Setting Up Serial Cable Connections
Serial communication enables the Command Line Interface (CLI) and Command
Line Utility (CLU) on your PC to monitor and control the VessRAID. The
VessRAID package 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 controller.
2. Attach the DB9 end of the serial data cable to a serial port on the Host PC or
Server.
This completes the serial cable connection. Go to “Connecting the Power” on
page 35.
