CHAPTER 13 RCI Setting

13.1 Overview

The remote cabinet interface (RCI) function turns on/off the power of the expansion unit along with the main unit. The RCI function also reports any error that occurring in an expansion unit to the main unit.

RCI displays the current node addresses, executes initialization, and requests the binding of a new node after hot system replacement. It supports the commands explained below.

13.2 RCI Commands

Overview The RCI command has a function that displays the RCI configuration information, sets the node address, and incorporates the node during hot system replacement.

The following table lists the RCI commands:

rci-config

This command displays RCI configuration information. Use

 

this command to check the host node address and references

 

node device names after the RCI setting.

 

 

rci-config n m

This command initializes RCI and sets an address for the

 

local host node. It does not connect the node. N is the

 

node address number and m is the number of hosts (n=m).

 

(Necessary command for initialization)

 

 

rci-configio-init

This command sets new addresses of all RCI nodes (host and

 

I/O) and connects them. I/O node addresses are reassigned,

 

starting with 1. Use this command in initial installation.

 

 

rci-configio

Use this command to add or remove a local node (I/O).

 

 

Notes

In initial installation, execute an rci-configcommand by specifying n=1 and

￿m=1. Then, execute an rci-configio-initcommand.

When adding a host node, set the mode switch on the panel of a connected host node to "MANUAL." This masks a failure report caused by the node expansion. Then, use the RCI cable to connect the expansion target host and turn on the host. Execute an rci-confign m command and an rci-configiocommand in the host. Set the mode switch to the original position when the connection is

￿complete.

When adding an I/O node, set the mode switch on the panel of a connected host node to "MANUAL." Use the RCI cable to connect the expansion target host and turn on the host again. Then, execute an rci-configiocommand when the ok prompt is displayed.
