3.1 MESSAGE STRUCTURE

When typing commands or reading responses, it is important to understand the valid

message structure. An overview of valid message structure is presented here.

Messages on the KP-10 fall into the categories of commands and responses. Commands

are messages which the KP-10 transmits to the RFT, while responses are messages

returned by the RFT in response to a command.

To enter and send a command:

Type the command strings using the character and numeric keys.

Press [ENTER].

For details on specific commands and parameters, refer to the “Remote Control

Operation” section in the installation and operation manual for the appropriate Comtech

EF Data CST or KST system.
