Establishing Connection with a Linux System
NOTE: The following examples use the Linux cu utility which can be found in the UUCP
package.
To set up your Linux system for connection with the HSG60 Controller, follow these
steps:
1. Use the supplied serial cable and the 9 to 25 pin RS-232 adapter (P/N=12-45238-01) to
connect the serial port on the Linux system to the serial port on the RAID array
controller.
2. Open the file /etc/uucp/port.
3. Verify that the following lines exist:
port com1
type direct
device /dev/ttyS0
speed 9600
If these lines are not in the port file for the appropriate serial port, enter them and save
the file.
4. Create /dev/ttys0 by entering:
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV ttyS0
5. Open a terminal window from the Desktop Program menu.
6. Start the Call Up Program (CU), at the prompt type:
cu -p com1
Press Enter.
