Task 8: Setting the IP Address
Setting up the Serial Connection
VessRAID has a Command Line Interface (CLI) to manage all of its functions,
including customization. A subset of the CLI is the Command Line Utility (CLU), a
user-level interface that manages your VessRAID via your PC's terminal
emulation program, such as Microsoft HyperTerminal. This procedure uses the
serial cable connection you made in Task 5 (see page 14).
You must use the CLI, the CLU, or the optional LCD to assign an IP address to
the VessRAID to enable a network connection for WebPAM PROe.
