A.4.7

End of Packet

Controller-to-Target: This is the 'Carriage Return' character (ASCII code 13).
Target-to-Controller: This is the two-character sequence 'Carriage Return' (ASCII code 13), and
'Line Feed' (ASCII code 10).
Both indicate the valid termination of a packet.
The ∼ code is only used as follows:
If a message was sent via a local modem to a distant end device or ODU, the
message was transmitted transparently through the local modem. In the event of
the distant-end device not responding, the local modem would generate a
response. Example: 0001/RET~, indicating that it had finished waiting for a
response and was now ready for further comms.
