Configure Serial connection in your console application (PuTTY, HyperTerminal, SecureCRT, Minicom, etc).
Note: Refer to the Getting Started Guide for the relevant appliance (see sk96246).
Hello all, im new to NetApps and have no idea how to configure it nor how access it throught configuration port. What happen is that our storage was working fine until one of our staff accessed the storage configuration through http portal and turnned the virtual interface off. Now we are unable to access the device in order to turn it on. The serial connection will be used for initial configuration, and then in-band management via ONTAP and the FC ports can be used to monitor and manage the bridge. If configuring for IP management, connect the Ethernet management 1 port on each bridge to your network by using an Ethernet cable. The show storageArray autoSupport command displays the AutoSupport bundle collection settings for the. Proxy server connection. The chassis serial.

I am attempting to enable web-management functionality on my Dell PowerConnect2824.
From what I can tell by reading the manual I need to connect via the serial port to enable web functionality.
I picked up a serial-to-USB adaptor and installed the drivers onto my Windows 7 machine. It now shows up in my Device Manager under Ports, Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port (COM5).
However when I fire up PuTTY and choose 'serial' and enter COM5 the resulting terminal window simply hangs.
The PowerConnect uses VT100 protocol which from what I understand PuTTY recognizes. My serial settings are as follows:

Most switches that I have worked with do not use any flow control, so I double checked the Dell PowerConnect and it indeed does not use flow control.
From page 33 of the manual:9600 baud 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no paritySet flow control to noneUnder Properties, select VT100 for Emulation mode

Try pressing Enter after connecting. As far as I know, there's no way for the device to know when PuTTY opens the serial port; an Enter keypress would serve as a 'attention' message and you should receive a reply.

This sounds stupid, but did you make sure that your serial to USB cable is also a null-modem cable?
I've had the same issue, until I figured out that I had to get a small null-modem bridge in order to actually communicate with a server with a serial console.

You probably need to read the switch's manual to see what serial options need to be set for Flow Control, Parity, etc. It should be in there somewhere.
