Starting the Disk Array Administrator Utility
NOTES: Microsoft ® Windows ® 3.x and Windows ® NT™ 3.5x include a program called Terminal
which does not support ANSI color. If using either O/S, select VT-100 for terminal
emulation or use a third-party software program such as Procomm for Windows.
Microsoft
® Windows ® 95/98/NT/2000 includes a program called HyperTerminal that
supports ANSI color.
The Disk Array Administrator Utility is implemented with a VT-100 or ANSI terminal connected
through the RS-232 serial port on the RAID Module (Figure 2). This utility is embedded in the
firmware; software loading is not required unless for upgrade purposes.
The Disk Array Administrator Utility can also be implemented through the RS-232 serial port
on the InfoStation User Interface Module (InfoStation Firmware Rev. 1.6 and higher), as shown
in Figure 7. This is especially convenient in rack-mount environments where it may be difficult
to access the InfoStation RAID Module directly.
