PCONCMD
U
TILITY
The apconcmd.exe utility enables the user to set switch parameters through the
LAN port. This utility is located on the CD-ROM provided with your SCSI Switch.
To change switch settings and termination for an SCSI Switch, run (at a DOS
prompt) APCONCMD.EXE from the CD-ROM.
Usage:
apconcmd [/?] [/i<IP address>] [/c<COM port>] [/b<baud rate>]
[/n<Switch number>] [/h<holdoff>] [/x] [/t<termination>]
[/s<Switch settings>] [/w<command>] [/r<command>]
Where:
/? = this message.
/i <IP address> = The IP address of the network-enabled SCSI Switch.
/c <COM port> = The number of the COM port to address (1 to 8; default = 1).
/b <baud rate> = The baud rate of the COM port (2400, 9600, or 19200 [bps];
default = 9600).
/n <Switch number> = The number of the SCSI Switch to change (1 to 32;
default = 1).
/h <holdoff> = SCSI-bus holdoff, in seconds. The SCSI Switch will not change
the switch settings on a bus until there has been no activity for the specified
number of seconds. Valid range is 0 to 25 seconds.
/x = Ignore SCSI-bus activity. Switch settings will be changed immediately.
/t <termination> = Termination can be turned on (“N”) or off (“F”) for each
port (A, B, 1, or 2). For example, “A2NB1F” activates termination for ports A
and 2, and it deactivates termination on ports B and 1. Termination on any of
the switch’s ports that aren’t specified in the command will not be affected.
/s<Switch settings> = The settings to be changed. For example, “A1B2NB1A2F”
connects ports A and 1 and B and 2 and disconnects ports B from 1 and A
from 2. Switch settings on any of the switch’s ports that aren’t specified in the
command will not be affected.
/w<command> = <command> is sent to the switch with no parsing. Any
response from the switch is ignored.
/r<command> = <command> is sent to the switch with no parsing. Any response
from the switch is displayed on the console’s error output.
