WRITEREAD Operation
WRITEREAD Operation 
The normal WRITEREAD operation acts as if a WRITE were followed immediately by 
a READ. Figure 3-9
 shows the action of the local station in response to line conditions 
on a multileaving conversational WRITEREAD.
Note. The SWIFT protocol has a fixed value for retry count of 30 for the WACK ENQ 
sequence.
