Enclosure Monitoring Using Vt-100 Emulation - Gateway 850 User Manual

Chapter 3: Monitoring Systems
Enclosure monitoring using
VT-100 emulation
Another feature of the enclosure is the monitoring capabilities. The
firmware-based monitoring program allows users to view storage system
component status and information about the firmware. You may access this
program by connecting a VT-100 terminal to the SAF-TE Service port.
To access the monitoring program:
1
Connect one end of the null-modem RS-232 cable to the SAF-TE Service
port located on the rear panel of the enclosure.
The cable is a DB-9 null-modem serial cable.
2
Connect the other end of the cable to either a host system's serial
communication port or a VT-100 type terminal.
3
On a host system, run a terminal emulation program or start the terminal.
