3. CLI Features
This Command Line Interface (CLI) is provided for you to configure the
8 bays compact tower JBOD enclosure functions. The CLI is useful in
environments where a graphical user interface (GUI) is not available.
• Locations of RS-232C Port
The ARC-4038 JBOD enclosure uses the RJ11 port as the serial port
interface. Please use the cable included on the shipping box to con
-
figure the expander controller.
•
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
1K XMODEM file transfer protocol.
The serial port on the SAS expander controller’s back panel can
be used in VT100 mode. The provided interface cable converts the
RS-232 signal of the RJ11 connector on the SAS expander control
-
ler into a 9-pin D-Sub male connector. The firmware-based termi
-
nal 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.
