GENERIC PROTOCOL

“R”: Router Reset

Use this command to force the routing switcher to reset, by sending it the command "RESET". If

an administrator password has been set (using the “G ADMIN_PASSWORD” command

described later in this document), then the password must be sent in a “K” message prior to

sending this command, else this command will generate an error. For example, the command:

**RESET!!

would initiate a reset (if the password has been entered, if required), and when the router finished

the reset operation, something like this would be received, just as if the router had powered up:

“I”: Capabilities Inquiry

The command "I" requests that command capability information be returned to the host. The

information is sent as a string of characters. The first characters are a space followed by "I", the

next characters are the letters of the commands that are implemented and available in this router,

and the last character is "~" (tilde). Do not count on the characters being in any specific order.

Search all characters for a particular one.

All routing switchers implement the I, L, S, and X commands. The Q command will

eventually be added to all.

For example, the command: **I!!

might return the following string:

** ILSX~ OK !!<CR>

indicating that the router supports the I, L, S, and X commands from the host.

“Q”: Model Name and Software Version Inquiry

The command "Q" requests that the router model name and software version number string be

returned to the host. The information is sent as a string of characters. The first characters are a

space followed by "Q", the next characters are the router model name, terminated by a "~" (tilde).

Following this are the characters of the software version number string, again terminated by a "~"

(tilde).

For example, the command:

**Q!!

might return the following string:

** QSmall~V2.1~ OK !!<CR>

indicating that the router model name is "Small" and the software version number is "V2.1".
