The transmission frame has a single block or multiple transmission blocks. Each transmission block
consists of a network frame ID character, a network frame number, a start control character, data
block number (3 digits), a message (up to 255 characters), an end control character and a checksum
(LRC). The following shows the transmission frame when the message transmission character string
is C

"@" is used as a network frame ID character.
"Stx" is a start character of each transmission block, and "Etb" is an end character of the transmission
block of a message of 255 characters.
"Etx" is used as an end character of the final transmission block (end character of the transmission
frame).
