Command Line Interface (CLI)

CLI Setup
Before using the serial interface to connect to the MSA1000, a serial connection
to the controller must be established.
Note: Any terminal emulator program may be used, but the following instructions
demonstrate setting up the serial connection with HyperTerminal.
Setting up the Serial Connection
To access the CLI on the MSA1000:
1. Make sure there is an MSA1000 Controller installed in Slot 1 of the
MSA1000. (Slot 1 is located on the front right of the MSA1000.)
2. Connect the MSA1000 to a host computer using the custom serial cable
included in the shipping carton of the MSA1000.
An additional or replacement custom serial cable can be ordered using part
number 259992-001.
■ MSA1000 adapter: RJ-45Z
■ Host computer adapter: serial port on the host computer
3. Set up a terminal emulator.
To set up HyperTerminal:
a. Access HyperTerminal.
If you need to load HyperTerminal on the server, navigate the Web and
download the latest version.
If HyperTerminal is already loaded on the server, but its location is
unknown, to locate this program on a Windows-based machine, go to
Start, Search, For Files and Folders. Enter
hypertrm.exe as search
term.
After this program is installed or located, if desired, create a shortcut for it
to simplify subsequent accesses.
b. Open HyperTerminal.
When accessed for the first time, the New Connection dialog box is
displayed.
See Figure 58 for an example of the New Connection dialog box.
