Command Format: [RSI]
Example:
Send the command [RSI] to the system with
Unit ID 0. The card in slot 1 will have ID 1, the
card in slot 2 will have ID 2, and so on. If the
card in slot 1 is then moved to slot 4, the card ID
will then be 4.
19.
[SIDn]
This command sets all the cards installed in the
MultiTasker system to the same card ID. After
sending this command, all cards will be
addressed with the same ID. Use caution when
sending this command to a system with multiple
board types.
Command Format: [SIDn]
n
= Card ID (n = # from 1 to 99)
Example:
Send the command [SID1] to the system. All the
cards in the system now have ID 1. Any
commands that are sent to card ID 1 will be
received and executed by each card.
20.
[SIDnCi]
This command sets the card ID of a single card
to a number from 1 to 99.
Command Format: [SIDnCi]
n
= Card ID (n = # from 1 to 99)
Ci
= Slot Number (i = # from 1 to max slots)
Example:
Send the command [SID50C10] to set the ID of
the card in slot 10 to an ID of 50.
21.
[SID+]
This command sets the card ID of all cards in a
system to their slot number plus the offset value.
Command Format: [SID+n]
n
= Offset amount (n = # from 0 to 99)
The maximum card ID is 99, so subtract
the highest slot number from 99 to find
the maximum offset. For example, in an
8-slot enclosure, the maximum offset
would be 91. The slot number (8) plus the
offset (91) equals 99.
Example:
There are two 20-slot enclosures to be
connected together during normal operation.
The first unit will use the default IDs where the
card ID is equal to the slot number. The second
unit will have the same unit ID, but each card ID
will be offset by 20.
Connect the computer to the second unit only
and send the command [SID+20] to set the ID of
all the cards in the second enclosure to their slot
number plus 20. Reconnect both units to the
computer.
The cards in the first unit will be referenced as
card IDs 1-20 and the cards in the second unit
will be referenced by card IDs 21-40.
22.
[RSN]
This command displays the slot number of a
card with a specified ID number. If more than
one card has the same ID, each will display.
Command Format: [RSNCi]
Ci
= Card ID (i = # from 1 to 99)
Example:
The card in slot 4 takes up four slots in the
enclosure. Its ID was set to 1 since it is the first
card installed in the system, reading from left to
right. Send the command [RSNC1] to find the
slot number of this card. The system responds
with the following feedback:
[4]
