Black Box LES114BA Server User Manual


 
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.
4.1.4 Device (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.
4.1.5 Terminal 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.
