 | | In other words, when a character arrives at the receiver, the character has two meanings, it's either a data byte, or it's a control byte (which is used as information signals between the sender and receiver). |
 | | Synchronize character, it establishes and maintains character synchronization prior to a message block and during transmission. |
 | | If the BCC of the receiver does not match that of the sender, the receiver knows an error has occurred during transmission, and will instruct the sender to re-send the block by replying with a negative acknowledge (NACK). |
