no time/date stamp on system activity. If a time/date stamp is required, it must be provided by the system capturing the data output.
Connection instructions for the logging port:
1.Turn on power to the terminal or computer. If using a computer, start the desired communication program. The terminal or communications program used must be in VT100 emulation mode
2.Ensure that the communications settings are correct. The factory defaults for the control card, which may only be changed by a hardware DIP switch, are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity (9600 8N1). If in doubt as to the current communication settings on the control card, check the DIP switches and refer to Figure 2, Control Card Layout with DIP Switch Settings, on page 9.
3.Locate the serial port on the terminal or computer and determine what type of connector is used. The cable kit included with the ConsoleServer 3200 contains each of the following: one RJ45 serial cable, an RJ45 to male DB9 adapter, an RJ45 to female DB9 adapter, an RJ45 to male DB25 adapter, and an RJ45 to female DB25 adapter. Select the appropriate adapter for the serial port on the terminal or computer.
4.Firmly seat the adapter in the serial port. Screw down the adapter to secure it to the serial port.
5.Insert one end of the serial cable into the adapter until a click is heard. Insert the other end of the serial cable into port "B" of the control card, again until a click is heard.
6.At the sys admin>> prompt, enter the command LOG /ENABLE. Log in as a user as outlined in chapter 7. Check for output on the logging port. If no output has appeared, check all cable connections. If “garbage” characters appear, check that all communications parameters match.
7.The ConsoleServer 3200 will continue to output logging information through the “B” port of the control card until the command LOG /DISABLE is entered at the sys admin>> prompt. Configure any text captures or scripts as needed to receive the logging data.
6.8Sys Admin Session Management Commands
The ConsoleServer 3200 features two commands that allow the sys admin to manage properties of the control port terminal session.
