NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH

INTRODUCTION

The SERIMUX-TERM-CS-x (x=8 or 16) combines a 8 or 16 port Console Switch (SERIMUX) and a VT100/ANSI Terminal Converter (TERMINAL) in a single package controlled by a PS/2 keyboard and VGA monitor. The Console Switch uses menu- driven integrated software. The SERIMUX-TERM-CS-16 can control of up to 16 serial devices including servers, switches, routers, and telecom gear. Additional control methods include front panel keypad, LAN or dial-up modem connections. It enables unlimited access to remote network management, providing optimum system performance and availability.

Terminal Converter

The Terminal Converter (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 10/100 Base-T network port for Ethernet telnet console connection). The Ethernet connection can be used with any 10/100Mbps-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 converter 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.
