Typical Setup Scenarios for the SLB Device

Following are typical configurations in which SLB connections can be used, with references to settings on the Connections and Device Ports web pages.

Terminal Server

In this setup, the SLB branch office manager acts as a multiplexer of serial data to a single server computer. Terminal devices are connected to the serial ports of the SLB device and configured as a Device Port to Telnet out type connection on the Connections page. The users of the terminals can access the server as if they were connected directly to it by local serial ports or a console.

Remote Access Server

In this setup, the SLB branch office manager is connected to one or more modems by its device ports. Configure the device ports on the Device Ports - Settings web page by selecting the Dial-inoption in the Modem Settings section. Most customers use the modems in PPP mode to establish an IP connection to the SLB device and either Telnet or SSH into the SLB branch office manager. They could also select text mode where, using a terminal emulation program, a user could dial into the SLB device and connect to the command line interface.
