Serial Remote Control operation

Background

The SVxx41HDIE offers a unique way to expand the functionality of the base product. Using the integrated R-Porton the rear panel, you can manage up to 16 serial devices using a specialized daisy-chain technology. The SVxx41HDIE includes integrated control functionality that allows you to monitor and configure serial devices using the interactive Web interface. To minimize space and infrastructure requirements, the R-Port modules use a single cable to carry both power and the data signal. All configuration settings are stored separately in each attached device in non-volatile memory so that they will not be lost in the event of a power outage or disconnection.

Connecting Serial Remote Control Modules to the SVxx41HDIE

The cable for each serial device is similar to a phone cable and uses an RJ-14 connector. For the first module, connect the cable (provided) to the R-Porton the rear

panel of the SVxx41HDIE. Connect the opposite end to the DATA OUT (or similar) port on the Serial Remote Control unit. Note that some devices may use an integrated cable, so you will not need to make a separate connection on the serial device. Once you have added the first serial device to the SVxx41HDIE, you can connect additional modules to

the DATA IN (or similar) port on the previous module in the chain. Once the cabling is attached, the module becomes active after a 15 second initialization period. For specific information regarding cabling and status indicators for a specific serial console, refer to the instructions that came with the product.

Configuring/Viewing Serial Remote Control Modules through the Web Interface

Once you have one or more R-Port serial devices connected, you will able to configure and manage them through the Web interface. You may need to modify the default settings on SVxx41HDIE to match your various R-Port modules’ default configuration. Consult the documentation that came with your R-Port module to determine if you need to modify the default settings to complete the installation. To be able to configure your R- Port modules, you must be logged in as admin. Other users will be able to view which modules are active but cannot configure them.

Once you are logged in, choose the Admin/Setup option from the menu at the top of the Home screen in the Web interface. Click External Serial consoles setup and control. You will be presented with the Serial Consoles Attached menu, and a table with the following headings:
