Appendix C- Terminal Session Setup
The RAIDBank4 has provisions for an RS232 host management connection. In order to use
the RS232, a special cable has to be used (not included)- consult your authorized Micronet
reseller for more information. The communications port configuration defaults are 115200
Baud, 1 Stop bit operation, no handshaking and no parity. For changing these settings,
please see section 5 of chapters 3 or 4.
Serial host management requires a VT100 compatible terminal, or a PC operating in an
equivalent terminal emulation mode. All RAIDBank4 monitoring, configuration and adminis-
tration functions can be exercised from the terminal session.
There are a wide variety of Terminal Emulation packages, but for the most part they should
be very similar. The following setup procedure is a sample VT100 Terminal session utilizing
Hyper Terminal use Version 3.0 or higher.
Step 1:

Programs -> Accessories -> Communications -> Hyper Terminal. Please see your Microsoft
Windows™ Documentation for more information about HyperTerminal.
Step 2:
