CHAPTER 10: Using Management and Serial Control Cards

10. Using Management and Serial

Control Cards

The ServSwitch Multi Management Card (KV1608C-R2) and Serial Control Card (KV1609C) add advanced serial-control features to the ServSwitch Multi. For an introduction to these Cards and for instructions on how to install them and their associated cables and equipment, see Chapter 5.

10.1 Addressing Terminals on the Serial Control Card

Since each Serial Control Card has four ports, channel addressing (for port-selection purposes) requires more than just a chassis number and slot letter. You must also designate which port on the Serial Control Card the terminal is attached to. Ports are numbered from top to bottom as shown in Figure 10-1.

Port 1

Port 2

Port 3

Port 4

For example, the terminal attached to the second port on the Serial Control Card in slot D of chassis 15 would be addressed “l5D2.”
