3.2 Text Management Interface
The RamSan’s management port allows you to manage, configure, and
monitor system behavior.
You may connect to the management port with either a DB-9 serial cable
or an RJ-45 Ethernet cable.
3.2.1 Connecting using a terminal program
To connect to the RamSan using a serial port connection, use a
dumb terminal or a terminal emulation program such as Windows™
HyperTerminal. Set your baud rate to 9600 with 8 data bits, 1
stop bit, no parity, and no flow control.
To connect to the serial port, use the DB-9 non-null serial cable
supplied with the system.
3.2.2 Connecting using Telnet
Once the administrator configures the Ethernet port on the
RamSan using either the front panel or the serial port, you may
remotely monitor the system using a Telnet session. Set your
terminal settings to VT100 mode.
In order to use the Ethernet port, first configure the IP address for
the RamSan by using the front panel display or from the serial
port. For complete instructions for configuring the Ethernet, please
refer to Section 4.3 – Configuring Ethernet Settings.
3.2.3 General interface layout and instructions
TMS designed the management program as a text based GUI. This
program displays all of the user’s possible choices in a series of
menus. The user may select menu items by entering the number
of the menu item or by using the arrow keys and the [ENTER] key.
For a detailed description of each menu item, arrow down to the
item and press the [H] key to display help text.
