REMOTE CONTROL A.1 Introduction A.2 Basic Protocol A.3 Commands or Responses A.1 I NTRODUCTION This document describes the protocol and message repertoire for remote monitor and control of the CSAT Outdoor terminal. The electrical interface is either an EIA-485 multi-drop bus (for the control of many devices) or an EIA-232 connection (for the control of a single device), and data is transmitted in asynchronous serial form, using ASCII characters.
