3.2 From ANSI Terminal Via Monitor Utility
3.2.1 Monitor Utility
The
SurfRAID
LC16 control panel allows exploration of all configurable features. However, the small
form factor of the control panel only allows a small LCD display output. A limited amount of information
can be displayed at a given time on the LCD display.
The monitor utility displays all information on a larger terminal screen via a serial interface. The
monitor utility is identical to the LCD display, where it displays the basic self-diagnostic, opera-
tion, and configuration information. However, it allows the Configuration Menu to be displayed
using a graphical user interface. Additionally, it displays more detailed error, warning, and status
messages, impractical to display on the front control panel LCD.
NOTE:
The Monitor Utility via the RS-232 interface and the front control panel cannot be used
at the same time. When one is active, access to the other is disabled.
