end="pattern" (custom, ascii_import, chat)
The Digi device uses this character pattern to detect an end of a
message. The default is "" or no pattern.
Rules and guidelines for specifying this character pattern string are:
• The string can be between 1 and 4 characters long.
• The string can be made up of printable or unprintable characters.
• To use an unprintable character, enter the character in hexadecimal
format, that is, \xhh, where hh is replaced with a hexadecimal
number. For example: \x03 or \x7E.
• These special characters can be entered using a shortcut: \t (tab), \r
(carriage return), \n (line feed).
• To use the backslash character as a delimiter, enter two backslash
characters (\\).
• To indicate that the last character should be ignored when
determining the end of a message, use a \* (backslash asterisk). To
indicate that two characters should be ignored, use \*\* and so on.
• The quote marks are optional, but use “” to disable the end pattern.
eoln_form={auto|cr|nl|crnl|nlcr|time|pattern} (ascii_import)
Defines how the chat protocol engine detects end-of-line (EOLN)
behavior. Client messages are only forwarded after behavior EOLN is
detected. The chat protocol also attempts to correct mismatched EOLN
between clients and servers.
auto
The Digi device attempts to detect the EOLN as CR, NL, CRNL, or
NLCR.
cr
The <CR> or \x0D byte is used to detect the EOLN.
crnl
The <CR><NL> or \x0D\x0A byte pair is used to detect the EOLN.
nl
The <NL> or \x0A byte is used to detect the EOLN.
nlcr
The <NL><CR> or \x0A\x0D byte pair is used to detect the EOLN.
time
The "chartimeout" option is used to detect a time-gap as the EOLN.
pattern
The end pattern specified on the "end" option is used to detect the
EOLN.
The default is "auto."
