CONTROL SOFTWARE FOR SCSI EXTENDER AND SWITCHES
Self Test will temporarily switch from FIBER to COAX. Since the link is currently
active, this may cause your system to crash. The Self Test uses the Coax interface
for testing the unit. This requires the unit to switch from the Fiber interface while
the test is completing. This message only appears if Fiber is the selected interface
and the Link Active light is lit. Selecting Yes will continue with the test and will
change the interface to Coax, interrupting any communication on the SCSI bus.
Common reason for the message: You have clicked the Self Test button while the Link
Active light is on and the interface for communication is currently Fiber.
Switching from FIBER to COAX while the link is active may cause your system to
crash. This message will only appear when using Extenders if the Link Active light
is on. Switching from one interface to the other while the link is active will disrupt
any activity across the SCSI bus. You may need to reboot the system to target the
devices after the change completes.
Common reason for the message. You have clicked the COAX or FIBER button on the
main screen.
This is an off-line session. Link Test will be simulated…
This message will only
appear when using the software in an offline session attached to an Extender. The
software will simulate the test. In this mode, the test results will always be successful.
This is usually used to become familiar with the software without having an actual
Extender connected.
Common reason for the message: During an offline session, you have clicked the Link
Test button on the main screen.

This message will only
appear when using the software in an offline session when attached to an
Extender. The software will simulate the test. In this mode, the test results will
always be successful. This is usually used to become familiar with the software

Sorry—you must be online to log errors.
This message appears when clicking the
Start Error Logging button in an offline session. Error logging only operates when
the software is actively connected to an Extender in an online mode.
