Notes

• Carriage return handling: some programs need , \r, or 0D appended; commands are sent verbatim (e.g. OUT01ON).
• Spaces optional: commands work without spaces unless program requires them (e.g. OUT{Space}01{Space}ON).
• IP control: default 192.168.0.200; DHCP on by default, reverts to 192.168.0.200 if no DHCP server.
