Command lines are terminated by Carriage Return <CR> or Line Feed <LF> or both. In order to be able to communicate with Windows systems, Linux systems or other systems, the CU understands both types of command line terminations. Notice also, there is a space between the command and data. If a command does not carry any data, space is possible but not required. The CU is not sensitive to upper/lower case. Example: mic_on 212<CR> Turn on microphone a seat 212. Command = 'mic_on', data = '212'. The ‘mic_on’ command carries a seat number as data. 10.1.3 Command structure (from CU 5905 to External Control) Command lines out of the CU 5905 are just as simple: <command><SP><data><CR><LF> <SP> Space ‐ 0x20 = 32 <CR> Carriage return ‐ 0x0D = 13 <LF> Line Feed ‐ 0x0A = 10 Again, to satisfy most systems, the CU terminates command lines by including both <CR> and <LF>.

The CU supports streaming of status. When an external control application issues a ‘mic_status’ or ‘audio_status’ command, the CU responds by sending the microphone system status. The same goes for ‘audio status’.

If the CU turns on the microphone, it will reply with a ‘mic_on’ command. And, if the microphone appeared in the equest list, it is taken out of the request list, which makes the CU issue a ‘mic_request_off’ command as well. 10.2.1.2 Turn off microphone mic_off <seat no><CR> Instruct the CU to turn off microphone at seat_no. f the CU turns off the microphone, it replies with a ‘mic_off’ command.
