5.11.5 Write-Me-Last Mode
The Write-Me-Last mode of operation allows the originating node to be the last node in
the ring to have the data deposited to its memory. When the host performs a write to the
S SC150e shared-memory, it is not immediately written to the host memory,
but is first sent to the other S SC150e nodes on the network.
Set CSR2[8] and CSR2[9] to enable the Write-Me-Last mode. If desired, this mode can
also be used to generate interrupts to the originating node by setting CSR2[10] as well.
CSR2[8] is the Disable Host to Shared Memory Write.
5.12 Quad Switch
The Quad Switch is a switching center and is used to dynamically configure active
SCRAMNet
and S SC150e
ring(s).
The Quad Switch provides dynamic configuration of up to five separate rings. Each
separate ring is connected to a port on the Quad Switch. Refer to Figure 5-10. Each ring
can be isolated from the other rings or can be included with one or more of the other
attached rings.
There is a single logical ring internal to the Quad Switch. The Quad Switch has five
external ports, which allow access to this logical ring. Ports 1 through 4 are accessible on
the front of the Quad Switch cabinet. Port 5 access is at the rear of the cabinet.
All five ports have standard SCRAMNet
transmitters and receivers. Each port can
transmit data to and receive data from the internal ring.
The Quad Switch port will be switched into the ring if all its switching controls are
enabled (Include state). Any one of the switching controls can cause the port to be
switched out (Isolate state).
