•An RJ45 10/100BaseT Ethernet port lets you connect the controller to a network to enable out-of-band management and monitoring using the embedded StorView GUI software.

Important

Only shielded, Cat 5 (or better) cables should be used for connection to the

Ehternet port for EMC performance.

•There is also an RS232 socket which provides an alternative user interface to the RJ45 connector.

Caution

Although the RS232 port is similar in appearance to a USB port, it requires a special cable and you should not attach a USB cable to it.

The recommended configurations are shown in “Ethernet connection” on page 24 and “Enclosure cabling - multiple enclosures” on page 25.

StorViewManagement software

The StorView Storage Management software which is embedded in the controller module is a full-featured, graphical, HTML-based software suite designed to configure, manage, and monitor the controller module storage solution. The module is configured with a base IP address to let you connect to it. See “StorView Storage Management software” on page 29 or the Gateway E-842R StorView Storage Management Software User Guide for further information.
