3.1 RS-232C Serial Port
Infortrend’s controllers and subsystems can be configured via a PC
running a VT-100 terminal emulation program, or a VT-100
compatible terminal. RAID enclosures usually provide one or more
DB-9 RS-232C ports. Simply use an RS-232C cable to connect
between the controller/enclosure’s RS-232C port and the PC serial
(COM) port.
Make sure you use the included null modem (IFT-9011) to convert
the serial port signals. A null modem might have been provided
inside your enclosure. The Null Modem has the serial signals
swapped for connecting to a standard PC serial interface.
The following are guidelines on using the serial port:
•
The serial port’s default is set at 38400 baud, 8 bit, 1 stop bit and
no parity. Use the COM1 serial port of the controller.
•
In most cases, connecting RD, TD, and SG is enough to establish
the communication with a terminal.
•
If you are using a PC as a terminal, any VT-100 terminal
emulation software will suffice. Microsoft
®
Windows includes a
terminal emulation program as presented with the “(Hyper)
Terminal” icon in the Accessories window.
•
For other details of connecting serial port, please refer to the
Hardware Manual that came with your controller.
