The server sends Packets 0x02 and 0x17 to non-Blue Burst clients to verify that a server is in place where the client is connecting, as well as to communicate the encryption vectors that will be in use for the rest of the connection. For PSO Blue Burst, Packet 0x03 is used for this purpose.

Packet 0x02 is used for ship/block ports, and 0x17 is used for the login server.

Sending an 0x17 to a GameCube client will cause it to reply with an 0xDB, but only for the first 0x17 received in the client's session.
