The Console Switch (SERIMUX) is a serial port router that allows links (or connections) between multiple pairs of
Each SERIMUX port has to be configured for serial communication (baud rate, parity, etc) within the specifications of the attached serial device, but the configurations of the two devices linked by the SERIMUX do not need to match. Various parameters (communication speed, hardware and/or software flow control, timeout, etc) can be selected for each SERIMUX port. Devices may be either locally connected or connected through attached modems.
Each SERIMUX port can be configured as either a host or user port. Serial hosts (such as servers, switches etc.) are connected to host ports, while serial user devices (such as a terminal or serial console) are connected to user ports.
The SERIMUX Console Switch supports two operator levels: user and administrator. Users login at user ports and connect to serial devices attached at host ports. The administrator (logged in at any user port) and users with administrative privileges can see and/or modify various port or user parameters.
Features
The SERIMUX provides secure, flexible management of servers, routers, switches, and other networked devices. Key features include:
•Eliminates the need to connect each device to an ASCII terminal or PC
•Connect up to 32 devices with different baud rates, parity, and character length. Each switch also has one RJ45 connector for the local terminal
•Provides
•No inadvertent "break" signals are generated to cause unintentional rebooting of SUN computers
•Available with an optional 48V
•Two operator levels (administrator and user)
•Switching is simplified with programmable device names and
•
•Local commands can be directed via VT52, VT100, ANSI serial console, a PC with a terminal emulation program, or any compliant terminal
•The SERIMUX can be power cycled without halting a SUN host computer
•Gain access to servers without interrupting service to
•Manage server farms or data centers via serial ports and standard external modems
