CHAPTER 6: USING THE D.20 RIO
To verify D.20 RIO redundancy states from the D.20 RIO command line:
1.
Connect to the D.20 RIO using Putty/Teraterm. Refer to Section: “Connecting to the
D.20 RIO for the first time” on page 36 for instructions on connecting to the D.20 RIO
through Putty/Teraterm.
2.
Type the below command and verify the D.20 RIO state and other details:
D20RIO#>> sudo /home/D400_APPS/rio_red_tool s

System utilities
The D.20 RIO includes on-board utilities for managing the D.20 RIO system setup, such as
network settings, passwords, system time, and advanced configuration and diagnostic
tools. The System Utilities are accessed at the command line interface using a terminal
session.
You can access the command line interface by either the:
•
Local terminal session through the rear maintenance port
•
SSH terminal session through a network connection
For more information on using the System Utilities, see the
D400 Software Configuration
Guide
.
From the rear maintenance port
To access the D.20 RIO utilities through the rear maintenance port
•
See “Connecting to the D.20 RIO for the first time” on page 36.
Over a network connection
Once you have completed the initial network interface setup, you can initiate a SSH
session through one of the D.20 RIO network connections to access the System utilities.
You need terminal emulation software that supports the SSH protocols. An SSH terminal
emulator must be obtained and installed.
You cannot use the root user account to access your D.20 RIO remotely. You must use an
Administrator-level user account (or a Supervisor-level user account, if so configured).
Refer to “Creating administrator-level user accounts” on page 38 for more information.
You can also initiate a SSH session by clicking the
Utilities
button on the Power bar in the
D.20 RIO HMI.
