Getting Status from the EnvisaLink?

I have successfully written a Socket Comm program to disarm my Alarm System, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get a Status report back from the EnvisaLink! :-(

I assume I need to send a message of the form ^CC,DATA$

I am currently getting Status by scraping the device web page but it is a bit of a pain, and I would rather be more direct, if possible.

I further assume that "DATA" is null { how expressed? as a blank after the comma or ,) }

What exactly is the syntax?

Status is asynchronous. You don't poll it, it just gets sent whenever the panel sends it. This is usually every few seconds on Vista 10,15,20 but could be 10+ on the larger panels.
