Free Buffer Enquiries
A Free Buffer Enquiry is used to ask another node
if it is able to accept a packet of data. It is sent by
the following sequence:
⢠An ALERT BURST
⢠An ENQ (ENQuiry: ASCII code 85H)
⢠Two (repeated) DID (Destination ID)
characters

Data Packets
A Data Packet consists of the actual data being
sent to another node. It is sent by the following
sequence:
⢠An ALERT BURST
⢠An SOH (Start Of Header--ASCII code 01H)
⢠An SID (Source ID) character
⢠Two (repeated) DID (Destination ID)
characters
⢠A single COUNT character which is the 2's
complement of the number of data bytes to
follow if a short packet is sent, or 00H
followed by a COUNT character if a long
packet is sent.
⢠N data bytes where COUNT = 256-N (or 512-
N for a long packet)
⢠Two CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check)
characters. The CRC polynomial used is:
X16 + X15 + X2 + 1.
