Changes take effect with the first character following the end of header character } of the configuration packet. Each control character must be unique and cannot appear anywhere else in your packet, except within quotation marks. You can customize the trailer characters to work with your host.

Wait two seconds for the new characters to take effect before sending packets using the new characters.

Use the following syntax for the control characters packet. Notice all but the first parameter are within quotation marks.
