The ASCII command must be sent to the device (FW 2.4 and earlier), to switch to ASCII-Timing Protocol communication mode and make all other commands in this document available.

ASCII resets all communication parameters to default values. This is to ensure that your application can always call ASCII as a first command talking to a new box and be sure the communication itself is on default values.
ASCII resets:

• Push Prewarn OFF
• Push Passings OFF
• Check Sum Mode OFF 

For backwards compatibility ASCII can be used without Check Sum, even when Check Sum mode is enabled.
