Compaq HSG80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.4 Configuration and CLI Reference Guide
CAUTION: The local-connection port described in this book generates,
uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy through cables that are
connected to it. This energy may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not leave any cables connected to it when you are not
communicating with the controller.
Follow these steps to establish a local connection for setting the controller’s initial
configuration:
1. Turn off the PC or terminal, and connect it to the controller, as shown in
Figure 5–9.
a. For a PC connection, plug one end of the maintenance port cable into the ter-
minal; plug the other end into the controller’s maintenance port.
2. Turn on the PC or terminal.
3. Configure the terminal for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
4. Press the Enter or Return key. A copyright notice and the CLI prompt appear,
indicating that you established a local connection with the controller.
5. Optional: to increase the data transfer rate to 19200 baud:
a. Set the controller to 19200 baud with one of the following commands:
SET THIS_CONTROLLER TERMINAL SPEED=19200
SET OTHER_CONTROLLER TERMINAL SPEED=19200
b. Configure the PC or terminal for 19200 baud.
When you are entering CLI commands in a dual-redundant controller configuration,
remember that the controller to which you’re connected is “this controller” and the
remaining controller is the “other controller.” See “Terminology,” page 2–2, on the
definitions for “this controller” and “other controller.”
