4.2 TE-TA interface commands
4.2.1 Escape code character used to switch from Online Data state to
Online Command state: S2
Description and Operation
S2 register defines the character used to build the escape sequence to exit from online data state and return to command
state or online command state. The escape sequence is built by repeating three time the escape character defines by the
S2 register (e.g. if the escape character is '+ ', the escape sequence will be "+++").
The escape character code shall be comprise between 0 and 127. Values from 128 to 255 are reserved to disable the
escape sequence mechanism.
Define value:
S2=0.127 Define the escape character code
S2=128.255 Disable the escape sequence mechanism

The default value for operation on Railways shall be set to S2=128. (Escape sequence mechanism is disabled).
Implementation
Mandatory.
4.2.2 Command line termination character: S3
Description and Operation
Clause 6.2.1 of Recommendation ITU-T V.250 [2] shall apply.
The default value for operation on Railways shall be set to S3=13 (Carriage return).

Mandatory.
4.2.3 Response formatting character: S4
Description and Operation
Clause 6.2.2 of Recommendation ITU-T V.250 [2] shall apply.
The default value for operation on Railways shall be set to S4=10 (Line feed).
Implementation
Mandatory.
4.2.4 Command echo: E
Description and Operation
Clause 6.2.4 of Recommendation ITU-T V.250 [2] shall apply.
The default value for operation on Railways shall be set to E1 (Echo enabled).
