Communicating with the PowerVault 35F
The PowerVault 35F is designed to function directly out of the shipping container with no special configuration
required. However, you have the ability to monitor various aspects of the PowerVault 35F’s performance by
connecting a terminal or terminal emulator to the serial port on the rear of the bridge.
The PowerVault 35F is designed to communicate with any operating system that utilizes a terminal emulator. For
example, you can use Hyperterminal on Windows NT 4.0. If your computer uses another operating system, be sure the
baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity, and terminal emulation are set as specified in
Table 1.
