NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH

INTRODUCTION

The RACKMUX-T15-RS16 Rackmount Console Terminal Drawer with 16 port Console Switch (RACKMUX) places a VT100/ANSI Terminal and a Console Switch right in the rack for space-saving, convenient control of SUN or PC-based headless servers, routers, and firewalls. The LCD monitor terminal drawer eliminates the need for an external laptop or table-top dumb terminal. The Console Switch delivers control of up to 16 serial devices via Ethernet, LAN or dial-up modem connections. It enables unlimited access to remote network management, providing optimum system performance and availability.

Console Terminal

The Console Terminal (TERMINAL) is easy to install and configure for either of the following communication modes:

¾RS232 Terminal (using an RS-232 port for serial console connection). Use this configuration of the Console Terminal with the Console Switch to control multiple servers.

¾Telnet Terminal (using an RJ45 10Base-T network port for Ethernet telnet console connection). The Ethernet connection can be used with any 10Mb-compatible Ethernet host adapter, but is most suited for use with SUN RSC (Remote System Control) Ethernet ports, since these provide the same functionality as serial (ttya) console ports. This connection supports up to 12 telnet sessions to different servers. The state of each server session is preserved by the terminal. Terminal sessions can be switched via hot-keys. When using the Ethernet telnet connection, the Terminal Drawer can be connected to multiple servers via an Ethernet switch. However, it is advisable that the network used to connect the server consoles remains private for security reasons.

Note: Both RS232 serial and Ethernet telnet connections cannot be active at the same time.

The TERMINAL is a general purpose character terminal drawer offering full transaction capabilities and is largely pre-configured for most applications. It was designed in conjunction with SUN Microsystems to ensure flawless compatibility with all SUN servers. It is also compatible with most racks, including the Sun StorEdge 72", Sun Fire, and most EIA 19" racks. This console drawer is the ideal solution for controlling web servers, DNS servers, mail servers and other equipment that lack video card capability, such as the SUN Netra systems and HP servers.
