Task 7: Setting Up the CLI Connection
The VessJBOD has a Command Line Interface (CLI) to manage all of its
functions, including customization. Access the CLI via your PC’s terminal VT100
or ANSI emulation program, such as Microsoft HyperTerminal.
To set up the CLI connection:
1.
Change your terminal emulation program to agree with the following
settings.
•
Bits per second: 115200
•
Data bits: 8
•
Parity: None
•
Stop bits: 1
•
Flow control: none
2.
Start your PC’s terminal emulation program.
3.
Press Enter once to launch the CLI.
When connected and ready, the CLI screen displays:
***********************************************
Promise SAS Expander v2.xx.0000.xx
***********************************************
cli>
The
cli>
prompt on your screen indicates that you have a connection and the
CLI is ready to accept commands.
