CONTROL SOFTWARE FOR SCSI EXTENDER AND SWITCHES

4.2 Scanning for Devices

Upon initial startup, the software will prompt you with the following message:

Figure 4-2. Software prompt upon initial startup.

• Auto-detect on-line devices: The software will scan the RS-232 serial port and

try to find active devices. This is the normal operation when a hardware device

is connected through the RS-232 port. If a device is found, the software will

begin operating in an active, online mode.

• Work offline: This selection lets you operate the software and view its features

without having a device actively connected to the RS-232 serial port. This

selection will create an offline session within the software.
