Mode Select Command (Host Initiated)

Note
D-4
The Host Interface mode is selectable by using either the diagnostic software,
control panel or a host initiated Mode Select command. The default Host
Interface mode is Standard Interface Mode, as documented in the preceding
sections of this manual. The Host Interface mode, if saved in the library's
NVRAM, is retained when the library power is cycled.
Setting the Host Interface mode using the Diagnostic Software (version 3.03
or later) requires the user to select a command from the "Exabyte" Option of
the "Config" Menu. The mode is permanently saved to the library NVRAM.
To enable Exabyte Emulation Mode, select "ENABLE."
To set Standard Interface Mode, select "DISABLE."
To set the Host Interface using the Control Panel select "Emulate Exabyte"
from the "Configuration" Menu, then issue an "Enable" or "Disable" as
appropriate. The mode will be permanently saved to the library NVRAM.
To enable Exabyte Emulation Mode, select "ENABLE."
To set Standard Interface Mode, select "DISABLE."
The Host Interface mode may be set in Vendor Unique Page 00h. The mode
can be permanently saved in library NVRAM by setting the Save Page bit.
A SCSI bus reset will not change the Exabyte Emulation mode.
To enable Exabyte Emulation Mode, the host must set bit number 0 in the
second parameter byte (byte 3 of the Vendor Unique Page 00h).
To enable Standard Interface Mode, the host must clear bit number 0 in the
second parameter byte (byte 3 of the Vendor Unique Page 00h).
