4 X 2 SCSI MATRIX SWITCH
2. Introduction
2.1 About the SCSI Switch
The 4 x 2 SCSI Matrix Switch is a high-performance electronic crosspoint switch
for use with the SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) bus. It enables four
independent SCSI buses to be selected and electrically connected in any
combination via internal electronic switching circuits. The 4 x 2 SCSI Matrix
Switch eliminates the need to swap and reconfigure SCSI cables and bus
terminators when alternate system configurations are required.
In conjunction with the 4 x 2 SCSI Switch dual RS-232 serial interface, a Graphic
User Interface (GUI) allows the system administrator to remotely operate and
control SCSI port configuration and termination, report SCSI bus activity, gather
performance statistics, and set internal temperature points for alarm notification.
Standard DOS or modem software can also be used to control the switch using
simple ASCII control commands.
Up to 32 SCSI Switches can be connected together and controlled by one serial
port.
