Terminal Emulator and COM Port Problems
•
Screen continuously puts out garbage characters.
The likely cause is a baud rate mismatch between the terminal emulator and the RAID Controller
Module. The correct baud rate is 115,200. Check to make sure the terminal emulator is set
to the correct baud rate.
NOTE: Some terminal emulators do not immediately change to the new baud rate settings.
Exit and restart the emulator to use the new settings.
1. If possible, shut down the controller (refer to section "Rebooting the Controller" for
further information).
If unable to shut down controller, continue with Step 2.
2. Turn OFF power to the InfoStation chassis.
3. Hold down the spacebar (on the keyboard) and turn ON power to InfoStation chassis.
This will allow the controller to autodetect the baud rate setting.
4. Select option 5 from the Flash Utility to continue rebooting the controller.
•
Nothing is displayed on the terminal emulator.
The probable cause is either a bad RS-232 cable connection or a bad cable. Ensure that the
cable is connected properly. Check the cable for any damage.
If attempting to access the RAID Module via the InfoStation UI Module's RS-232 serial port,
ensure that serial port set-up was done correctly (refer to section "Starting the Disk Array
Administrator Utility" for further information. Ensure that the correct InfoStation Firmware is
being used (Firmware Rev. 1.6 or higher).
