DIP

DIP is the protocol used between Stentofon IP stations and AlphaCom E exchanges. It is used for all data-communication with the IP stations, such as call control, LED settings and display text to the station, and keypresses and inputs from the station.

DIP is short for "Display-data over IP", and refers to the ASLT display data protocol. This protocol was based on 9600 baud one-way transmission while DIP is transmitted both ways over IP (TCP and UPD).

The commands are written as human readable text. Text string values are sometimes enclosed by quotes "". Number values are usually in hex format.
