Set Identification: This setting enables you to specify the response of the
Module’s robotics to the SCSI Inquiry command in the Vendor ID and the
Product ID fields. The defaults are: Vendor ID = DEC; Product ID TL800.
Set Date: Enables you to set the system’s calendar.
Set Time: Enables you to set the system’s clock.
Set Baud Rate: Enables you to set the data transmission rate of the Expansion
Unit’s trace port. This function is intended for use by Customer Engineers
only. The default is 38400 bits/sec.
Set Serial number: This setting enables you to alter the Expansion Unit’s
serial number as stored in the unit. The Module’s robotics reports these
settings in response to the SCSI Inquiry command, in the Unit Serial Number
Page.
Set Unload Mode: This setting determines whether a SCSI Move Medium
command is interpreted as implicit or explicit. If implicit, the Expansion
unloads a drive before attempting to move a cartridge from that drive. If
explicit, the host must issue a SCSI Unload command to the drive before each
Move Medium command from a drive to a slot. The default is Implicit.
Set Auto Clean Mode: This function, when enabled, will sense the tape
drive’s cleaning request and after the next unload, load a Cleaning Cartridge
into the drive. After cleaning is complete, the cartridge is returned to slot. The
default is disabled.
NOTE:
This function is application dependent.
Set Negotiation Mode: This option offers two choices: Initiate Negotiation
and Set Transfer Rate. Initiate Negotiation, if set, allows the system to initiate
SCSI Synchronous Negotiation with the host (the default is No). The
Expansion always responds to host-initiated negotiation. Set Transfer Rate can
be set to 10 Mbytes/sec, 5 Mbytes/sec or Asynchronous. The default is 10
Mbytes/sec.
Set Mail Slot: Some of the available host software enables the system
administrator to limit access to the library as a whole while permitting
insertion into or removal from the library of one or more tape cartridges when
needed. This feature is commonly called a mail slot. It is implemented using
SCSI Import/Export elements.
