5.13 Network Control of SCSI Switch (Optional)
The 4 x 2 SCSI Matrix Switch may be controlled over a TCP/IP network using the
optional LAN port.

ONFIGURATION
If the SCSI Switch is equipped with the optional LAN port, you can remotely
control the SCSI Switch via a standard 10-Mbps Ethernet connection running
TCP/IP. The RS-232 COM2 port (which is used for daisy chaining SCSI Switches)
has been disabled (it is being used internally by the LAN card). If you wish to daisy
chain SCSI Switches you’ll need to disable the LAN port and enable the COM2
port. To do this, you’ll need to configure jumper block E15 and E16 as shown in
Figure 5-9
(RS-232 ENABLED) and remove the ribbon cable from J14 (see
Figure
5-10
) as shown in following configurations.

TILITY
The cfgswitch.exe utility is used to configure the TCP/IP address. This utility is
provided on the included disk. You can re-configure the IP address by using the IP
Configuration Utility. Run cfgswitch.exe from the diskette provided with your 4 x 2
SCSI Matrix Switch. A “Configure Black Box Network Switch” window will appear.
Enter the new IP address and switch MAC address in the appropriate fields. The
MAC address can be found on a label located on the bottom of the Switch. You can
search for the IP address by clicking the search button in the “Configure Black Box
Network Switch.” This will bring up a “Search For Black Box Network Switches”
window. Enter a beginning IP address, an ending IP address, and click Search.
