3.2   Text Management Interface 

The RamSan’s management port allows you to manage, configure, and 

monitor system behavior.   
 
You may connect to the management port with either a DB-9 serial cable 

or an RJ-45 Ethernet cable. 
 

To connect to the RamSan using a serial port connection, use a 
dumb terminal or a terminal emulation program such as Windows™ 

HyperTerminal.  Set your baud rate to 9600 with 8 data bits, 1 
stop bit, no parity, and no flow control. 

 
To connect to the serial port, use the DB-9 non-null serial cable 
supplied with the system.   

Once the administrator configures the Ethernet port on the 
RamSan using either the front panel or the serial port, you may 

remotely monitor the system using a Telnet session.  Set your 
terminal settings to VT100 mode. 

 
In order to use the Ethernet port, first configure the IP address for 

the RamSan by using the front panel display or from the serial 
port.  For complete instructions for configuring the Ethernet, please 

refer to Section 4.3  – Configuring Ethernet Settings. 

TMS designed the management program as a text based GUI.  This 
program displays all of the user’s possible choices in a series of 

menus.  The user may select menu items by entering the number 
of the menu item or by using the arrow keys and the [ENTER] key. 

 
For a detailed description of each menu item, arrow down to the 

item and press the [H] key to display help text.
