Remote Monitoring and Management
RS-232C Interface
If your data volume is large, it may improve your throughput performance to use a null modem
cable for array management. The K-Series RAID system comes with a standard, 9-pin RS-232C
serial port, which, using a null modem cable, can be connected to any COM port on a host computer
for management purposes. The firmware-based terminal array management interface can manage
the array through the RS-232C port.
The portÕs transmission settings have the following preset values and cannot be modified:
·
Baud Rate:
38400bps
·
Parity:
No
·
Bits:
8
·
Stop Bits:
1
In order to manage the array using the RS-232C port, use a null modem port adapter (not included)
and a serial cable (not included), connect the cable to the RS-232C port on the RAID system and to
the appropriate COM port on the management host. Set the above values in your terminal software,
and launch the software. This will give you access to the firmware-based management program.
The firmware-based management program is a standard VT-100 terminal accessible program
which will automatically start if you connect your host computer to the array via the RS-232C port
and start any VT-100 terminal program using the communications protocol settings listed above.
