Control Length

The byte length of the data for this control request. This data immediately follows the header.

Packet Length

Some protocols allow packet data (data to be transmitted over the wire) to be passed to a control write following the control request data. For this protocol, these two bytes must be zero because the protocol does not allow packet data within a control write.

This protocol supports the following Control Code:

5 CW_STATS

Send IO_STATS status message

This control write triggers the protocol to send an IO_STATS status message. For the format of this message, see the section on “Status and Error Messages”. The control length is zero.

Note that the Non-E1/T1 version of this protocol must have Control Write processing enabled, in order to be able to process Control Write requests. See the “Terminal Definitions” section of for details.
