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 to D or 1 to 6). 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 A1 and B2 and disconnects ports B1 and A2. 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.
