Appendix C- Terminal Session Setup

The RAIDBank4 has provisions for an RS232 host management connection. In order to use the RS232, a special cable has to be used (not included)- consult your authorized Micronet reseller for more information. The communications port configuration defaults are 115200 Baud, 1 Stop bit operation, no handshaking and no parity. For changing these settings, please see section 5 of chapters 3 or 4.

Serial host management requires a VT100 compatible terminal, or a PC operating in an equivalent terminal emulation mode. All RAIDBank4 monitoring, configuration and adminis- tration functions can be exercised from the terminal session.
