POWER UP CLEAR (Command 'A')
Purpose: This command has no internal module affect. It is used as a simple
method to verify proper communications to the 9816 scanner.
Command
A
‘A’ is the command letter
Response
A
‘A’ is the acknowledge letter
Description: The Ethernet Model 9816 does not return a ‘Power-Up Clear Expected’ error (as
did early 901x modules without Ethernet interface). This is due to the reset
notification mechanisms that are part of the TCP/IP protocol. It is generally used
as a simple ‘NOP’ mechanism to verify proper communications with a module.
Example:
Send TCP/IP command to Model 9816 module
(via its open socket) to acknowledge
module power on:
"A"
Read following response:
"A"
