APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ASSIGNING ADDRESS TO SCSI SUPPORTED PERIPHERAL DEVICES
摘要
Apparatus for assigning addresses to devices connected to an SCSI bus. A second configure bus interconnects address assignable devices on the SCSI bus. The assignable devices may be used in a mixed system where some devices have fixed non-assignable addresses. The master device in the SCSI bus transmits configuration commands over the configuration bus and addresses for assignment over the SCSI bus. Acknowledgements are received back from a device which has accepted an address. Once configured with an address, the device propagates subsequent configuration commands to an adjacent device.
