response (if applicable). In some examples, there are multiple steps
that are needed to complete the function requested. Within these
steps, there are pause or delay times that must be used in-between
each step.

represents 0x0d and 0x0a respectively. The beginning of frame (:)
represents (0x3a).
Heartbeat Function
The heartbeat function, when enabled, allows the display to
determine if it is no longer on the network or if the host device is not
functioning properly (not sending data or a heartbeat). Should the
display not see any serial activity (valid or invalid) within 3 seconds,
an error message No Network Activity is displayed. The heartbeat is
either enabled or disabled via protocol or software.
Factory Default: DISABLED.
Enable the Heartbeat Function
The displays are shipped with the heartbeat disabled. Should the
heartbeat function be required, the following string of information
enables the display to look for a heartbeat or serial activity.
