Setting up serial port communications

The network storage router is designed to communicate with a terminal or any operating system utilizing

a terminal emulator. For example, most Windows

operating systems can use a terminal. Be sure the

baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity, and flow control are set correctly.

To set up serial communications with the network storage router:

1. Plug the serial cable into one of the host computer’s serial ports (COM1 or COM2), and then plug the

other end of the serial cable into the network storage router’s serial port (see Figure 2 on page 9).

2. Start the terminal emulator.

3. Set the terminal emulator to use the appropriate COM port.

4. Specify the following settings for the port:

NOTE: Before initially applying power to the network storage router, make sure all the SCSI devices are

powered on first, and that they have finished performing individual self tests. This helps to ensure that

device discovery works correctly.

5. Apply power to the network storage router. The power-up process can take up to 90 seconds. Once

complete, the main menu should be accessible.

Baud Rate: 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200

(Autobaud only recognizes these baud rates)

Data Bits: 8

Stop Bits: 1

Parity: None

Flow Control: None or XON/XOFF
