Chapter 4 The Management Control Port (MCP) 

The management port on the RamSan-210 allows you to manage, configure, and monitor 
system behavior.  This includes obtaining status information about internal hardware, 
configuring the LUNs, and obtaining data rates of the system. 
 
You may connect to the management port using either a DB-9 serial cable or an RJ-45 
Ethernet cable. 

To connect to the serial port use the DB-9 non-null serial cable supplied with the 
system.  You need to set your terminal program to 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no 
parity, and 1 stop bit. 

In order to use the Ethernet port, you must first configure the IP address for the 
RAM-SAN.  You may configure the IP using the front panel display or from the 
serial port.  For a complete description for configuring the Ethernet using the front 
panel, please refer to Section 3.3 of this manual.  If you are configuring the 
Ethernet using the serial port refer to Section 4.5.5 of this manual. 

 

To connect to the RamSan-210 using a serial port connection, you must use a dumb 
terminal or a terminal emulation program such as Windows™ HyperTerminal.  Your 
baud rate should be set to 9600 with 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control. 
 

Once the Ethernet port on the RamSan-210 has been configured using either the front 
panel or the serial port, you may remotely monitor the system using a telnet session.  
Your terminal settings should be set to VT100 mode. 
 

The RamSan-210 has two login accounts, “root” and “user”.  Default passwords for both 
accounts have been left blank.
