preceded by a carriage return character (<CR>) and line feed character (<LF>) and then followed by a
carriage return character (<CR>) and line feed character (<LF>), as shown in the example below. Refer
to an ASCIItable for more information about character codes if needed.

Commands and responses
To access display information or to adjust display settings using the room control system, send a
command after the command prompt (>), send a carriage return character or press ENTER, and then
wait for the response from the display. Responses are preceded by a carriage return character (<CR>)
and line feed character (<LF>) and then followed by a carriage return character (<CR>) and line feed
character (<LF>). If no command prompt is present, send a carriage return character to thedisplay. If
the display is ready to receive commands, it will show a command prompt (>) when the carriage return
is received. See the example below.
