The PING command “pings” all of the devices on the ASPI Bus to find out what is
connected to it. Each device will respond with a PONG message, which contains its
device type and device ID. This lets you know how many of each type of device are
connected, and what device ID they have.
Generally, the PING command should be used with asterisks to query all devices, or
devices of a certain type. For example, ***PING queries all devices on the bus,
while C**PING queries all EF1210s on the bus.
Remote Commands
The following command can be sent by the remote control device to find out what
devices are connected to the ASPI Bus.
EF1210 Messages
The EF1210 never sends a PING message, but will send a PONG message in response
to one (see PONG).
Example
In the following example, the remote control device requests a PONG message from
all EF1210s on the ASPI Bus. Two EF1210s respond.
