The Generic device is a dummy device driver implementation which only supports low level commands to be sent to the device. It may be used with device for which no device driver is available up to now.
The Generic device driver prefers the Terminal-CR-CRLF-E protocol (Messages sent are terminated with CR, the protocol expects a an echo sent by the device prior to the reply. All reply are terminated by a CRLF pair). You may, however, use any text based protocol with this device driver.
