supports both Line Feed and Carriage Return 0A (LF) and 0D (CR) codes.
The Command String must be bracketed with the < CommandString > </ CommandString > tags.
NOTE: Any of the MS9400 Remote Control Protocol commands may be used in the Command String code line.
For example:
<CommandString>Load Playlist 1 “playlistname”</CommandString>.
Refer to the ‘Chapter 6: Remote Control Protocols’ for a list of supported commands.
