If a character is typed and that characters appear in the Next Field list, the keyboard should move the focus to the next
field. For example, when entering time, a ":" is used as a next field character. If you hit "1:2", the 1 is entered in the
current field (hours) and then the focus is moved to the next field and 2 is entered in that field.
When entering time in a 12-hour format, entry of AM and PM is required. Instead of adding AM/PM to the input mask
specification, the AM/PM should be handled within the NetLinx code. This allows a programmer to show/hide and
provide discrete feedback for AM and PM.

The following are some common input masking examples:
URL Resources
A URL can be broken into several parts. For example: the URL http://www.amx.com/company-info-home.asp. This URL
indicates that the protocol in use is http (HyperText Transport Protocol) and that the information resides on a host
machine named www.amx.com. The image on that host machine is given an assignment (by the program) name of
company-info-home.asp (Active Server Page).
The exact meaning of this name on the host machine is both protocol dependent and host dependent. The information
normally resides in a file, but it could be generated dynamically. This component of the URL is called the file
component, even though the information is not necessarily in a file.
A URL can optionally specify a port, which is the port number to which the TCP connection is made on the remote host
machine. If the port is not specified, the default port for the protocol is used instead. For example, the default port for http
is 80. An alternative port could be specified as: http://www.amx.com:8080/company-info-home.asp.
