CHAPTER 5: Configuration and Operation

5.5 Serial-Port Pinout

The 6 x 4 Electronic SCSI Switch has two RS-232 serial ports, using female DB9 connectors, which allow external control of the switch. The connectors are compatible with standard RS-232 modem cables. The serial ports can be configured to operate separate communications ports or as daisychained ports.

Daisychained mode allows one computer or terminal to communicate with multiple 6 x 4 Electronic SCSI Switches.
