Task 7: Setting Up the CLI Connection

The VessJBOD has a Command Line Interface (CLI) to manage all of its
functions, including customization. Access the CLI via your PC's terminal VT100
or ANSI emulation program, such as Microsoft HyperTerminal.
To set up the CLI connection:
1. Change your terminal emulation program to agree with the following
settings.
• Bits per second: 115200
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: none
2. Start your PC's terminal emulation program.
3. Press Enter once to launch the CLI.
When connected and ready, the CLI screen displays:
***********************************************
***********************************************
cli>
The cli> prompt on your screen indicates that you have a connection and the
CLI is ready to accept commands.
CLI Command Set
The CLI uses the following set of commands:
cable – Specifies the length of cable for optimal signal quality.
enclosure – Displays full information on the VessJBOD enclosure and its
components.
factorydefault – Restores factory default settings.
help – Use alone to see the list of commands. Use with a command to see a list
of options. Examples: enclosure -help or enclosure -h.
link – Displays the current status of the PHYs (links), error counter, expander and
attached SAS addresses.
route – Displays addresses of components through a downstream (expansion)
connection.
uptime – Displays the number of days, hours, minutes and seconds since the
firmware was loaded (since the VessJBOD was started or restarted).
