The Interface Clear (IFC) signal is used by the System
Controller in order to initialize all device interfaces to a
known state.
The Remote Enable (REN) signal is used by the System
Controller. REN enables a device to go into remote mode
when addressed to listen. When in remote mode, a device will
ignore its local front-panel controls.
The Service Request (SRQ) line is like an interrupt: it may
be asserted by any device to request the Controller to take
some action. The Controller must determine which device
is asserting SRQ by conducting a serial poll. The requesting
device releases SRQ when it’s polled.
Recognize any of these situations?
• You wait more than 30 minutes to get through
to a vendor’s tech support.
• The so-called “tech” can’t help you or gives you
the wrong answer.
• You don’t have a purchase order number and the
tech refuses to help you.
• It’s 9 p. m. and you need help, but your vendor’s
tech support line is closed.
According to a survey by Data Communications
magazine, 90% of network managers surveyed say
that getting the technical support they need is extremely
important when choosing a vendor. But even though
network managers pay anywhere from 10 to 20% of their
overall purchase price for a basic service and support
contract, the technical support and service they receive
falls far short of their expectations—and certainly isn’t
worth what they paid.
At Black Box, we guarantee the best value and the
best support. You can even consult our Technical Support
Experts before you buy if you need help selecting just
the right component for your application.
