Setting Up Serial Cable Connections

Serial communication enables the Command Line Interface (CLI) and Command

Line Utility (CLU) on your PC to monitor to control the VTrak. The VTrak package

includes one RJ11-to-DB9 serial data cable for each controller. All VTrak models

have the same serial connection.

Figure 18. UPS and Serial connectors are located on each controller

To set up a serial cable connection:

1. Attach the RJ11 end of the serial data cable to the RJ11 serial connector on

one of the controllers.

2. Attach the DB9 end of the serial data cable to a serial port on the Host PC or

Server.

Optional UPS Serial Connection

If your deployment plan calls for one or more UPS units and management via

serial communication, connect a UPS control cable to the UPS connector on the

VTrak controller. See Figure 18.

The UPS control cables are available from PROMISE Technology at

When your subsystem is running, see “Making UPS Settings” on page 81 or

page 215 to complete the UPS management setup.
