S SC150e HARDWARE REFERENCE
5.3 Initialization
The initialization of the S SC150e node from a cold boot is determined by
the settings of the EEPROM.
No fiber-optic cable connections are required to perform a read/write to the local host’s
S SC150e memory. When the control registers CSR0 and CSR2 are set to
zero the S SC150e memory is available for access. The memory address will
remain at ‘0’ and be disabled until programmed with the EEPROM Initialization (EPI)
Program.
NOTE
: All S SC150e nodes in the fiber-optic network ring must be
powered on unless they have Fiber Optic Bypass Switches or Quad Switches installed.
5.4 Basic Send/Receive Configuration
The following minimum configuration allows basic send and receive operation and is
accomplished without interrupts.
•
Set CSR0 to ‘0xF000’ to insert the node and initiate the reset of the FIFOs.
•
Set CSR0 to ‘0x8003’ to insert the node, toggle the reset of the FIFOs and enable
network activity.
•
Set CSR2 to ‘0xC040’ to disable the Fiber-optic Loopback mode.
•
Read CSR1 to read-out any latched error conditions.
•
Read CSR1 again to check for any existing error conditions.
•
Check for carrier-detect fail (this means there are fiber-optic cabling problems
from the transmitter of the node downstream).
•
Write a value to memory from at least one node. This enables all powered node
transmitters and check for fiber-optic ring integrity.
•
Read CSR1 to check for any error/status conditions.
5.5 Network Ring
Data is passed from one node to the next by fiber-optic or coaxial cable. Given a three-
node network configuration with nodes A, B and C, the following connections would be
made:
•
The transmitter pair from node A is connected by fiber-optic cable to the receiver
pair of the next node B.
•
The transmitter pair from node B is connected by fiber-optic cable to the receiver
pair of node C.
•
The transmitter pair of node C is then connected to the receiver pair of node A,
thus completing a fiber-optic network ring.
