See the device menu Change Device Mode or State command,

Mode or State

on page 20, for more information.

P – Send a Service Pin Message

Use this command to send a service pin message using the NodeUtil network

interface.

Q – Quickly Add Device to List

Use this command to add a device to the NodeUtil device list without attempting
to communicate with the device.
Use this command in environments that have a large number of devices that you

manage with NodeUtil scripts (see

Using a Script File with NodeUtil

on page 25).

The script can add the devices in the same order (so that they have the same

device ID for each run of the script, thus aiding network testing). Also, for power
line channels, adding many devices without the extra communications can be

useful.

R – Reboot 3150 Device

Use this command to restore the contents of the on-chip EEPROM memory of an
FT 3150 or PL 3150 Smart Transceiver to the state it had when the off-chip

EEPROM was first installed.
This command restores the communications parameters, device state, buffer
configuration, and on-chip EEPROM variables. It also re-initializes the domain,

address, and network variable configuration tables. If the device was previously

installed in a network, the reboot command removes it from the network.

This command does not operate on a FT 3120 or PL 3120 Smart Transceiver, an

FTXL 3190 Transceiver, or a Series 5000 device.
You can use the (R)eboot 3150 device command on the network interface used to
run NodeUtil, if it uses a FT 3150 or PL 3150 Smart Transceiver. In this case,

the network interface is reconfigured after the reboot completes, so that it can
continue to be used.

S – Report Device Status and Statistics

Use this command to send a message to query the status of a specific device, and

display the results. When you run this command from the main menu, you are
prompted to enter a device ID.
See the device menu Report Device Status and Statistics command,

S – Report

Device Status and Statistics

on page 20, for more information.

T – Transceiver Parameters

Use this command to display the transceiver ID of the network interface, and to

set the transceiver ID for network interfaces that have software-configurable

transceiver IDs. For all network interfaces, this command also allows you to
change the transceiver parameters for the network interface.
