Note
The DUP driver examples throughout this appendix are for RF-series
ISEs. The displays for the TF-series tape drive differ slightly from the
RF-series displays.
C.3.1 Entering the DUP Driver Utility
To examine and change DSSI parameters, you must first activate the DUP
driver utility by setting host to the specific device for which you want to modify
or examine parameters.
Use the following command for embedded DSSI.
>>>SET HOST/DUP/DSSI (<node_number>) PARAMS
where (<node_number>) is the bus node ID (0–6) for the device on the bus.
In the following example,
SET HOST/DUP/DSSI 0 PARAMS
is entered to start the
DUP driver for the ISE at node 0 of embedded DSSI bus 1.
>>>SET HOST/DUP/DSSI 0 PARAMS
