Compaq HSG80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.4 Configuration and CLI Reference Guide
Establishing a Local Connection to the
Controller
You can communicate with a controller locally or remotely. Use a local connection to
configure the controller for the first time. Use a remote connection to your host
system for all subsequent configuration tasks. See the Quick Setup Guide that came
with your platform kit for details.
The maintenance port provides a convenient way to connect a PC or terminal to the
controller so that you can troubleshoot and configure it. This port accepts a standard
RS-232 jack from any EIA-423 compatible terminal or a PC with a terminal-
emulation program. The maintenance port supports serial communications with
default values of 9600 baud using 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
NOTE: The maintenance port cable shown in Figure 5–9 has a 9-pin connector
molded onto its end for a PC connection. If you need a terminal connection, or for
any information on part numbers, see the
HSG80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.3
and 8.4 Maintenance and Service Guide
for information on optional cabling.
