Using the VT-100 terminal

Using the VT-100 terminal

Access to the RAID controller is accomplished by using its onboard configuration utility with a VT-100 terminal or terminal emulation connected to the RS-232 serial port on the controller.

A SATA communication RS-232 cable (provided with the hardware) is used to connect the terminal to the serial port on the SATA RAID controller.

Configure your host system or terminal RS-232 port to use the following settings:

To access the RAID controllers:

1 Connect the host terminal to the serial port on the controller using a null-modem serial cable (use the configuration information in the preceding tables).

2 Turn on the terminal and the Gateway 840 Series storage system.
