The 3964(R) procedure controls the data transfer of a point-to-point link
between the CP 240 and a communication partner. The procedure adds
control characters to the message data during data transfer. These control
characters may be used by the communication partner to verify the
complete and error free receipt.
The procedure employs the following control characters:
• STX Start of Text
• DLE Data Link Escape
• ETX End of Text
• BCC Block Check Character (only for 3964R)
• NAK Negative Acknowledge
Note!
When a DLE is transferred as part of the information it is repeated to
distinguish between data characters and DLE control characters that are
used to establish and to terminate the connection (DLE duplication). The
DLE duplication is reversed in the receiving station.
The 3964(R) procedure requires that a lower priority is assigned to the
communication partner. When communication partners issue simultaneous
send commands the station with the lower priority will delay its send
command.
