3.2Device Cards

The Device cards are fully compatible with the SCS3230 application. The SCS3230 requires version 4.03 Build 01 (or higher) of the Device Card binary firmware. Firmware updates are downloadable from the Lightwave FTP site (ftp://ftp.lightwavecom.com).

Note: DEVICE CARD firmware MUST be updated to 4.03 or higher

Each DEVICE card has four completely independent ports for attachment to servers or other devices with console ports. Eight device cards may be installed per system, for a maximum of 32 device ports. The device ports do not send an 'break' signal to the attached servers at any time unless specified by the user. There are no adjustments directly on the device cards. All parameters are set up through the system administrator port.

3.3Access Cards

The card configuration is changed with the SCS3230, compared to CS3200.

3.3. 1 NETWORK / CONTROL Card

The NETWORK / CONTROL card allows users to connect to the device cards from an SSH or telnet session over an IP network, and remote access to the administration functions.

The NETWORK / CONTROL card replaces the CONTROL card from the CS3200, and is located in the far right slot of the system chassis. Only one card is required in an SCS3230.

The NETWORK / CONTROL card includes one TERM connector for a local Console; one 10/100 NET connector for a TCP/IP network interface, and four CHANNEL EXTENDER ports. The Channel Extender ports are connected by RJ45 cables to one to four CHANNEL EXTENDER cards, which are an extension of the NETWORK card's operation.

The NETWORK / CONTROL card supports up to sixteen simultaneous user

telnet connections and one administrator connection to the same IP address. The network card must be connected to a network that uses TCP/IP.
