VT-100 Interface Enclosure Monitoring
Another feature of the imageRAID Series Storage System is the ability to monitor
the system through a VT-100 terminal interface. The firmware based monitoring
program allows users to view storage system component status and information
about the firmware. You may access this program by connecting a VT-100 terminal
to the SES Controller card RS-232 Service port.
To access the monitoring program:
1
Connect one end of the null-modem serial cable to the RS-232 Service port
located on the SES Controller card.
Connecting the RS-232 Cable
NOTE:
The cable is a female-to-female DB-9 null-modem serial cable. Refer
to “Null-Modem Cable Specifications” on page 159 for cable
specifications.
2
Connect the other end of the cable to either a host system’s RS-232 serial
communication port or a VT-100 type terminal.
3
On the host system, run a terminal emulation program or start the terminal.
4
Verify the communication parameters are as follows:
•
9600 Baud
•
8 Data bits
•
1 Stop bit
•
None (parity)
