Note: Checksum is calculated by adding each byte in the message (including all characters from
up to and including the error log/reason indicator), such that carries are discarded to give a one byte
result. The ASCII-coded decimal representation of that byte is given, ranging from 0 (0x30, 0x30, 0x30)
to 255 (0x32, 0x35, 0x35).
