5.11 Network Control of SCSI Switch
The 2 x 2 SCSI Matrix Switch may be controlled over a TCP/IP network through
its LAN port.

ONFIGURATION
You can remotely control the SCSI Switch through a standard 10-Mbps Ethernet
connection running TCP/IP. In the SCSI Switch’s factory-default setting, the LAN
port will be enabled and the RS-232 COM2 port (which shares the same circuitry
and is most often used for daisychaining SCSI Switches) will be disabled. If you
want to daisychain SCSI Switches, you will need to disable the LAN port and enable
the COM2 port. To do this, scroll through the control menus in the switch’s front-
panel LCD (see
Section 4.3
) until you reach the SET SERIAL PORTS menu. Move
the cursor to the DAISY CHAIN option and press ENTER on the switch’s keypad to
change the setting from N to Y.
