Scalar AIT 440/480
Note:
Control mode settings remain in effect through power cycles.
SCSI Interface mode
In SCSI Interface mode, your application software controls the motion
of the CHM by issuing SCSI commands across the SCSI bus attached
to the library.
Note:
The application software can issue commands to the library
regardless of the control mode. However, the library must be in
SCSI Interface mode for the software to control the motion of
the CHM.
LCD Interface mode
When the library is operating in LCD Interface mode, you can control
the motions of the CHM from the operator panel.
Note:
You can use many operator panel features without changing to
LCD Interface mode. LCD Interface mode is required only when
you want to control the motions of the CHM from the operator
panel.
9-Pin and 25-Pin Port modes or
25/9 Pin mode
When the library is operating in 9-Pin or 25-Pin Port mode (narrow
libraries only) or in 25/9 Pin mode (wide libraries only), you can control
the motions of the CHM from a remote console program connected to
the library's 9-pin or 25-pin port.
Note:
Use the 9-Pin, 25-Pin, or 25/9 Pin mode to control CHM motion
only. You do not need to change the control mode to access a
tape drive's serial port.
