2.5 Command Ack (Acknowledge) Value Response
When command codes are entered into a terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal) and are
accepted by the system, they respond back to the terminal screen one at a time, as noted below in the
table. The complete comma
nd has executed successfully when all of the entered characters including “s”
which stands for status, appear. If a command character is not accepted, a different character than the one
entered appears and all or part of the command has not been executed.
