Setting a Fault Action

By default, when communications are disrupted (for example, a
cable is disconnected) or the scanner is idle, the drive responds by
faulting if it is using I/O from the network.

You can configure a different response to communication
disruptions using Comm Flt Action (10) and a different response to
an idle scanner using Idle Flt Action (11).

4.9.1 Changing the Fault Action

Set the values of Comm Flt Action (10) and Idle Flt Action (11) to
the desired responses as shown in table 4.6. See figure 4.26 for
sample LCD OIM Fault Action Screens.

!

ATTENTION: Comm Flt Action (10) and Idle Flt
Action (11) let you determine the action of the
adapter and connected drive if communications are
disrupted or the scanner is idle. By default, these
parameters fault the drive. You can set these
parameters so that the drive continues to run.
Precautions should be taken to ensure that the
settings of these parameters do not create a hazard
of injury or equipment damage. Failure to observe
these precautions could result in bodily injury or
damage to, or destruction of, equipment.
