By connecting a VT100 terminal, or a PC operating in an equivalent terminal emulation mode, all 
RAID subsystem monitoring, configuration and administration functions can be carried out. 
 
There is a wide variety of Terminal Emulation packages available, such as 

Hyperterm

. Open 

the Terminal Emulator of your choice and configure the Settings of the Terminal port as shown in 
the Terminal Requirements table above. 
 
When the VT100 Terminal set-up is complete, you can press the " X " key (on your Terminal) to 
link the RAID subsystem and Terminal together. The disk array Monitor Utility screen is 
displayed on your VT100 Terminal. 

 

Please refer to the SmartGUI user guide to continue with the configuration of the Qubex using the 
VT-100 terminal software. 

Web browser-based RAID manager

 

Firmware-embedded web browser RAID manager is a HTTP–based application, which utilizes 
the browser installed on your operating system. The Ethernet LAN port (see Chapter 2 for 
location of components) can be used to configure the subsystem without any additional software 
or drivers. 

 

 
You can manage the RAID subsystem remotely without adding any user specific software 
(platform independent) via standard web browsers connected directly to the 10/100 Ethernet 
RJ45 LAN port. 
 
To configure the RAID subsystem on a local or remote machine, you need to know its IP 
Address. The default IP address is detailed on the Product Documentation and Quality Sheet 
provided with the unit. 

 

To launch the TCP/IP & Web Browser-based RAID manager, enter: 

 

 

http://[IP Address]

 

 

 

NOTE: You must be logged-in as administrator with local admin rights on the workstation to 
remotely configure RAID subsystem. The user name and password are case sensitive. The 
default  values are:

 

 

User Name: 

“admin”  

Password: “0000”
