    i tried now changing source of current of storage from an ups to the normal current on the wall because an amber led blinked on the back side of it but it still have amber led blinking and i dont know if it could be useful for you to help me. Next i tried to switch modules to connect on one and after on the other one but still doesnt work , no error appers and if i press enter it doesnt work , i controlled the setup of the peripheral and it seems good like you described with 8bits , no flow , ecc. have u got an idea to help me ? thank you.

    i used a common compatible serial cable with 9-pin and an adapter F-F  because cable is M-F , could be this the problem? on my ps6000 i have a module controller 7 so i can use only serial to program it not rj45 , am i wrong?

    i checked my db9f-db9f adapter unmounting it and pin layout it's ok , i bought another cable asking for a cable as you described it in your previous reply and i cannot connect to ps6000 ,. so i checked sd memories of controller to verify the presence of firmware on it and it was ok . what can i do to fix this problem?

    thanks.

    i found a manual for installation of ps6000 in which they say that serial cable must be switched like: 1 and 6 to 4 , 2 to 3 , 5 to 5 , 7 to 8 , 8 to 7 , 4 to 6 and 1 , 3 to 2 do you agree?

    Hi Berno,

    We are having the same issue with our Equallogic PS6000 now. Can you please share the pinouts of DB9f to DB9f that you made?

    Any response or suggestion will be highly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance!
    Regards,

    Jay-R

    Hello, 

     Were you able to log in and get to the GrpName>  prompt?  

     If show you can do a GrpName>show member 

     Then a GrpName>member select MEMBERNAME show eths 

     Also, it's better to create a new topic for a new issue vs. adding on to an old one.  

     Regards,

    Don

    Hello, 

     The GrpName should be part of the prompt you are at. 

    E.g.  If the Group was called EQLSAN the prompt will be EQLSAN> 

    DRsan would be DRsan>  

    So at the prompt type "show member" 

    Regards,

    Don
