Notation for Messages
Line Sp acing. 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 not ation fo llo ws an input p ar ame ter (o ne tha t passes data
to the called procedure); the !o notation follows an output parameter (one that returns
data to the calling program). For example:
[ ] Brackets. Brackets enclose items that are sometimes, but not always, displayed. For
example:
Event number = number [ Subject = first-subject-value ]
A group of items enclosed in brackets is a list of all possible items that can be
displayed, of which one or none might actually be displayed. The items in the list can
be arranged either vertically, with aligned brackets on each side of the list, or
horizontally, enclosed in a pair of brackets and separated by vertical lines. For
example:
proc-name trapped [ in SQL | in SQL file system ]
{ } Braces. A group of items enclosed in braces is a list of all possible items that can be
displayed, of which one is actually displayed. The items in the list can be arranged
either vertically, with aligned braces on each side of the list, or horizontally, enclosed in
a pair of braces and separated by vertical lines. For example:

Troubleshooting the Fibre Channel
to SCSI Router
This section includes:
Visual Inspection5-1
Te chnical Support5-1
Indicators5-2
This section guides the user through some of the basic methods of identifying faults in
the setup and configuration of the unit.
Most problems occur in the initial installation. In general, it is wise to check all
connections and review the configuration before proceeding with further trouble
analysis. Simplify the inst allation i f possible, redu cing it to the most basic configu ration .
Then add elements one at a time and verify the operation at each step.
Visual Inspection
To assure that the installation of the Fibre Channel to SCSI router has been
completed correctly:
1.Check that all devices are powered up.
2.Check that all cords are plugged in tightly, and there are no bent pins.
3.Check the LEDs. No amber lights should be illuminated.
4.Check the fiber cables to ensure the connectors are properly installed
between the Fibre Channel to SCSI router and the server.
5.Check that each device has the correct SCSI ID.
Technical Support
If the Fibre Channel to SCSI router is not functioning properly, contact your
service provider.

Indicators
Ethernet Activity
Ethernet Link Status
Fibre Channel Activity
The Fibre Channel to SCSI router has these LEDs:
Power and Fault (Pwr)—This indicator is a bicolor LED. When green, this indicator
•
shows that power is currently active. Lack of power indication suggests that the
unit is turned off, a problem occurred with the power supplied to the unit, or an
internal problem occurred with the unit. This indicator is amber when the Fibre
Channel to SCSI router detects a fault condition. Faults can occur as a result of
Power On Self Test (POST) failure or operational failures. It is normal for this
indicator to flash on when the unit is power ed up or rese t. If the fault i ndicator sta ys
lit, contact your service provider.

BUsing 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 emulato r. The baud rate, d at a bi t s, stop bit s , p ar ity, and flow contr ol of bot h 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 confi gures 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 unt il both the POS T and the Firmw are Initializat ion processes have complet ed
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
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.
Setting Up Serial Port Communications
4.Set the terminal emulator to use the appropriate COM port.
Note. Auto Det ec t or VT 100 are th e rec ommende d s et t ings for Window s H y per Termina l
emulat ion type.
5.Specify these settings for the port:
Baud rate:9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200
(Autobaud recognizes only these baud rates.)
Data bits:8
Stop bits:1
Parity:None
Flow control:None or XON/XOFF
Note. Before initially powering on the Fibre Channel to SCSI router, check that all the
Fibre Ch annel and SCSI devices are powered on first and th at th ey have finished
performing their self tests. This approach helps ensure that device discovery works
correctly.

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:
Ethernet Configuration
1.Select X Return to previ ous menu.
2.Select A Save Configuration.
3.Select X Return to previ ous 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 st andar d for DHCP requires that the rout er wait thre e 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.
