Logical Solutions SCS-R manual Connect to the Ports, 4.1 SCS160R / SCS320R Dual Console Interface

Installation

3.2.4.1 SCS160R / SCS320R Dual Console Interface

The SCS160R / SCS320R has dual Console Ports, with the Console Port 1 pinned as DCE and the Console Port 2 pinned as DTE. The default configuration of these Console Ports has the second Console Port disabled. To use the second Console port, the root user must enable it.

The second console port is activated by editing the file /misc/inittab . Refer to Section 6 for other System Commands.

3.2.5 Connect to the Ports

Any system (e.g., server, router, switch) with a serial port may be connected to the SCS for consolidated system administration. Server Ports are individually configurable. Consult your server documentation, as necessary.

The default communication parameters for the server Ports are:

•9600 baud,

•8 data bits,

•No parity,

•1 stop bit,

•Xon/Xoff flow control, and

•Port type of DCE

Each Port can be individually configured for baud rates of 300-115,200 baud, the data parameters and as DTE or DCE types.

Note

Ports may also be individually disabled, if desired.

3.2.5.1 Port Adapters

You may need to adapt the cable connection for your server device. Logical Solu- tions offers serial-to-RJ45 adapters for serial ports, both DB9 and DB25, for many common network-equipment product applications.
