VTrak J610s, J310s Quick Start Guide

Step 7: Setting Up the CLI Connection

The VTrak 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.
With the VTrak running and the RJ11-to-DB9 serial data cable with a null-modem
cable connected to the primary I/O module:
1. Change your terminal emulation program settings to agree with the
following:
• 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.
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 VTrak enclosure and all its
components, expander addresses, and SAS addresses.
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) and the error counter.
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 VTrak was started or restarted).
vpdr – Displays vital product data on field replaceable units.
? – Use alone to see the list of commands. Use with a command to see a list of
options. Example: enclosure -?
Command options are case-sensitive.
In the CLI screens, the circle-icon port is called CN1 and the diamond-icon port is
called CN2. For port icons, see Figure 17 on page 16.
