Emulated Serial Port
Once attached to the controller module, the management computer should detect a new
USB device. Using the Emulated Serial Port interface, the EF3015 controller presents a
single serial port using a
customer vendor ID
and
product ID
. Effective presentation of the
emulated serial port assumes the management computer previously had terminal emulator
installed (see
D.1.3 "Supported Host Applications"
). Serial port configuration is unnecessary.
IMPORTANT :
Certain operating systems require a device driver or special
mode of operation to enable proper functioning of the USB CLI port (see
Driver/Special Operation Mode"
D.1.3
Supported Host Applications
The EF3015 controllers support the following applications to facilitate connection.
D.1.4
Command Line Interface
Once the management computer detects connection to the USB-capable device, the
Management Controller (MC) awaits input of characters from the host computer via the
command line. To see the command line prompt, you must press
Enter
. The MC provides
direct access to the CLI.
NOTE :
Directly cabling to the CLI port is an out-of-band connection, because it
communicates outside of the data paths used to transfer information from a computer
or network to the controller enclosure.
