Status Updates
When any route, label, or lock is changed on the multi view by any client, the multi view resends the

If multiple items are changed, multiple items may be present in the update:
OUTPUT LABELS:↵
7 New output 8 label↵
10 New output 11 label↵
↵
Requesting Changes
To update a label, lock or route, the client should send a block of the same form the multi view sends
when its status changes. For example, to change the route of output port 8 to input port 3, the client
should send the following block:

7 2↵

acknowledge the request by responding:
ACK↵
↵
or indicate that the request was not understood by responding:
NAK↵
↵
After a positive response, the client should expect to see a status update from the MultiView showing
the status change. This is likely to be the same as the command that was sent, but if the request could
not be performed, or other changes were made simultaneously by other clients, there may be more
