When an error of this type is detected, the error message ‘***Command not allowed!’ is displayed. Packet protocol This section provides details of the Codan packet protocol. For information on other packet protocol modes, contact your Codan representative. The packet protocol allows up to 126 devices to be addressed. The transceiver only responds to commands containing its own address or a global address of 127.
