2.2.3 SCSI-FC Router Modes (SW2)
The DIP switches on SW2 are used to set the operating mode of the SCSI-FC Router. The following
differences exist between the modes available to host routers and device routers:
• For normal operations, host routers should be set to ‘host’ mode, whereas device routers must
be set to the mode that corresponds to the type of device(s) they are attached to (e.g. UW
Disk Mode).
• Only host routers can be set to use the ‘connection check’, ‘device check’ or ‘clear mapping
table’ modes.
• Either type of router can be set to ‘microcode revision’ mode.
Note: The SCSI-FC Router’s power must be cycled to effect a change in mode.
Table 2-1 illustrates the modes that are available for host routers and device routers and the specific
switch setting that activates each mode.

Table 2-1. DIP Switch Settings for Mode Selection
2.2.3.1 SCSI-FC Router
Host Mode
This is the normal operating mode of the host SCSI-FC Router. Two host routers cannot exist
simultaneously on the same serial loop.
2.2.3.2 Microcode Revision Mode
In this mode, the SCSI-FC Router microcode revision level will be presented as a status code on
the Status LED. The microcode revision is a three-digit number. A decimal separates the first digit
from the second. Example: Revision number 7.60
To run the Microcode Revision mode follow the steps below:
1. Power off the SCSI-FC Router.
2. Set the DIP switches on SW2 to activate ‘microcode revision’ mode. Be aware that host
routers and device routers do not share the same setting for this mode (please consult
Table 2-1).
3. Power on the SCSI-FC Router.
