Except for ending with \c, the sending string will be automatically added with a
return to its end whenever it is sent.
A receiving string is matched via the location-independent matching method.
That is, a match is considered successful as long as the received contents
contain the expected string.
Concerning the match of receiving string, there can be multiple expected
receiving strings. The match operation on a receiving string will be considered
successful if the receiving string is matched with any expected receiving strings
which are separated by hyphens ("-").
The default timeout time waiting for a receiving string is 5 seconds. TIMEOUT
seconds can be inserted into the script to adjust the timeout time waiting for the
receiving string, which is valid till a new TIMEOUT is set in the same script. For
its meanings, refer to the following table.
Table 2-1 Script keywords
Keyword
ABORT receive-string
TIMEOUT seconds
All the strings and keywords in a script are case-sensitive.
Both strings and keywords are separated by spaces. If a space is contained in a
string, it should be put in the double quotation marks (" "). A pair of empty
quotation marks (that is, "") have two possible meanings. Being a leading "" in a
script, it means that no string needs to be sent and the system will directly wait
for the receiving string. If "" is put at any other locations, the string content will be
regarded to be "".
ABORT receive-string can be inserted anywhere in a script to change the script
execution flow. Its presence in the script indicates that the script execution will be
terminated if a received string is fully matched to the receive-string set by
ABORT receive-string. Multiple ABORT entries can be defined in a script, and
they will take effect concurrently. Once a received string matches any of them,
the script execution will be terminated. Regardless of where the ABORT
receive-string is placed, it will take effect in the whole script execution process.
Escape characters can be inserted in a script for the purpose of better controlling
the script and increasing its flexibility. In addition, all the escape characters are
the delimiters in the string at the same time. Refer to the following table for
details.

The string following ABORT will be compared with the string sent from a Modem or
a remote DTE device for a full match. Multiple ABORT entries can be configured for
a script, and all of them take effect in the whole script execution period.
The digit following TIMEOUT is used to set the timeout interval that the device waits
for receiving strings. If no expected strings are received within the interval, the
execution of the script will be failed. Once being set, the setting will be valid till a new
TIMEOUT is set.
