18 Configuring the Fibre Channel Subsystem
Configuring Your Communications Terminal
The fibre channel subsystem of your Scalar 218FC includes an embedded high-performance 32-bit
microprocessor with its own firmware located in Flash EEPROM. The Configuration Program, part of this
firmware, allows you to configure the subsystem, monitor subsystem diagnostic results, and download new
subsystem firmware. For information on configuring the robotics subsystem of your Scalar 218FC, refer to
section titled:
Off-Line Mode Menus in Chapter 4 Equipment Description .
This manual and the Configuration Program make references to the “FCR 100” in discussions on fibre
channel configuration, monitoring of diagnostic results, and firmware downloading procedures. In these
instances, “Scalar 218FC fibre channel subsystem” and “FCR 100” are interchangeable.
To configure the fibre channel subsystem of your Scalar 218FC, to monitor diagnostic results or to download
new subsystem firmware, you need to use a host computer application that supports the X-modem data
transfer protocol. The following example uses the HyperTerminal application included in Windows NT 4.0.
Other applications may use different procedures and com ports, but notice that the baud rate, number of data
bits, number of stop bits, whether parity is enabled and what type of flow control to use must be set for your
serial communications port as given in this example.
