Description
PPL Protocol Query 0x00DF
This message initiates a report from the CSP on the custom protocols (non-default) that have been downloaded to a PPL component. There are two methods.
The first indicates every table downloaded to a particular PPL component and its associated protocols, if any. This is Sent by setting the Entity field to 0x00 (All Tables).
The second indicates the name of a particular entity (table or protocol). This is initiated by setting the Entity field to either 0x01 (Primitive Table), 0x02 (State/Event Table), or 0x03 (Protocol), and specifying the ID in the Entity ID field.

Examples
Assumptions
• Component: 0x12
• Downloaded Protocols
02 cpc_CPG_T7
• Primitive Tables
02 isup_cpc_itu_ppl_pr
• State Event Tables
02 isup_cpc_itu_ppl_st
Query All Tables
Message
To query all tables, you would send the message as shown below, with the following values:
• Component ID: 00 12
• Entity: All Tables (00)
• Entity ID: 00
H->X
[00 09 00 df 00 00 ff 00 12 00 00]
Response
The CSP returns the following bytes indicating that component 12 has 2 tables:
• Primitive Table 02 (Protocol 2)
• State Event Table 02 (Protocol 2)
X->H
[00 12 00 df 00 00 01 00 10 00 12 00 00 02 01 02 02 02 02 02]
Query Primitive Table
Message
To retrieve the name of Primitive Table 2, you would send the following bytes:
• Entity 01 (Primitive Table)
• Entity ID 02
H->X
[00 09 00 df 00 00 ff 00 12 01 02]
Response
The CSP responds with a string of ASCII characters indicating the protocol name: isup_cpc_itu_ppl_pr
X->H
[00 1f 00 df 00 00 01 00 10 00 12 01 02 69 73 75 70 5f 63 70 63 5f 69 74 75 5f 70 70 6c 5f 70 72 00]
Query Entities 0x02 (State/Event Table), 0x03 (Protocol), and 0x07 (Extended State/Event Table) would return similar results.
