CR
– For host messages; carriage return (ASCII 13)
CRLF

When a message string contains more than one command, a pipe ( '|' ) character
separates each command.

12.1.4
Entering Commands
You can directly enter all commands using a terminal with ASCII communication
software, such as HyperTerminal, Hercules, etc. Connect the terminal to the serial,
Ethernet, or USB port on the Kramer device. To enter CR , press the Enter key.
( LF is also sent but is ignored by the command parser).
For commands sent from some non-Kramer controllers like Crestron, some
characters require special coding (such as, /X##). Refer to the controller manual.
12.1.5
Bi-directional Definition
All commands are bi-directional. That is, if the device receives the code, it will
perform the instruction; and if the instruction is performed (due to a keystr
OK
e
operation on the front panel or IR controller), then these codes are sent to the PC
or other RS-232 / Ethernet / USB controller.
12.1.6
Command Forms
Some commands have short name syntax in addition to long name syntax to allow
faster typing. The response is always in long syntax.
