Notation for Messages
Line Spacing. If the syntax of a command is too long to fit on a single line, each
continuation line is indented three spaces and is separated from the preceding line by
a blank line. This spacing distinguishes items in a continuation line from items in a
vertical list of selections. For example:
ALTER [ / OUT file-spec / ] LINE
[ , attribute-spec ]…
!i and !o. In procedure calls, the !i notation follows an input parameter (one that passes data
to the called procedure); the !o notation follows an output parameter (one that returns
data to the calling program). For example:
CALL CHECKRESIZESEGMENT ( segment-id
, error
!i
!o
) ;
!i,o. In procedure calls, the !i,o notation follows an input/output parameter (one that both
passes data to the called procedure and returns data to the calling program). For
example:
error := COMPRESSEDIT ( filenum ) ;
!i,o
!i:i. In procedure calls, the !i:i notation follows an input string parameter that has a
corresponding parameter specifying the length of the string in bytes. For example:
error := FILENAME_COMPARE_ ( filename1:length
, filename2:length ) ;
!i:i
!i:i
!o:i. In procedure calls, the !o:i notation follows an output buffer parameter that has a
corresponding input parameter specifying the maximum length of the output buffer in
bytes. For example:
error := FILE_GETINFO_ ( filenum
, [ filename:maxlen ] ) ;
!i
!o:i

B Using the Serial Interface
This section describes specific configuration options available for the serial interface.
The Fibre Channel to SCSI router allows the user to access Ethernet configuration
settings through the serial interface.
Serial Port Connection
The RJ-11 connector on the back panel of the Fibre Channel to SCSI router provides a
serial port that is compatible with RS-232 signaling levels. The Fibre Channel to SCSI
router is designed to communicate with a terminal or any operating system utilizing a
terminal emulator. The baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity, and flow control of both the
router and the host system must use the same settings. The autobaud feature
described in the next subsection provides an effective method to set the baud rate of
the router and host system.
Figure B-1. Fibre Channel to SCSI Router Serial Port
Serial Port
Autobaud Feature
The autobaud feature automatically configures the baud rate on the Fibre Channel to
SCSI router. Once you set the baud rate in the terminal emulator, wait until the Fibre
Channel to SCSI router completes the power-on self test (POST) and then the
Firmware Initialization process. This can take up to 90 seconds, during which time the
POST and initialization information might or might not be visible on the terminal or
terminal emulator. After this process has completed, press the Enter key slowly 7 or 8
times (or type shift-z) and the Fibre Channel to SCSI router automatically detects the
baud rate being used by the serial port. The baud rate is then saved in the Fibre
Channel to SCSI router’s configuration and is retained through future power cycles.
Note. Pressing the Enter key before the POST has completed is of no benefit to the autobaud
feature. Wait until both the POST and the Firmware Initialization processes have completed
before pressing the Enter key. This might take up to 90 seconds.
The baud rate used by the terminal or terminal emulator must be 9600, 19200, 38400,
57600, or 115200 for the autobaud feature to recognize it. The Fibre Channel to SCSI
router does not function properly at any other baud rate.

Using the Serial Interface
Setting Up Serial Port Communications
Setting Up Serial Port Communications
Leave the Fibre Channel to SCSI router turned off until you have set up the serial port
communications on your host computer unless serial I/O was previously established
and is currently running.
The Fibre Channel to SCSI router is designed to communicate with a terminal or any
operating system utilizing a terminal emulator. For example, Windows 9x, NT 4.0, or
2000 operating systems can use hyper terminal. Check that the baud rate, data bits,
stop bits, parity, and flow control are set correctly.
To set up serial communications with the Fibre Channel to SCSI router:
1. Leave power to the router turned off until you have set up the serial port
communications on your host terminal.
2. Plug the serial cable into one of the host computer’s serial ports (COM1 or COM2),
and then plug the other end of the serial cable into the router’s serial port.
3. Start the terminal emulator.
4. Set the terminal emulator to use the appropriate COM port.
Note. Auto Detect or VT100 are the recommended settings for Windows Hyper Terminal
emulation type.
5. Specify these settings for the port:
Baud rate:
9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200
(Autobaud recognizes only these baud rates.)
Data bits:
Stop bits:
Parity:
8
1
None
Flow control:
None or XON/XOFF
Note. Before initially powering on the Fibre Channel to SCSI router, check that all the
Fibre Channel and SCSI devices are powered on first and that they have finished
performing their self tests. This approach helps ensure that device discovery works
correctly.

Select 6 to change the hostname. This alphanumeric entry is one word up to eight
characters long.
•
Note. Do not use an uppercase Z as a part of the hostname as it is the autobaud hot key used
by the Microsoft Windows hyper terminal utility for serial connections.
Select 7 to toggle the DHCP setting. This setting enables and disables support for
the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. When enabled, the router retrieves a
dynamic IP address from a DHCP server located on the Ethernet network that the
Fibre Channel to SCSI router is connected to.
Once DHCP is enabled, save the current configuration and reboot the router
before an IP address can be requested from the DHCP server:
1. Select X Return to previous menu.
2. Select A Save Configuration.
3. Select X Return to previous menu.
4. Select 4 Reboot.
After the router reboots, the Main menu appears on the serial interface. For Telnet,
a new session needs to be opened to continue configuring the router. DHCP status
can be verified from the Ethernet Configuration Menu where DHCP Configuration
is indicated as Enabled if DHCP has been successfully activated. The IP address
might also appear different than the former non-DHCP IP address.
Note. To use the DHCP feature, a DHCP server must be operational on the Ethernet
network used by the Fibre Channel to SCSI router. If the DHCP feature is used when there
is no DHCP server, the standard for DHCP requires that the router wait three minutes for a
response from a DHCP server before timing out.
Your DHCP server might allow you to set up a lease reservation for an IP address
by providing the server with the Ethernet MAC address of the Fibre Channel to
SCSI router. This sets the DHCP server to always provide the same IP address to
the Fibre Channel to SCSI router. This setup can be useful for remote
management of the router via Telnet or Crossroads Visual Manager. Because the
method of setting up a lease reservation varies depending on the DHCP server
being used, you should contact your network administrator for assistance.
