Task 8: Setting-up Serial Cable Connections
Serial communication enables the Command Line Interface (CLI) and Command
Line Utility (CLU) on your PC to monitor to control the VTrak. The VTrak package
includes one RJ11-to-DB9 serial data cable for each controller. All VTrak models
have the same serial connection.
Figure 12.Serial and UPS connectors are 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
one of the controllers.
2.
Attach the DB9 end of the serial data cable to a serial port on the Host PC or
server.
Optional UPS Serial Connection
If your deployment plan calls for one or more UPS units and management via
serial communication, connect the UPS control cable to the DB9 connector on
the VTrak controller. See Figure 12.
When your subsystem is running, see “Making UPS Settings” in the
VTrak E-
Class Product Manual
on the software DVD to complete the UPS management
setup.
