Black Box LES1416A, LES1332A, LES1408A, LES144BA Device RPC, UPS, EMD Mode, Terminal Server Mode

For configuration details, refer to Chapter 6.6—Using SDT Connector to Telnet or SSH connect to devices that are serially attached to the console server.

4.1.4Device (RPC, UPS, EMD) Mode

This mode configures the selected serial port to communicate with a serial controlled Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS), Remote Power Controller/Power Distribution Unit (RPC) or Environmental Monitoring Device (EMD).

Select the desired Device Type (UPS, RPC or EMD)

Proceed to the appropriate device configuration page (Serial & Network: UPS Connections, RPC Connection or Environmental) as detailed in Chapter 8—Power & Environmental Management.

4.1.5Terminal Server Mode

Select Terminal Server Mode and the Terminal Type (vt220, vt102, vt100, Linux, or ANSI) to enable a getty on the selected serial port.

The getty will then configure the port and wait for a connection to be made. An active connection on a serial device is usually indicated by the Data Carrier Detect (DCD) pin on the serial device being raised. When a connection is detected, the getty program issues a login: prompt, and then invokes the login program to handle the actual system login.

Note Selecting Terminal Server mode will disable Port Manager for that serial port, so data is no longer logged for alerts, etc.
