Example Of "Base 95; Example Of "Exclusive Or" Algorithm - Comtech EF Data XTRT-400C Operation And Installation Manual

"Base 95"
"Exclusive OR"

Example of "Base 95"

Message ("ID/Version" Query): {A0}
1 Take Sum of Message Bytes
2. Subtract 32
3. Modulus 95
4. Add 32

Example of "Exclusive OR" Algorithm

Message ("ID/Version" Query): STX A 0 ETX (ASCII)
Progressively XORs the bytes to establish the check byte
Check byte = STX ^ A ^ 0 ^ ETX = ASCII character (may be non-
printable)
thus:

Table 3, Check Byte Calculation
1. Take [Sum (all message bytes)] – 32 = C
2. Then take [Modulus C ("Base 95")] + 32 = Result (Printable ASCII
character in range of 32 to 126)
XOR (all message bytes) = Result (non-printable byte)
'{' + 'A' + '0' + '}'
123 + 65 + 48 + 125 = 361
361 – 32 = 329
329% 95 = 44
44 + 32 = 76 (ASCII 'L')
