7.0User Access and Interface

7.1Terminal Card

Each terminal card has four (4) RJ45 connector ports to which a terminal may be attached, giving a maximum of 16 physically connected terminals per ConsoleServer 3200 unit. The terminal card may be installed in slots B, C, D, or E.

To access servers through the ConsoleServer 3200 terminal card, the user must have at least a text terminal capable of serial communication, a serial cable terminating in an RJ45 connector, and the proper serial communication settings as determined by the system administrator. The default communication settings are 38400, N, 8, or 1.

Once the hardware is properly connected and configured, the user may issue commands to the terminal card. Before entering any commands, the user should be sure that the terminal card is ready to accept commands by checking that there is a prompt on screen. This is best accomplished by pressing <ENTER> until a prompt appears on the screen (a prompt will not appear on the screen if the terminal port is in direct mode, or if the serial cable is not connected properly).

7.2Network Card

The network card must be connected to a network that uses TCP/IP. Devices connected to the network card must be at 10 Mbits, half duplex, and no auto-negotiation on 10-base T (Cat 5) wiring. The network card may be installed in slots B, C, D, or E.

Network settings are entered via the Sys Admin port.

To connect to the ConsoleServer 3200 network card, the user should use a TCP/IP telnet client to telnet to the IP address assigned to the network card.

Escape character is ‘^]’.

Welcome to the ConsoleServer 3200

You are connected to Port 5 via 172.16.1.31

LCI3200>

The user interface for the network card is exactly the same as that for the terminal card, with a few minor exceptions. When a user first connects to the network card, the card will display Welcome to the Console Server 3200, the ConsoleServer 3200 terminal port number for the connection, and the IP address of the network card. Once at the LCI3200> prompt, the user interface behaves exactly the same as for the terminal cards.
