APS-8M / APS-16M Asynchronous Port Switches; User’s Guide
11.2. Command Response
When commands are sent to the APS-8/16M, the unit can respond with either
verbose (English Text) or terse messages (numeric / abbreviated). In the
default state, all ports will send verbose command responses.
After the unit is installed and configured, the port configuration command
(/P) can specify an individual response format for each port. In addition to
the Terse and Verbose response modes, the port configuration commands can
also select the Quiet Mode. When the Quiet Mode is selected, the port will not
send messages in response to commands.
The table below summarizes the various response messages for both the Terse
and Verbose modes.
