Purpose: 

To determine how many (and which) modules are powered-up and operational  

  on 

the 

network. 

 

“psi9000" 

“ipadr, ethadr, sernum, mtype, sfwver, connst, ipadrst, lisport, 
subnet, iparpst, udpast, pwrst,” 

 

 

Description:  When a module receives this broadcast command (by continuously monitoring  
 

 

port 7000) it responds with a broadcast (on port 7001) with an ASCII response  

 

 

containing comma-separated parameters. These are listed in the following table

: 

 
 

IP address 

Ethernet address 

Serial number 

Module type (e.g., Model 9116) 

Software version (e.g., x.xx decimal format) 

Connection status (1=connected, 0=available) 

IP address status (1=has one, 0=waiting for server) 

IP listening port for connections (default=9000) 

Subnet mask 

IP address resolution status (1=uses RARP/BOOTP server, 0=uses 
static IP address stored internally) 

UDP auto status (1=broadcasts this response automatically after 
connection possible, 0=only sends response for “psi9000" UDP/IP 
command. 

Power-up status (same as a ‘q02' command response) 

 
Some special rack-mounted module types (e.g., 9816) also add rack, cluster, and slot 
parameters to the response above.  These additional parameters are added following the 
‘pwrst’ parameter.
