1. Introduction
This Command Line Interface (CLI) is provided for you to configure
the Areca SAS RAID controller expander functions. The CLI is useful in
environments where a graphical user interface (GUI) is not available.

Establishing the Connection for the RS-232 Port
The CLI function can be done by using an ANSI/VT-100 compat
-
ible terminal emulation program. You must complete the appropri
-
ate installation procedure before proceeding with the CLI function.
Whichever terminal emulation program is used must support the
XMODEM file transfer protocol.
The serial port on the SAS RAID controller’s bracket can be used
in VT100 mode. The provided interface cable converts the RS232
signal of the RJ11 connector on the SAS expander controller into
a 9-pin D-Sub male connector. The firmware-based terminal SAS
expander management interface can access the expander through
this RS-232 port. You can attach a VT-100 compatible terminal or a
PC running a VT-100 terminal emulation program to the serial port
for accessing the text-based setup menu.
