Setting up the Serial Connection
VessJBOD has a Command Line Interface (CLI) to manage all of its functions via
your PC’s terminal emulation program, such as Microsoft HyperTerminal. This
procedure uses the serial cable connection you made on page 17.
You must use the serial connection to run the CLI for direct management of the
VessJBOD unit. See “Chapter 3: Management” on page 21.
To set up a serial connection:
1.
Change your terminal emulation program settings to match the following
specifications:
•
Bits per second: 115200
•
Data bits: 8
•
Parity: None
•
Stop bits: 1
•
Flow control: none
2.
Start your PC’s terminal VT100 or ANSI emulation program.
3.
Press Enter once to launch the CLI.
When connected and ready, the CLI screen displays:
***********************************************
Promise SAS Expander v2.00.0000.xx
***********************************************
cli>
The
cli>
prompt on your screen indicates that you have a connection and the
CLI is ready to accept commands.
