Task 5: Setting Up Serial Cable Connections
Serial communication enables the Command Line Interface (CLI) on your PC to
monitor and control the VessJBOD. The VessJBOD package includes a RJ11-to-
DB9 serial data cable.
The CLI is explained in “Task 7: Setting Up the CLI Connection” on page 16.
Figure 10. A serial connector is located on the controller
To set up a serial cable connection:
1.
Attach the RJ11 end of the serial data cable to the RJ11 serial connector on
the controller.
2.
Attach the DB9 end of the serial data cable to a serial port on the Host PC or
Server.
This completes the serial cable connection. Go to “Task 6: Connecting the
Power” on page 14.
