Hex Data Format

The data sent to EL is sent in ASCII Hex. The number of Hex digits must be adhered to. For example, the MAC address is 6 characters, so 6 Hex pairs will be specified in the packet, and twelve Hex pairs will be actually delivered through the Ethernet as seen by a packet monitoring program.

In order to set the IP address to 192.168.0.90 (or in hex: C0 A8 00 5A) A complete UDP packet would be

^^IdIC0A8005A

The data stream shown by Wireshark, or other packet monitor would be:

5E 5E 49 64 49 43 30 41 38 30 30 35 41
