the AT command line interface. 
  The message is terminated when a carriage return is entered. 
Alternatively, the text message may be entered separately: 
  Upon entering the command “AT+SBDWT”, the ISU will indicate to the FA that it is prepared 
to receive the message by sending the string “READY<CR><LF>” (hex 52 45 41 44 59 0D 
0A) to the FA. 
  Once the FA receives the READY indication, the text message must be sent, terminated by a 
carriage return. 
  The length of the text message entered in this way is limited only by the maximum mobile-
originated message length of 1960 bytes. 
  The mobile originated buffer will be empty upon power-up. 
  If any data is currently in the mobile originated buffer, it will be overwritten. 
Command Response:
