Setting Up Serial Cable Connections

Serial communication enables the Command Line Interface (CLI) on your PC to

monitor and control the VTrak JBOD. The CLI is explained in “Setting Up the CLI

Connection” on page 26.

The VTrak box includes a RJ11-to-DB9 serial data cable.

To set up a serial cable connection:

1. Attach the RJ11 end of the serial data cable to the RJ11 serial connector on

the left I/O module on the back of the VTrak.

See Figure 14.

2. Attach the DB9 end of the serial data cable to a serial port on the Host PC or

Server.
