Designating Host and
Diagnostic Workstations
You must provide the host and diagnostic workstations that communicate with the
library.
Host workstations communicate with the library using a SCSI interface and the
standard SCSI-2 command set. Diagnostic workstations communicate with the library
using special diagnostic software (located on the CD-ROM) and a low-speed
EIA/TIA-574 (RS-232 9-pin) serial interface.
NOTE:
Hosts without a direct SCSI interface require external communications bus converters.
