SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. When the FOX T USW 203 determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the transmitter or receiver to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.
