Chapter 7
Using the Serial/Telnet Interface
This chapter describes specific configuration options available from the perspective of the serial/
Telnet interfaces. For an overview of using the other configuration methods available, see
“
Chapter 5, VT5900-SA Management”.
The VT5900-SA allows the user to access many configuration settings through the serial/Telnet
interface. Among these settings are:
• Baud rate of the serial port
• Fibre Channel addresses
• Ethernet IP and MAC addresses
• Device Mapping
• Trace level settings
All of the above settings may be changed and saved.
Power Up Messages
When you press the VT5900-SA’s power switch to the ‘ON’ position (marked with a ‘I’ symbol),
a series of messages similar to the following appear on the terminal or terminal emulation program
for the serial interface (See “
Chapter 2, Setting Up Serial Port Communications””) or the Telnet
utility for Telnet sessions.
Note: Unless otherwise indicated, configuration changes take effect when the
unit next powers on or reboots.
