response. For example, the error code ICNV indicates
Input Command Not Valid .
The error codes are listed in Table B-3 .
The SSU-2000 sends the DENY response when:
the cmd is not valid
the aid is not valid
the ctag is not valid, indicated by a response containing the ctag set to a single
zero character (0)
the unit is unable to comply with the request for the reason indicated by the ercd
The format for a denied (DENY) output response message is:
<cr lf lf>
^^^sid^date^time <cr lf>
M^^ctag^DENY <cr lf>
^^^ercd <cr lf>
