Introduction

RATCv2 is telnet compatible, meaning that it is text-based and that it is possible to use a telnet client program to drive it.

If you want to send RATC2 commands over TCP, each command and its arguments must be followed by a CR and/or LF. However, if you are sending RATC2 commands over a serial connection, only an LF must be used.

Note: In contrast to RATC1 commands, RATC2 commands are case sensitive.

Each response is followed by CR/LF. The command is a token, the alias is a token, and the value is a token. The alias can have spaces, but if it does, it must be enclosed in double quotes so as to make it a single token.

Each command has an abbreviated shortcut formed from the first letter of each word within the command.
