NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH INTRODUCTION The RACKMUX-T15-RS16 Rackmount Console Terminal Drawer with 16 port Console Switch (RACKMUX) places a VT100/ANSI Terminal and a Console Switch right in the rack for space-saving, convenient control of SUN or PC-based headless servers, routers, and firewalls. The LCD monitor terminal drawer eliminates the need for an external laptop or table-top dumb terminal.
NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH Console Switch The Console Switch (SERIMUX) includes a text-based menu for easy connection management for administrators. Using a terminal emulator the menu provides a quick means for user serial connection changes and device control. The Console Switch (SERIMUX) is a serial port router that allows links (or connections) between multiple pairs of RS-232 asynchronous serial ports.

NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH 1.4 Connect the SERIMUX and TERMINAL to a Network To control the SERIMUX and TERMINAL through a network connected PC, connect a CAT5 Ethernet network cable to the connector marked "ETHERNET". Then connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a Local Area Network (LAN) through a 10/100 BaseT switch or hub. (See Fig. 4.
NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH 2. GETTING STARTED Introduction This chapter covers basic configuration topics. Included is information on setting up the TERMINAL to control the SERIMUX. 1. Using the instruction under “Setup The Terminal” below (or more detailed instruction on page 31), setup the TERMINAL to make connection to the SERIMUX.

NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH 3. USING THE SERIMUX CONSOLE SWITCH The SERIMUX Console Switch is controlled using the TERMINAL and menu-driven integrated software. The SERIMUX can be easily configured using the TERMINAL with a keyboard-controlled menu to modify various parameters and options for each port to be connected to a device.
NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH 3.1 Administrator Controls 3.1 1 Login as the administrator 1. The TERMINAL must first be configured (and is typically delivered preconfigured) as described on page 8 under "Getting Started”. Note: The administrator can only login from the TERMINAL connection (serially). Be sure that the Ethernet Mode is set to OFF (page 9) before trying to login as administrator. 2.

Figure 8- The Port list displays the status of all ports The Port list displays the following information: Column Heading Port Log Con U/H Mdm BaudRate Serial Flow Xon/Xoff Discon DscTime Description Port number and name Index number of the user logged in at the port The number of another port (Pxx) connected to that port .
NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH FYI: RE: DscTime ( Disconnect Time) The value shown in the Port list is derived from various sources depending on the type of connection active at the time. - If a user is logged into a port as just a user, the time shown will be the remaining time based on the user's timeout setting.
NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH From the Port settings menu, the configuration of each port can be viewed and changed.
NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH 3.1.3.1 Port serial settings From the "Port settings" menu, press [5] to display the "Port serial settings" menu. Using this menu, the administrator can adjust the serial settings of each port, or copy the current port serial settings and paste them to another port or to all ports. Figure 11- Port serial settings menu 3.1.3.1.1 Baud rate Any baud rate (serial speed) between 50 bps - 128Kbps can be selected, (except for port 0, between 300 bps - 115.

When saving the file, choose a directory to place the file in and a name that will identify it with the extension " .bin" (i.e. SERIMUX1_8.bin).
NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH 3.2. User Controls Users can connect only to accessible ports as defined by the administrator. A list of those ports will be displayed with a successful login. Connection can be made using the TERMINAL, or a serial terminal with an emulator (e.g. Windows HyperTerminal) connected to the SERIMUX at an allowed user port To login, press the [Spacebar] or [Enter] key. Users can login by entering a valid name and password, assigned by the administrator.

NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH 3.2.3 Port List screen From the "User main menu", press [3] to display the list of user accessible ports and information about these ports. Only the administrator can change the communication settings.
NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH 3.2.4 User Terse mode This mode is especially useful when the SERIMUX is directly controlled by external software from a serial console (as a user without administrative privileges), rather than being controlled by a user from a keyboard interface. Entering short command strings performs functions similar to the user main menu commands. A [CR] – [LF] sequence ends every string.
NTI RACK MOUNT CONSOLE TERMINAL WITH CONSOLE SWITCH ¾ Verbose mode Send or type in: [V] [Enter] The answer will be: OK [CR][LF] and the Terse mode will be terminated. The “Accessible host list” or the “User main menu” will be displayed. Note: Once a user configured for Terse mode login exits Terse mode to enter Verbose mode, Terse mode login will no longer be available at login. To return to Terse mode, the administrator must re-configure the user settings to enter Terse mode at login.
