Controller awaits input of characters from the host computer via the command-line. To see the
command-line prompt, you must press
Enter
. The MC provides direct access to the CLI.
NOTE:
Directly cabling to the CLI port is an out-of-band connection, because it communicates outside of
the data paths used to transfer information from a computer or network to the controller enclosure.
Device driver/special operation mode
Certain operating systems require a device driver or special mode of operation. Product and vendor
identification information required for such setup is provided below.
Microsoft Windows
