Command reference (Dewesoft NET protocol version 4)

Each command has to have a new line suffix (0x13 + 0x10). Commands in the red color only can only be sent in control mode.

IMPORTANT: When writing a command over telnet you have only one try to type it correctly. If you do a typo, then backspace the letters, and continue writing the command, it will fail to execute this command. Most likely you will get “+ ERR Command not processed” error message. Whether you succeed on the first try the command will proceed without any problems. Likewise, the copy/paste command works well.
