CHAPTER 7: SCSI Fiber Optic Extender Control: Online
In this screen, if “Connect via RS-232 Serial Port” is selected, Port defines
which port on the PC or workstation is connected to the RS-232 serial port,
while Baud Rate defines the baud rate (in bps) for communicating between
the PC or workstation and the Switch. Changes made will immediately affect
the communication with the active device. For a description of the Assign IP
Address... feature, see Section 9.2.
• Event Notification: Gives you the opportunity to define how the Extender
notifies you of problems that might affect it. When you select this option, a
screen appears with checkboxes you can use to turn on or off the display of
messages advising you of:

– when the temperature limit is exceeded,
– when the power supply fails,
– serial port comm warnings, or
– serial/LAN port communication failures.
