entire packet until it receives an acknowledgment or will disconnect if the RETRY count
is reached. Version 2 will first send a poll, the response to this poll will determine if the
packet was received. It is possible that the ack was collided with and therefore the data
packet does not need to be resent. If the ACK shows that the data packet was not
received, it will be re-transmitted. Each time a poll is answered the TRIES count is reset
to 0. If the RETRY count is reached, version 2 will attempt to re-connect unless RELINK
is OFF. If the re-connect attempt is unsuccessful, then version 2 will issue a disconnect.
