CHAPTER 9: Configuring the LAN Port
9. Configuring the LAN Port
9.1 LAN Port
The SCSI Switch may be controlled over a TCP/IP network through its LAN port.
You can remotely control the SCSI Switch via a standard 10-Mbps Ethernet
connection running TCP/IP. In the SCSI Switches’ factory-default setting, the LAN
port will be enabled and the RS-232 COM2 port (which uses the same circuitry and
is used for daisychaining SCSI Switches) will be disabled. If you wish to daisychain
SCSI switches, you will need to disable the LAN port and enable the COM2 port.
Refer to your SCSI Switch’s manual for instructions about how to do this.
9.2 Assign LAN Port IP Address
To assign the LAN IP address, select Communications from the Control Software’s
Settings menu. This screen will appear:
Figure 9-1. Serial Port & LAN Configuration screen.
Select Assign IP Address to Network SCSI Switch. This opens the Configure
Network Switch screen which executes the Apconcfg Utility.
